New to jet boats here, but recently purchased a 2002 Phantom SportJon with 600hrs on the inboard motor. The first trip out on the water the 210 Mercury Optimax inboard jet threw a rod. I haven’t been able to find any options here in Alaska for either new or reman 210 mercury optimax motors.

A few questions:
1. Are there still remanufactured 210 optimax motors available to purchase for these boats in the lower 48?

2. Is there a better drop in option that would work with my lower jet unit?

Im pretty new to jet boats so any help would be greatly appreciated! I’ll even drive down to the lower 48 to pick up a motor! Thanks!
