  They usually don't.
  
  Optimax has some sort of an air filter.

  On a local Bulletin Board. You know how sketchy those places can be.
  
  Thanks, guys. My confidence in common sense is restored.

  I have not seen an air filter on an outboard before.

  Optimax outboards have one... but it's a filter for the air pump, not the engine.

  Tarpon... everything else is just bait.

  Amazon doesn't have them, so they don't exist.

  Yes I have an Optimax and I knew there was a filter but couldn't remember what it was for. Forgot about the air pump. Old age is a beach.

  and when you get finished checking the air filter, don't forget to buff the dilithium crystals - they get corroded in the saltwater environment...
