Description
The Mercury 225XL is a 225hp four-stroke outboard with Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS), electric start, power trim and tilt, and a 25" extra long shaft, weighing 484 lbs. A good match for center consoles, bay and flats boats, deck boats, pontoons and runabouts. As an authorized Mercury dealer, Boat Specialists sells it new with the full Mercury 3-year factory warranty, after our factory-qualified technicians test-run it.
Mercury's 175 to 225hp FourStrokes use a 3.4-liter V6 powerhead for strong performance and reliability, with a vibration-dampening design that keeps the ride quiet and comfortable.
Mercury 225XL Key Features
Adaptive Speed Control: Maintains a desired rpm regardless of changes in load or conditions without adjustments to the throttle lever position.
Smooth and Quite: V6 FourStroke engines are quieter and smoother than the leading competitor.
Industry-Exclusive Battery Management Technology: When battery voltage is low, engines will automatically increase idle rpm to boost alternator output and charge batteries to the proper level, protecting the batteries from draining while trolling and operating electronic devices.
REQUIRED FEE
$560 Dealer Engine Prep - Our factory-qualified technicians perform a full test run of your new outboard by unpacking it and connecting it to the rigging, fuel, battery, and a diagnostic computer. We run the motor up to operating temperature and test every function to make sure your new motor is working just as it should. The manufacturer's required inspection checklist is completed and submitted to the manufacturer to validate the warranty.
Mercury 225XL FAQ
What size boat is the Mercury 225XL for?
A good match for center consoles, bay and flats boats, deck boats, pontoons and runabouts. Always check your boat's capacity plate for its maximum horsepower and weight.
Do I need a short or long shaft?
Measure your transom from the top edge straight down to the bottom of the hull: about 15" calls for a short shaft, 20" for a long shaft, 25" for an extra-long shaft, and 30" for an ultra-long shaft. The 225XL has a 25" extra long shaft. Not sure? Call or text us at (805) 644-6290 and we'll help you choose.
What comes with the 225XL?
Standard features and included items: power trim & tilt, service tool kit & parts, stop switch lanyard, and owner's manual. The propeller is not included.
What do I need to buy separately?
A propeller is sold separately, along with any controls, gauges or rigging your boat needs. We can help you pick the right parts, and our team can rig it for you.
What warranty does it come with?
It's covered by the full Mercury 3-year warranty. See our Brand Warranties page for details, and ask about extended warranties.
Do you offer financing?
