Mercury 250CXL 250HP DTS V8 Counter 25″ Outboard Motor
Description
Mercury 250HP 250CXL DTS V8 Counter Extra Long
Featuring a 4.6L V8 engine family, the Mercury 250HP 250CXL serves as a high-torque solution for US offshore boaters requiring a prop-rated propulsion unit with superior thermal stability. This 250HP four-stroke technology utilizes a counter-rotating gearcase architecture to maximize mechanical efficiency and eliminate steering torque for multi-engine offshore configurations. The 25-inch extra-long shaft design provides an optimized center of gravity for deep-V hulls, while the Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) ensures immediate, reliable ignition across diverse marine environments.
Operational longevity of the 250CXL model is secured through a specialized pressurized lubrication system featuring a maintenance-free valve train to maintain internal cleanliness. To facilitate easy after-storage starts, the unit employs a vapor-free multi-port EFI system paired with an 85A alternator for accessory maintenance, while the Mercury XK360 alloy science utilizes a multi-layer finish to mitigate oxidation in high-salinity waters. With a 3-year/300-hour service interval and NMEA 2000 data compatibility, this fuel-efficient outboard provides superior ownership value for boaters seeking professional-grade displacement and refined multi-engine control.
