2013 Mercury 25 HP 4-Stroke 25″ Shaft

This used 2013 Mercury 25 HP 4-Stroke carries a 25 inch shaft, electronic fuel injection, and only 283 recorded hours, a lower-hour option for repowering a small boat with a mid-range four-stroke.

What this unit offers

It is a 4 cylinder, 25 hp four-stroke, model 523, with a compression reading of 207 and 283 hours on the clock. Electric start, power trim and tilt, and remote control type are included, so it suits a console set up for remote steering rather than a tiller handle. Dry weight is 157 lbs (71 kg), and shipping weight is listed at 164 lbs.

Condition and what to check

It is sold used, described as like new, never repainted, and runs well by the seller's account; the unit has been gone over and comes ready to bolt on and start, with controls included. Confirm the 25 inch shaft matches your transom height before ordering, since that measurement cannot change once the motor ships. A documented compression number alongside a relatively low hour count for a 2013 unit can help you judge remaining service life against a higher-hour example of the same age and model.

A midrange four-stroke in this size class suits a pontoon, a center console, or a small fishing boat better than a larger V6, since weight at the transom stays manageable while still giving enough push for a loaded boat.

What year is this motor? 2013.

How many hours does it have? 283 hours.
