2018 Evinrude E-TEC G2 225 H.O. E225X Outboard Motor

Model code E225X is a 225 HP V6 within Evinrude's G2 High Output range, listed with remote, integrated hydraulic steering alongside dynamic power steering, on top of an i-Trim system.

Numbers behind this V6

Bore and stroke measure 98 by 76 millimeters for a displacement of 3441 cc on a 25-inch shaft, climbing as high as 6,000 RPM from a 5,400 RPM floor through a 1.85:1 gear ratio. Integrated digital shift and throttle stand in place of mechanical cable on this build.

Trim window and rigging to confirm

Trim here moves across -6 degrees to 15, and a separate 81-degree range governs tilt. Check that your boat's rigging supports integrated digital shift and throttle at this 25-inch shaft length before ordering, since mechanical cable will not connect to it.

Power supply and coverage

A 2-gallon on-engine tank feeds this V6, and the charging system is built around 133 amps total, 50 of which are net dedicated with 14 more on tap at idle. The listed steering angle runs plus or minus 32 degrees. Slate gray and new, this unit weighs 558 pounds dry. Its warranty pairs 5 years of engine coverage with 5 years against corrosion, and BRP contributes a 3-year limited warranty on top of that, plus another 2 years of extended coverage, with scheduled maintenance first due at 500 hours or 5 years, whichever comes first.

Does the steering add a separate hydraulic system? As listed here, yes, remote integrated hydraulic steering sits alongside dynamic power steering.
