2018 Evinrude E-TEC G2 225 H.O. E225XH Outboard Motor

Model code E225XH carries the same 225 HP V6 displacement as its G2 sibling, within Evinrude's High Output series, and is specified here with dynamic power steering rather than a separately named hydraulic add-on.

What this High Output listing specifies

Displacement comes to 3441 cc from a 98 by 76 millimeter bore and stroke on a 25-inch shaft, with RPM running from 5,400 up to 6,000 through a 1.85:1 ratio and integrated digital shift and throttle replacing mechanical cable.

Trim, steering, and rigging to confirm

Between -6 and 15 degrees is the trim window on this engine, and tilt is handled separately out to 81 degrees. Dynamic power steering here carries a plus-or-minus 32 degree rating, worth checking against your current helm setup before ordering.

Power supply and coverage

This V6 draws from a 2-gallon on-engine tank and an alternator good for 133 amps, of which 50 are net dedicated and a further 14 sit on tap at idle. This unit is new, slate gray, and weighs 558 pounds dry. The warranty covers the engine for 5 years and corrosion for another 5, and BRP's own terms add 3 years of limited coverage plus 2 years extended, with the first dealer-scheduled service point at 500 hours or 5 years.

How is steering described on this listing? Dynamic power steering rated to 32 degrees, without a separately named hydraulic system attached.
