Mercury 225HP CXL FourStroke Outboard DTS White

Three white finishes are offered on this one: pearl fusion, cold fusion, and warm fusion. Underneath the paint it is the 25 inch, Digital Throttle Shift 225 hp V6 FourStroke in the CXL trim.

Specifications

At 3.4 liters of displacement, this V6 spins to a top end of 5200-6000 rpm and weighs 475 lbs dry. Power trim and tilt plus counter rotation, which is available, round out the rigging on this trim.

Picking a finish and checking fit

DTS controls mean the helm has to be digital-ready, not set up for a mechanical cable. Three years of factory warranty coverage comes with it, along with a boxed owner's manual, the mounting hardware, and a small tool kit; a propeller is priced separately to suit your boat. Pick whichever of the three white tones matches your hull, and double-check the 25 inch shaft against your transom height before ordering, since the wrong shaft length is the most common fitment mistake on a repower.

Buyers set on DTS but undecided on color can treat the finish choice as purely cosmetic here, since all three white options sit on the identical 25 inch, digitally controlled CXL drivetrain described above. Whichever tone you pick, the console wiring and shaft measurement requirements described earlier stay exactly the same.

What color choices are there? Pearl fusion white, cold fusion white, or warm fusion white.

Is a propeller included? No, it is sold separately.
