Mercury 225HP XXL FourStroke Outboard DTS White

Pearl fusion white, cold fusion, or warm fusion: three finish choices set this 225 HP XXL FourStroke apart before you even start the motor, all on the DTS-tagged, 475-lb V-6 with the 30-inch shaft, electric start, and powered trim and tilt.

Core specification

Full throttle runs 5200-6000 RPM on the 3.4 displacement, EFI block. At 475 lbs on the XXL, 30-inch shaft, it is built for the same larger-transom boats as the rest of this 225HP FourStroke line, with the DTS tag and a color option added on top of the standard spec sheet.

Color and fit

Confirm which of the three finishes applies to the specific unit you are buying, since the listing names all of them as options rather than a single default. As with the other XXL motors in this lineup, no propeller is part of the package, so plan for one separately, and check the 30-inch shaft against your transom height before ordering. Remote mechanical steering also means you will want the matching helm hardware already installed rather than a tiller arm at the motor.
