Mercury 225HP XXL FourStroke Outboard DTS

Add the DTS tag to Mercury's 225 HP XXL FourStroke and the underlying spec sheet stays the same: a 475-lb, V-6 block on the 30-inch shaft option, started electrically and trimmed by a powered system rather than a hand lever.

Specification shared with the line

Full throttle runs 5200-6000 RPM on this 3.4 displacement, EFI V-6. Weight is 475 lbs, and the shaft is the 30-inch XXL length, matched to larger transoms than the standard long-shaft motors in this catalog.

What the DTS tag covers

Because the listing's own spec fields describe the control hardware only in general terms, confirm the exact steering and throttle setup for this DTS unit against the spec table on this page rather than assuming it matches a non-DTS motor of the same horsepower. Buyers comparing this unit against the plain 225 XXL in the same catalog should treat the printed spec table, not either product's marketing copy, as the deciding reference.

Inclusions and condition

Mounting hardware, a tool kit, and the owner's manual round out the crate; a propeller does not ship with this unit, so plan to source one separately. This DTS motor is sold new, and Mercury Marine lists a 3-year warranty term for it. Confirm your transom height against the 30-inch shaft before ordering, since the XXL length is built for larger boats than Mercury's long-shaft FourStroke motors.

Common questions

Is a propeller part of the box contents? No, source one separately.

Is this new? Yes.
