Mercury 250HP CXL FourStroke Outboard DTS White

For buyers matching color to the hull, this Mercury 250HP CXL DTS is available in pearl fusion white, warm fusion white, or cold fusion white. It is built on the CXL's usual 25-inch shaft, with counter rotation available.

Picking a finish

Name the exact finish you want at order time rather than simply asking for "white," since the three options are distinct cosmetic choices on the same underlying motor.

Mechanical specification

Whichever finish is chosen, this remains the same V-8, with a 25-inch shaft and electric start. Mercury lists dry weight at 527 lbs. RPM at full throttle falls between 5200 and 6000. Mercury rates displacement at 4.6. Counter rotation is available for a twin-engine pairing, and digital throttle and shift replaces cable steering with electronic helm inputs.

Q: Does the finish change performance? No, color is a cosmetic option on the same platform.

Expect mounting hardware, a tool kit, and the printed manual in the crate. No propeller ships with it, so plan to source one separately. Standard equipment here includes EFI and power trim and tilt. A 3-year Mercury Marine warranty applies to this new unit. Keep the original packaging and documentation until the motor is mounted and tested on the water. It makes any post-delivery question easier to resolve. Engine weight affects stern trim on a boat, so a shift between shaft lengths or control types can change how a boat sits at rest. Steering type is worth confirming with your rigger before the motor ships, not after.
