Mercury 225HP CXL FourStroke Outboard

A boat running cable steering rather than a digital console is the right match for this new Mercury 225HP CXL FourStroke, a 25 inch extra-long shaft V6 with Remote Mechanical controls. Key specifications Displacement is 3.4 liters, full throttle rpm falls between 5200 and 6000, and dry weight comes in at 475 lbs. Power trim and tilt handle adjustment on the water, and counter rotation is available for a twin-engine install. Fit, rigging, and what ships with it Remote Mechanical is the control type here, meaning the helm runs a physical cable instead of a digital signal, so check your current wiring before ordering rather than assuming any CXL in this family drops straight in. The purchase comes with Mercury's standard three-year factory coverage, a printed owner's manual, hardware for mounting, and a basic tool kit in the carton. A propeller is sold separately and should be matched to your hull and gear ratio. Shaft length cannot be adjusted after delivery, so confirm your transom measures 25 inches before you commit to the extra-long version rather than guessing from the horsepower rating alone. New engines like this one suit buyers who want a factory break-in schedule and full documentation from day one rather than taking on an unknown service history. Does a propeller come with it? No, order one separately for your boat. Can this run counter rotation? Yes, counter rotation is available on this model. Mercury outboards
