Mercury F225 DS 225HP Long Shaft Outboard Engine Used

The Mercury F225 occupies a high position in Mercury’s V6 lineup, delivering 225HP in the compact 3.4L platform. This engine is a favorite among offshore fishermen and performance boaters because it offers best-in-class power-to-weight – about 225HP at ~223 kg (XL shaft). Thanks to Adaptive Speed Control, even in sharp waves or turns, the engine maintains RPM and the boat doesn’t lose speed. The Mercury F225 comes standard with Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS), providing silky smooth gear changes and precise synchronization in multi-engine setups. Unlike some competitors, this Mercury doesn’t require premium fuel – it’s optimized to run on 92 RON regular unleaded without performance loss.

Mercury has invested countless hours into engineering the 175 to 225hp family of fourstroke outboards, so you do not have to give it a second thought. A 3.4L V6 powerhead delivers unmatched performance and reliability, while a vibration-dampening design ensures a quiet, comfortable boating experience. Fourstroke outboards are easy to own, fun to drive and ready to explore.

The Advanced Range Optimization (ARO) system is at work here as well, squeezing out fuel savings at cruise, and the high-output 85A alternator ensures plenty of power for all onboard electronics. The Mercury F225 can be fitted with Joystick Piloting as part of a multi-engine setup – greatly simplifying docking maneuvers. The innovative engine design features dual-stage noise reduction, making it one of the quietest V6s in the industry. With the Mercury F225, your 8–9 meter boat gains impressive power for fast runs to far-off spots and enough reserve to handle heavy loads or rough weather.

Intuitive, innovative features

Adaptive Speed Control
The Adaptive Speed Control feature lets you maintain engine rpm despite changes in load or conditions. Climbing large swells is easier. Cruising at low speeds is smoother. Carving out tight turns is effortless.

Mercury V6 fourstroke outboards deliver a smoother, quieter ride than any competing outboard, at any speed.

Easy to maintain
The exclusive top cowl service door simplifies routine maintenance, letting you check or add engine oil without removing the top cowl. An hour-based maintenance schedule decal is located under the cowl, providing a quick overview of routine maintenance.

Ample charging output
A powerful alternator delivers 85 amps of charging power at wide-open throttle - perfect for keeping onboard electronics running long into the fun.

Industry-exclusive battery management technology
When the battery voltage is low, the engine will automatically increase idle rpm to boost alternator output and charge batteries to the proper level.

Fourstroke performance data

Quick acceleration
The high-displacement, quad-cam design of the V6 fourstroke powerhead generates serious torque, especially at mid-range, for quick acceleration and exciting speeds.

Superior fuel economy
A host of efficiency-enhancing features such as Advanced Range Optimization (ARO), a closed-loop fuel system and a hydrodynamic gearcase optimise fuel economy so you can go farther on every tank.

Exceptionally smooth and quiet
The V6 200hp fourstroke outboard is 30% quieter with 50% less transmitted vibration than the leading four-stroke competitor.
