2014 Mercury 250 HP Optimax Pro XS 2-Stroke 25″ Shaft

This used 2014 Mercury 250 HP Optimax Pro XS is a direct-injected 2-stroke on a 25 inch shaft with only 85 hours logged, a performance option for buyers who want a two-stroke rather than a four-stroke repower.

What you're getting

With 85 hours of use, never repainted, and described by the seller as running well, it includes electric start, power trim, and a remote control model, so it is built for a standard remote console rather than tiller steering. The seller says it has been gone over and is ready to bolt on and run, with controls included.

Things to check before buying

Confirm the 25 inch shaft matches your transom height, since a performance two-stroke like this is usually paired with a specific hull and running surface rather than a general-purpose fit. As a 2-stroke, it needs oil injection matched to Mercury's Optimax specification rather than a standard four-stroke oil fill, so confirm your boat's oil delivery setup before installing it. At 85 hours, it has seen comparatively light use for a 2014 motor of this output.

A direct-injected two-stroke like this one tends to suit boaters who already run Optimax or similar two-stroke outboards and want to stick with a familiar oil-injection routine rather than switch families at repower time.

How many hours are on this engine? 85 hours.

Is this a two-stroke or four-stroke? A 2-stroke, the Optimax Pro XS.
