Mercury 250HP XL FourStroke Outboard White

This white Mercury 250HP XL keeps remote mechanical steering and a standard gearcase. For buyers who want a color choice, it comes in three white finishes: pearl fusion, cold fusion, and warm fusion.

What sets this apart from a counter-rotating version

Nothing in this listing points to a counter-rotation option. Treat this as the standard-rotation pick at this shaft length; confirm with us first if your rig specifically calls for a counter-rotating unit.

Color and specification

Mechanically this remains the same remote-mechanical V-8. Mercury's displacement rating here is 4.6. The listed dry weight is 527 lbs. Full throttle is rated 5200 to 6000 RPM here. Mercury's standard package is a tool kit, the manual, and mounting hardware.

Q: Does color affect spec? No, all three finishes sit on the same XL platform.

Propellers are not bundled and should be chosen to match your boat. Standard gear here includes power trim and tilt plus EFI. A 3-year factory warranty from Mercury Marine is included. Take photos of your current rigging before removing an old motor, in case you need them later. They make comparing old and new setups much easier. A boat's prior rigging history is useful context when choosing between similar shaft and control configurations. Spec sheets are a starting point; a tape measure is the final word on fitment.

A rigger can confirm whether your existing helm hardware already suits a remote-mechanical motor like this one.
