Engineered to produce a broad powerband and class-leading top-end horsepower, the V8 250R outboard has the muscle to lift a heavy tournament boat out of the hole plus the deep-breathing power and high-performance components required to reach unprecedented speeds with confidence.
 
Mercury Racing has tuned the V8 250R outboard model to produce the perfect combination of low-end muscle and high-winding horsepower. A performance-tuned intake runner helps pack more air through the deep-breathing 32-valve dual overhead cam valve train to squeeze more power from the 4.6L V8 engine. Mercury Transient Spark Technology optimizes torque output for stronger hole-shot performance.
 
The Mercury Racing V8 250R delivers a reliable, powerful performance punch on readily available 87-octane fuel. Enhance high-speed control and all-around comfort with optional Mercury power steering. Smooth and precise electronically actuated throttle and shifting matched to manual controls eases repower installations and enables easier application of a foot throttle.
 
Strong and rock-steady, the Mercury Racing Tri-Ram midsection features solid lower engine mounts and a high-durometer upper mount for enhanced stability and handling at high speeds, critical for confident control in the fastest single-engine applications. The race-proven Sport Master surface-piercing gearcase is designed specifically for speeds greater than 85 mph and features low water pickups and a crescent leading edge to maximize efficiency and velocity. A selection of Mercury Racing propellers are available to dial in performance.
