PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This 2017 Mercury 250 HP Pro XS OptiMax is a high-performance 2-stroke outboard with only 151 hours and strong, even compression readings of 110–115 PSI across all six cylinders.

The engine is equipped with the performance-oriented Torque Master II lower unit, which has been pressure tested to 13 PSI and held pressure. Idle air pressure is reported at 99 PSI.

This 250 Pro XS features Mercury's proven 3.0-liter V6 direct-fuel-injection (DFI) 2-stroke platform, producing 250 HP with strong acceleration and performance for bass, tournament, offshore, and other high-performance applications. Mercury's 2017 specifications list the 250 Pro XS/OptiMax platform as a 3.0L V6 with a 1.75:1 gear ratio and 20" or 25" shaft configurations.

With only 151 hours and excellent cylinder-to-cylinder compression consistency, this is an attractive option for a performance-oriented repower.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

The Mercury 250 Pro XS was designed for boaters who want serious performance without moving to a modern four-stroke platform. The 3.0L V6 OptiMax/DFI architecture provides strong acceleration and performance, while the Pro XS configuration and Torque Master gearcase are particularly well suited to performance and tournament applications.

At only 151 hours, with compression readings of 110–115 PSI across all cylinders, this engine offers an especially attractive combination of relatively low hours and even cylinder readings.
