Mercury Outboard Motor 2023: A Review of Power, Technology and Efficiency
The scope of marine engine technology has been shaped and defined by significant industry players over the years, of which Mercury Outboard Motors stand as a monumental pillar. Their latest entrant into the 225 - 350 horsepower category, the 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor 12500017A 250CXL FourStroke DTS 5.44" 1.75, is the epitome of power, durability, and innovation blended into an impeccable design.
Engine and Performance
The hallmark of this outboard motor lies in its top-notch engine performance. Operating at 250 HP or 186 kW, the V8 engine yields a power output necessary to propel even the largest marine vessels with ease. With a displacement rate of 279 CID or 4.6L, the engine ensures substantial torque and acceleration.
Featuring a V-8 cylinder configuration with Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) and 32-valves, the 250CXL guarantees an efficient combustion process optimised for both power generation and fuel economy. A full throttle RPM range of 5200-6000 ensures flexibility in throttle responses and improve overall engine life.
Fuel Induction and Air Induction Systems
The engine’s performance is further enhanced with the Performance-Tuned Long-Runner Intake Manifold for air induction and an Electronic Fuel Injection system that is computer controlled with Advanced Range Optimization. These configurations help to maximize fuel efficiency and performance.
SmartCraft Technology
One notable feature of the 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor is its compatibility with SmartCraft digital technology. The SmartCraft Engine Guardian acts as a protective system, detecting potential issues in the engine and preventing catastrophic damage. The ignition system also adopts SmartCraft PCM 112 Digital Inductive technology, offering reliable starts and operation.
Design Features
Designed with practicality in mind, the 250CXL provides a range of options for controls and steering, including Remote Mechanical or Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS). The gearcase ratio stands at 1.75:1, maximizing forward thrust for better speed and performance.
While maintaining a relatively lightweight construction at 527 lbs, the engine incorporates powerful trim and tilt system, providing the boater with precise control over the vessel’s angle and height above the water.

Last but not least, Mercury is aware of its environmental responsibilities. The 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor 12500017A 250CXL FourStroke DTS 5.44" 1.75 achieves a 3-star CARB rating, indicating its reduced emissions and increased fuel efficiency.

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
