Mercury 225 HP Verado 6 Cylinder – When Mercury set out to engineer the perfect outboard engine, we questioned everything: every number, every scenario, every detail. The result? Verado®, the world's most reliable and advanced propulsion system. The six-cylinder Verado delivers an amazing driving experience, superior reliability, jaw-dropping power and acceleration, and the quietest, smoothest ride ever produced by an outboard.

Every Verado in the range is built on one solid principle. To create a motor that is tough from top to bottom. With supercharged power in every Verado, the torque produced by the engine is nothing short of incredible. With greater torque through the entire rev range you receive awesome acceleration as well as being able to keep a heavily loaded boat on plane at slower speeds, and climb larger waves.
