Mercury V250 CXL AMS DTS
Mercury V250 CXL AMS DTS is a powerful 250 hp V8 DOHC EFI engine featuring vibration-dampening AMS, smooth Digital Throttle & Shift control, and precise ASC speed control. The engine supports the Joystick Piloting system, which makes it easier to maneuver the boat in tight spaces and when docking. The CXL shaft improves propeller grip and stability in rough water, and the engine is fully SmartCraft-compatible.
Mercury V250 CXL AMS DTS is designed for boaters who value powerful V8 performance, precise handling, and the most enjoyable boating experience possible. The lightweight and modern V8 DOHC design, combined with the linear power delivery of precise EFI fuel injection, produces strong torque and immediate throttle response, making the engine an excellent choice for medium-sized and large boats. The large 4.6-liter V8 block handles the load effortlessly and delivers consistent performance even over long distances and in demanding conditions.
The engine’s AMS (Advanced MidSection) significantly reduces vibration and noise, and the internal damping of the engine compartment completes the quiet running sound. The result is a smooth and pleasant driving experience, which is particularly noticeable during cruising and in rough seas. The electronic DTS (Digital Throttle & Shift) system provides instantaneous and precise control without mechanical cables, making gear changes smooth and virtually silent.
The engine supports the Joystick Piloting system, which makes maneuvering the boat in tight spaces exceptionally easy. The SmartCraft system’s precise steering enables accurate control even at low speeds, making docking and harbor maneuvers easier. Electric steering, available on multi-engine configurations, further improves handling and responsiveness, and the system consumes less than half the electrical power compared to electro-hydraulic solutions.
ASC (Adaptive Speed Control) automatically maintains engine RPM as load and conditions change, making rough-water driving easier, cruising smoother, and tight turns effortless. The CXL’s 25-inch length provides strong propeller grip and stability, and the engine is fully SmartCraft-compatible for real-time monitoring of performance, fuel consumption, and engine status.
