Mercury 25 HP EFI 2024: Three Cylinders, No Battery Required
The 2024 Mercury 25 HP EFI FourStroke combines a 500cc three-cylinder with battery-free EFI — full electronic fuel injection that starts instantly on pull-start models with no battery installed. Triple-cylinder balance runs smoother than any twin, the multi-function tiller keeps control one-handed, and F-N-R gearing plus manual/electric start, tiller/remote, and power trim options rig it for any hull. With no-spill oil changes and a maintenance-free valve train, it’s a class leader in the 25HP outboard class.
