The Mercury Duratec 25 is undersquare — the 3.937" stroke exceeds the 3.5039" bore by 11.0% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.937" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,100 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 38.0 ci (623 cc).
It is one of 11 engines in the Duratec family, sitting between the 122 ci and 213 ci members. 2 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 175 hp across 2010–2011.
