## Brief Summary

The 2013 Evinrude E-TEC 250 H.O. got its H.O. designation for being “high output.” We thought that may have been just talk, but our tests show differently. We ran it on the back of three different pontoon boats ranging in weight from 3,566 lbs (1,618 kg) to 5,548 lbs (2,517 kg) and they all performed within 2.3 mph and ¼ gph of each other at WOT with varying loads. It looks like the “H.O.” really means what it says. Possibly more important, is the fact that the Evinrude E-TEC 250 H.O. engine has some upgraded components from the standard 250.  
  
The Evinrude 250 H.O is available in several different types: DHL, DHX and HSL. The information on this page represents the DHL type unless specified.-->

## Key Features

- **High Performance Gearcase**  Every 250 H.O. engine features Evinrude's advance lightning gearcase.
- **H.O. SERIES**  Evinrude E-TEC High Output Outboards push them as far as they can go – or the industry recommends. Each engine is tuned for extra power and speed.
- **No Maintenance for 3 years / 300 hours** No inspections or adjustments, no changing gearcase lube, no spring tune-ups.
- **Fewer parts** 195 fewer than a four-stroke. No valves, belts, camshafts or pulleys to adjust or replace.
- **No oil changes** A four-stroke gets one every six months or 100 hours – 60 if you’re doing heavy trolling.
- **3-year, 300-hour spark plugs**  Advanced iridium plugs – featuring a longer, more efficient spark.
- **Auto storage** The engine fogs itself automatically in minutes, with no trip to the dealer. So easy, you can do it any time.
- **Instant throttle response** Not just select points. The key is that every revolution is a power stroke. That means twice the power strokes of a four stroke.
- **Less fuel** The engine management system makes more than 8 million calculations per second. You get the precise amount of fuel you need at any given rpm.
