In the yesteryears of outboards, compression readings of 150 - 180 lbs were common. Today, for 2 stroke models, readings of 110 - 130 are average. Basicly, anything over 100 psi is good, with no more than 15 psi variance between the highest, and the lowest cylinder readings.
Normal compression for a 25 hp 2-stroke Mercury outboard engine typically ranges between 90 to 130 psi per cylinder, depending on the specific model and its condition. It's important to ensure that both cylinders have similar compression readings for optimal performance. If compression is significantly lower in one cylinder compared to the other, it may indicate issues such as worn rings or a blown head gasket. Regular maintenance and checks can help maintain proper compression levels.

Just did compression test on mine and the normal seems to be 160 -180

100 psi to 140 psi.
My truck runs about 140 psi, but was rebilt recently. 120psi is normal for a truck with normal wear.
The normal water temperature for a Mercury XR2 outboard typically ranges between 140°F to 160°F (60°C to 71°C). Maintaining this temperature is important for optimal engine performance and longevity. Operating outside of this range can indicate issues such as cooling system problems or overheating. Always consult the owner's manual for specific guidelines related to your model.
Anywhere from 80, up to 180, depending on ther compression ration, effective compression ratio, and how many miles on the motor. Lower than about 80, is getting low. Also, you are looking for a cylinder that is really low, compared to the rest. 30 lbs., or more, lower. This would indicate a dead cylinder.
A box compression tester is a machine that measures the size and quality of boxes. It uses a variety of techniques to test the strength, durability, and compression of boxes. The box compression tester can also be used to test the strength and compression of packaging materials. Most manufacturers use this type of machine to test the quality of the boxes they use to ship their products.
The lowest reading cylinder should not be less than 70% of the highest and no cylinder reading should be less than 689 kPa (100 psi). Perform compression test with engine at normal operating temperature, spark plugs removed and throttle wide open
