2019 Yamaha 30 HP F30LEHA Outboard Motor

Yamaha's 2019 F30LEHA takes the same 747cc, 30 hp, three-cylinder engine used elsewhere in this family and puts it on a tiller handle with electric start, on a 20-inch shaft, at 223 pounds. Electric start at the tiller Combining tiller control with a key-turn starter means you get the simplicity of steering from the back of the boat without pull-starting a 30 hp engine by hand. The starter motor and battery wiring needed for that convenience are a large part of why this configuration carries more weight than a comparable manual-start tiller motor would. Fitment Check that your boat is rigged for tiller steering rather than console controls, and that the 20-inch shaft matches your transom. A battery still needs to be installed and wired for the starter to function. Engine 747cc, three cylinders, electronic fuel injection. Warm it up gently Let the engine idle for a short stretch before pushing to full throttle, particularly on a cold morning; four-strokes this size circulate oil more slowly when cold, and a brief warm-up protects the bearings far more than it costs you in time on the water. Common questions Does the tiller handle include the ignition switch? Yes, starting and shifting are both at the tiller. Is a battery required? Yes, for the starter to turn the engine over; this unit is new, under Yamaha's standard terms.
