Evinrude E30DRGL E-TEC Outboard Motor

Tiller steering, a rope-pull start, and manual tilt define this used Evinrude E30DRGL, a 30 HP two-cylinder E-TEC. What tiller and rope mean day to day Hand steering at the motor and a pull-cord start keep the rigging simple: no helm cables, no battery requirement, and nothing powered to maintain for trim. Upgrading to a wheel at the console or adding a key-start option is possible down the line, since both show up as optional conversions over this base, should you later decide you want either feature on this 30 HP motor once you have owned it a while. Size to note Weight lands at 154 lbs on a 20 in shaft, figures worth comparing against your current rigging before you buy. Ask about the hours on this particular motor rather than relying on the model year alone, since usage varies widely between owners. Ask whether this motor's serial number plate is still legible, since a worn plate can complicate registration or insurance paperwork down the line. A used motor's shift lever and detent plate wear gradually; if shifting feels loose or vague, budget for that adjustment separately from anything else you check on this unit. Does it have remote steering standard? No, it is listed as an available conversion over the tiller base. Is this a new motor? No, the E30DRGL is sold used.
