Evinrude E30DRS E-TEC Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E30DRS stands apart for a shorter 15 in (381 mm) shaft rather than the standard length used elsewhere in this range, and for being the lightest 30 HP configuration here at 150 lbs (68 kg). It is tiller-steered with rope starting as standard. Why a short shaft changes the fit A 15 in shaft generally suits a lower transom than the more common length, so measure yours carefully before ordering; the wrong shaft length puts the propeller too high or too low no matter how good the rest of the rigging is. Remote steering and electric start are listed as available conversions over the tiller, rope-start base, and tilt is manual rather than powered on this configuration. What else to confirm Because this is a used, lighter-weight motor, ask about hours and any lower-unit service before ordering, and double check the short shaft truly matches your boat. Check the prop shaft for fishing line wrapped behind the seal, a common, overlooked cause of leaks on used outboards. If you are buying this to replace a motor that failed, compare the mounting bolt pattern first, since not every outboard bolts to the same holes exactly. What shaft length is this motor? 15 in (381 mm), shorter than the standard length in this range. Is it new? No, it is used; confirm hours with us.
