Evinrude E30DRSL E-TEC Outboard Motor

This used Evinrude E30DRSL carries the standard-length shaft for this class, 20 in (508 mm), as the counterpart to the short-shaft version offered elsewhere in this range. This 30 HP E-TEC pairs that standard shaft with tiller steering, rope starting, and manual tilt.

Standard length versus a shorter shaft

If your transom sits at a typical height for this size of boat, a 20 in shaft is usually the one to choose; a shorter shaft is meant for a notably lower transom instead. Measure before ordering so you know which your boat actually needs rather than assuming, since the two shaft lengths offered in this range are not interchangeable once installed.

Rigging and weight

Weighing 154 lbs, it carries tiller steering, rope starting, and manual tilt as standard, with remote and electric start available as conversions.

A used motor's wiring harness is worth a visual check for chafing, particularly where it routes near the transom bracket.

A used motor that idles roughly when cold but smooths out once warm is behaving normally for this type of two-stroke design.

Ask whether the motor's throttle friction screw holds a set RPM without creeping, something worth checking during any test run before you decide to buy.

What shaft length does this have? 20 in (508 mm), the standard length for this motor.
