Power Honda BF30D3LRG when a small pontoon, aluminum fishing boat, or recreational hull needs 30 HP with remote mechanical controls and a 20-inch long shaft. Its 552 cc inline three-cylinder SOHC engine uses six valves and produces 30 HP at 6,000 RPM. Honda BF30D3LRG is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with three carburetors, accelerator-pump fuel delivery, electric starting, and gas-assist manual tilt. The 20-inch shaft suits compatible long-transom boats.

The 159-lb dry weight should be considered during transom, trailer, repower, and balance planning. Its 5,700–6,200 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller selection, while the 2.08:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. The 10-amp alternator supplies electrical output for supported navigation equipment, lighting, and pumps. The listed 1.9 L oil capacity should be serviced according to the Honda maintenance schedule.
