Place Honda BF30D3LRT on a 20-inch-transom boat when remote mechanical control and Power Trim & Tilt are more important than a tiller-only layout. Its 552 cc inline three-cylinder SOHC engine produces 30 HP at 6,000 RPM and uses three carburetors with accelerator pumps. Honda BF30D3LRT is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with electric starting, remote helm controls, and a 20-inch long shaft. The configuration is intended for compatible standard-transom boats.

At 160 lbs dry, the motor should be included in the boat’s transom and repower calculations. The 5,700–6,200 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection, while the 2.08:1 gear ratio supports forward, neutral, and reverse operation. Power Trim & Tilt lets the operator change the engine angle from compatible controls during acceleration, cruising, docking, and trailering. The listed 1.9 L oil capacity provides a reference for routine engine-oil service.
