Support Honda BF30D3SRT when a short-transom sport boat or aluminum skiff needs 30 HP, remote steering, and Power Trim & Tilt. Its 552 cc inline three-cylinder SOHC engine uses six valves and produces 30 HP at 6,000 RPM. Honda BF30D3SRT is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with three carburetors, accelerator-pump fuel delivery, electric starting, remote mechanical controls, and a 15-inch short shaft. The short-shaft configuration suits compatible lower transoms.

The 155-lb dry weight should be included in transom, trailer, and balance calculations before installation. The 5,700–6,200 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller setup, while the 2.08:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. The 10-amp alternator supplies output for supported navigation equipment, lighting, and pumps. The listed 1.9 L oil capacity should be used with the Honda maintenance schedule.
