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

The listed 159-lb dry weight should be included in transom, trailer, battery, and boat-balance calculations. Its 5,700–6,200 RPM full-throttle range helps guide 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 engine oil capacity is 1.9 L, with gearcase lubricant, spark plug, carburetor, and cooling-system service following the Honda maintenance schedule.
