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

The 155-lb dry weight should be included in transom, trailer, battery, and balance calculations. Its 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 fish finders, navigation lights, pumps, and other accessories. The listed 1.9 L oil capacity should be serviced according to the Honda maintenance schedule.
