Details & Inspection Notes
The 2018 Evinrude E30DRS shares its 149.91-pound dry weight with a rope-start, manual-trim sibling, both on the short 15-inch shaft of this 30 HP line, built for buyers prioritizing simplicity.
Specifications on the rope-start build
Bore comes to 2.992 inches and stroke to 2.5 inches on this two-cylinder E-TEC, for a total of 577 cc, shifting through a 2.15:1 gear ratio with RPM climbing from 5,500 up near 6,000 at full throttle. Both starting and trim are handled entirely by hand, by cord and by lever, with no powered hardware involved at all.
Fitment and fluids to check
A transom suited to a 15-inch shaft is what this build is sized for, so measure before ordering rather than assuming the mounting bracket on hand will fit without checking. Fuel is 87-octane unleaded gas, and Evinrude/Johnson XD-100 is the recommended oil. The alternator reserves 15 of its 56 total amps net dedicated, cooling runs on raw water, and the engine carries a saltwater rating.
Condition
This is a new E30DRS, not used or refurbished, and it ships as the bare powerhead and controls rather than bundled with a boat, battery, or steering cable, leaving rigging choices entirely to the buyer. What's the dry weight? 149.91 pounds. Can it be run offshore? It is rated for saltwater use.
