2018 Evinrude E-TEC 30 HP E30DRSL Outboard Motor

The 2018 Evinrude E30DRSL pairs the longer 20-inch shaft with starting and trim that are both entirely manual, a 30 HP build for taller transoms that still skips the starter motor and trim hardware.

Why the dry weight lands where it does

Dry weight runs to 154.32 pounds, matching an electric-start sibling at this same shaft length, since the longer shaft housing itself accounts for a share of that figure even though this version drops the starter and trim motor entirely. The two-cylinder block's bore and stroke come to 2.992 by 2.5 inches for 577 cc, geared at 2.15:1.

Hands-on operation

No battery to maintain here, since starting is by cord, and running angle is set by hand rather than a switch. RPM at full throttle runs from 5,500 up near 6,000. Fuel runs 87-octane unleaded gas, lubricated on Evinrude/Johnson XD-100 oil, with a 56-amp alternator, 15 net dedicated, and a saltwater rating.

Condition

This E30DRSL is new, built for buyers who want the taller shaft without taking on powered starting or trim hardware at all, and it carries a saltwater rating alongside water cooling, like the rest of this lineup. Is starting electric on this build? No, by rope only. What shaft length does it need? 20 inches. What's the dry weight? 154.32 pounds.
