Mercury 30HP Elhga FourStroke Outboard

This new Mercury 30HP ELHGA FourStroke is a tiller-steered, electric-start inline-3 with gas-assist trim on a 20-inch shaft, built for small boats steered by hand instead of from a console. Dry weight is 172 lbs, and displacement runs to 32.1 cubic inches.

Equipment that ships with the engine

Mounting hardware, a tool kit, an owner's manual, and a 6.6-gallon fuel tank complete with its own quick-connect hose all come with this motor out of the box. A propeller is sold on its own, so budget for one to match your gearing and hull.

Performance notes

The inline-3 runs up to a 5250-6250 rpm full-throttle range, and gas-assist trim relies on a manual spring lift rather than an electric system, which keeps the tiller setup uncomplicated. Mercury Marine's standard 3-year warranty applies, with no extended plan mentioned on this listing.

Is a fuel tank included? Yes, a 6.6-gallon tank with a quick-connect line ships with it.

What type of starter does it use? Electric start, operated right from the tiller handle.

Since it is sold new, there are no prior hours to consider, and full factory coverage begins the moment it is commissioned. Keep the battery connections clean and tight, since electric start on a tiller boat depends on a solid link to the starter.
