Mercury 30HP ELPT FourStroke Outboard

Built for remote steering rather than a tiller, the new Mercury 30HP ELPT FourStroke pairs power trim and tilt with a 20-inch shaft on the same 30 hp inline-3 block used throughout this family. It weighs 172 lbs dry and tops out near 5250-6250 rpm at full throttle.

Remote steering means separate controls

There is no tiller arm on this version, so you will need to add a remote control box and a steering kit sized for your helm; neither ships with the powerhead, unlike the tiller models in the same family. Measure your existing cable runs before ordering, since console-mounted controls vary in reach from boat to boat, and getting it wrong means re-rigging after delivery.

Equipment that comes with it

This motor arrives with the 6.6-gallon tank already wired for quick-connect fuel, plus mounting hardware, a tool kit, and the owner's manual. Propellers are sold on their own, so you can match one to your boat and the loads it typically carries.

Does this version include a tiller handle? No, steering is console-style and remote only.

What's the warranty term? Mercury Marine's standard 3-year warranty, with no extended coverage mentioned here.

Being new, it ships with no hours logged and complete factory coverage from commissioning onward. Have a rigger confirm cable length and mounting before the first trip out.
