Description
This scratch and dent Yamaha F30LA is a 30hp four-stroke outboard with remote mechanical controls, electric start, power trim and tilt, and a 20" long shaft, weighing 214 lbs. A good match for skiffs, jon boats, inflatables, small pontoons and aluminum fishing boats. It's new and unused, and as an authorized Yamaha dealer, Boat Specialists sells it with the full Yamaha 3-year factory warranty, after our factory-qualified technicians test-run it.
Yamaha's 30hp Midrange four-strokes are small, light and powerful. The 747cc three-cylinder SOHC engine with electronic fuel injection delivers quick starts, responsive power, quiet operation and good fuel efficiency.
Yamaha F30LA Key Features
Control and Comfort: Yamaha's optional, award-winning Multi-Function Tiller handle features a Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS). It allows for precision trolling speed adjustments in 50-RPM increments. Compatible with all Midrange models.
Easy Engine Flushing: A Freshwater Flush Device allows you to flush the engine without running it, for added convenience and extended engine life.
Power Trim and Tilt: Power trim and tilt models provide a trim range of -3 up to +20 degrees. This brings the bow of the boat up, for better hole shot and top speed and a smoother ride.
Reliability and Durability: Combined with Yamaha's proprietary alloy (YDC-30), their exclusive Phaze Five™ anti-corrosive paint system provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion. This protection is standard on all Yamaha Midrange four-stroke engines.
