2018 Yamaha F30 Midrange Mechanical 20 F30LA Outboard Motor

Description

The F30LA is built around Yamaha’s 747cc single-overhead-camshaft three-cylinder powerhead, a design that provides compact, lightweight, and space-saving packaging while delivering strong performance . The six-valve, three-cylinder SOHC marine engine delivers superior efficiency in the transfer of intake and exhaust gasses throughout the RPM range .

The Precision Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection system delivers the exact amount of fuel needed for optimum performance and efficiency, with Yamaha’s EFI optimizing fuel atomization further enhancing fuel economy . A vapor-reducing fuel return system works in conjunction with the multi-point EFI to offer dependable turn-key starting in hot or cold conditions .

The single throttle valve ensures the precise amount of air necessary for optimum power and fuel efficiency, routing air through individual long intake tracks that are “pulse tuned” to provide air at the precise volume and timing for maximum density and power .

The Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS) — available with the optional award-winning Multi-Function Tiller handle — allows precision trolling speed adjustments in 50-RPM increments, compatible with all Midrange models . For anglers who fish seriously, this level of low-speed control is invaluable.

The Freshwater Flush Device allows you to flush the engine without running it, for added convenience and extended engine life . The Power Trim and Tilt system provides a trim range of -3° to +20°, bringing the bow of the boat up for better hole shot, top speed, and a smoother ride .

Yamaha’s Phaze Five™ electro-deposited anti-corrosive paint system, combined with their proprietary YDC-30 alloy, provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion — standard on all Yamaha Midrange four-stroke engines . A one-piece cowling with intake air drain system drains water away efficiently, while incoming air is routed through a labyrinth of passages that trap water before it enters the engine’s intake .

The 30 HP midrange outboard segment is competitive, with strong offerings from Mercury 30 FourStroke, Suzuki DF30A, and Honda BF30. Here’s how the F30LA compares on the specifications that matter:

The F30LA’s 747cc displacement is the largest in its class, delivering strong low-end torque for loaded boats . Its 17-amp alternator is the most powerful in this group, providing ample charging capacity for electronics . The Power Trim & Tilt system with a -3° to +20° range offers greater negative trim capability than competitors, improving hole shot and acceleration .

The F30LA is well-suited to a wide range of American boating applications:

• Aluminum fishing boats — the 20″ shaft and electric start make it ideal for serious anglers

• Inflatables and RIBs — 214 lb weight and compact design work well with these hulls

• Center console skiffs — remote mechanical controls for convenient helm operation

• Pontoon boats — the high-torque 747cc powerhead handles heavy loads

The engine features a one-piece cowling with intake air drain system that efficiently drains water away, and Nitro Assist Tilt makes tilting almost effortless . The large on-engine water separating fuel filter with water sensor works in conjunction with Yamaha’s optional 10-Micron Water Separating Fuel Filter to keep contaminants out of your fuel injectors .
