The Mercury 30ELHGA is a compact, lightweight four-stroke outboard motor designed for small to medium boats such as aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, inflatables, and small cruisers up to 16-18 feet. Featuring a 20-inch long shaft, it weighs 145 lbs, making it one of the lightest in its 30 HP class. The 500cc (30.5 cubic inch) inline three-cylinder engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) delivers strong low-end torque for quick planing and a full throttle range of 5000-6000 RPM. Its innovative multi-function tiller handle, adjustable 18 degrees port or starboard and reversible for left- or right-hand use, offers exceptional control and comfort. The motor features a 3.2-gallon external fuel tank, an electric start system for effortless ignition, gas-assist tilt for easy adjustments, and low-vibration soft-rubber mounts for smooth operation. Built for durability in freshwater and saltwater, it uses low-copper aluminum alloys, stainless steel components, and a multi-layered priming and painting process for superior corrosion resistance. With reliable starting, instant throttle response, and fuel efficiency, the 30ELHGA is ideal for worry-free boating.

8 reviews for Mercury 30hp EFI 20″ Shaft | 30ELHGA
+ FREE GIFT
The 30ELHGA is a standout on my 16-foot deep-V aluminum—153 lbs is manageable, and the 20″ shaft with gas-assist tilt makes beaching effortless. EFI starts with one button push, no battery required, even in damp fog. Trolled for perch all weekend on under 3 gallons, hitting 24 mph with two aboard and gear. Smooth torque, ultra-quiet—Mercury’s portable power at its finest!
Perfect match for my 17-foot river boat—the 30ELHGA’s battery-free EFI handles variable conditions flawlessly. Gas-assist tilt for quick adjustments in currents, strong low-end power planes loaded boats effortlessly. Efficient at 20% better than my old carb model, pushes 23 mph with three aboard. Runs cool and quiet—Mercury reliability shines on the water!
Mounted the 30ELHGA on my coastal skiff, and it handles bays like a champ—20″ shaft in swells, EFI adapts for instant power. Gas-assist tilt saves effort in tides, low fuel use (under 2 gph cruise) means longer runs. Hits 24 mph with gear, vibration-free quietness for all-day comfort. After 70 hours, still flawless—best 30hp portable out there!
