Honda BF30DK2SRTU / BF30DK2LRTU – 30 HP, Remote Control, Power Trim & Tilt
The Honda BF30 is a reliable and efficient 30 HP (22.1 kW) four-stroke outboard engine, designed for small to medium-sized powerboats. The BF30DK2SRTU and BF30DK2LRTU offer the same power and main features, with shaft length being the key difference:
- BF30DK2SRTU – Short shaft (S), 431 mm, suitable for boats with a lower transom.
- BF30DK2LRTU – Long shaft (L), 552 mm, suitable for boats with a higher transom.
Both versions feature electric starting, remote control, hydraulic Power Trim & Tilt and a 12 V / 10 A charging system. The remote-control configuration makes them particularly suitable for boats equipped with a steering console.
The BF30 is a practical choice for aluminium, GRP/fibreglass, RIB and larger inflatable boats, provided that the boat manufacturer approves an outboard of this power and weight.
Important when choosing: select the S or L shaft according to the boat's transom height, and always check the boat manufacturer's maximum permitted engine power and weight.

SRTU or LRTU – which version should you choose?
Both models provide the same power and main equipment. The key difference is the required mounting height:
BF30DK2SRTU – Short / S
Short shaft with a recommended transom height of 431 mm. Designed for boats with a lower transom.
BF30DK2LRTU – Long / L
Long shaft with a recommended transom height of 552 mm. Designed for boats with a higher transom.
Choosing the correct shaft length is essential for correct propeller positioning and efficient engine operation.
Control and comfort
Both models feature remote control and electric starting, making them suitable for boats with a steering console.
The Power Trim & Tilt system provides electro-hydraulic adjustment of the engine trim and tilt. This allows the engine position to be adjusted easily according to boat load, speed and operating conditions.
A 12 V / 10 A alternator provides battery charging while the engine is running.

FAQ
Which configuration does the Honda BF30DK2 offer?
30 HP; short S / long L shaft; remote steering; electric starting. Select the exact variant on the product card; the listed shaft lengths are alternatives, not one configuration.
Will it fit my boat?
Check maximum permitted engine power and weight, transom height and installation requirements in the boat documentation. Hull length alone does not establish compatibility.
What should I confirm for installation?
Provide the boat model and exact product code. Confirm the propeller and fuel system, remote controls, cables, instruments and steering system, plus the required starting battery. Delivery contents must be checked for the specific SKU.
How should the propeller be selected?
Selection depends on hull design, loaded boat weight and the engine operating range. Do not choose diameter and pitch by horsepower alone; confirm suitability for the specific installation.
Which details should I send before ordering?
Provide your boat model, rated maximum engine power and weight, transom height and preferred steering arrangement. Refer to the selected variant and order confirmation for availability and lead time.
