Impressed with how neat this Yamaha is. Starts instantly, runs quiet for a 2-stroke, and the Autolube is a huge convenience. Short shaft fits my boat perfectly. Seller included major service and original impeller—no surprises. Been using it weekly with no problems. Highly recommend.

This 30 HP has been a great upgrade. The 3-cylinder Autolube makes starting effortless and power is strong for fishing. Remote control feels solid and responsive. Paint is clean, operating hours are low, and the service was done right. Original impeller installed. Very satisfied with this purchase.

This motor exceeded my expectations. The 30 HP 2-stroke is powerful and the Autolube makes operation simple. Remote control is smooth and the short shaft is perfect for shallow water. Condition is neat with low operating hours. Major service and impeller done before sale. Solid choice.

Bought this Yamaha for my punt boat and it’s been perfect. Autolube works great, short shaft is ideal, and the 30 HP gives nice thrust. The motor is neat, runs smooth, and cooled well on first outing. Major service and original impeller included. Reliable engine for the price.
