📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 30 HP 2-cylinder 2-stroke outboard, produced from 1997 to 2002, was engineered for reliability and simplicity in compact marine applications. Powered by a 496 cc loop-charged 2-stroke twin-cylinder engine with oil-injection and CDI ignition, it offered efficient 30 HP performance with minimal weight and maintenance. Weighing just around 52–60 kg (115–132 lb) depending on trim and shaft length, it was widely used on jon boats, inflatables, and lightweight fishing vessels in both freshwater and coastal regions.

This manual covers all Yamaha 30 HP 2-cylinder 2-stroke models from this production run, including popular variants like 30HMH, 30ELRX, 30BETOX, and others based on the same 496 cc engine block. Regardless of tiller or remote steering, manual or electric start, every configuration is fully supported in the factory service procedures.
