How to Identify Your 30 HP Model
- Locate the model/serial tag on the top outer edge of the clamp bracket, or on top of the swivel bracket (port or starboard).
- Read the full model code and suffix: letters often indicate shaft length (S=15", L=20"), electric start vs. manual, and tiller vs. remote control.
- For 2‑stroke models, note whether your engine uses carburetors (earlier models) or E‑TEC direct injection (later models). Many parts differ between these platforms.
- Record the serial number and any build date information to confirm year‑specific parts.

FAQs
Are parts interchangeable between different years or platforms?
Some hardware overlaps, but many items differ between carbureted 2‑stroke and E‑TEC direct‑injection models, as well as across years and suffix codes. Always confirm with the full model code and serial.
When should the impeller be replaced?
Replace the impeller or full water pump kit every 100 hours or annually. Shorten the interval if you operate in sandy/silty water, see a weak telltale, or after an overheat.
How often should gear oil be changed?
Change lower unit gear oil every season or 100 hours, and inspect for water intrusion (milky oil). If water is present, reseal before restarting.
What information do you need to confirm compatibility?
Provide the complete model code, serial number, shaft length (S/L), start/control type (manual/electric, tiller/remote), and any notes on year or E‑TEC vs. carb. Photos of the nameplate and the part area help ensure a precise match.
