Thank you for these set of videos on this 30 hp motor, I have the tiller handle version showing up in the next week or so, I am really looking forward to it getting here.

Hey Mark, does that one come with the new smartcraft capability for trolling? I’ve seen some new 30’s that have the capability at a few dealers. Does your tag say it’s the 500cc model?

I picked up the new Tohatsu mfs30d (same motor I believe) after a 3 month wait. The Merc cowling certainly looks nicer!

It is definitely a sleek cowling design but it seems flimsy, not sure how the Tohatsu one is but I did call around to check out some other brand motors before deciding and it came down to what was in stock. Since my boat was already rigged for Mercury and I was able to use my old prop, and the only dealer nearby was Mercury that had ONE in stock, it was the obvious choice to go with.

I priced one to replace my 2016 20 Mercury 4 stroke . The tiller with electric start is 5100 at my local dealer. My 20hp has E-start and power tilt and is close the same wright. Can I ask what size boat your pushing? I have a 1548 Alweld Tunnel and get 24mph loaded with a 9pitch SS prop. I really don't want to put the max HP on the boat to keep the weight down for going in shallow water and on wildlife management areas. This new 30hp looks to be a really good size. When I add one person to my boat that's is when the 20 looses speed.

Do The new ones not have pull start also?

Unfortunately no, I guess when their goal is to make the motor as light as possible these are the things the consumer have to deal with.

Good video (no offfense) but that motor looks like a toy I mean that lower unit is tiny

@igotdeelz

LOL, I 100% agree with you, but I guess that’s where they were able to reduce the weight the most. When the motor is in the water and you can’t see the skinny lower unit so it looks fantastic :)

Thinking of one myself...that lower unit does seem tiny though,wonder how much of a hit it would take. Have fun and enjoy.
