Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why would I choose a 20" shaft outboard?
A: A 20" shaft is used on long-transom boats and many kicker applications. It places the gearcase and propeller at the right depth for more consistent performance.

Q: Why choose remote control on the DF30ATL?
A: A remote-control layout moves operation to the helm, opens up stern space, and gives the boat a cleaner, more conventional driving position.

Q: What is the advantage of power trim and tilt?
A: Power trim and tilt gives you better control over running attitude under way and makes tilting the engine up far easier during loading, docking, and shallow-water operation.

Q: How does this model compare with smaller portable outboards?
A: It offers a noticeable jump in midrange strength and load-carrying ability while still staying easier to manage than a full-size midrange outboard.
