Honda’s Lean Burn Control technology, ECOmo, maximises fuel efficiency by adjusting the air/fuel mixture according to speed and load. Offering significantly improved fuel consumption over direct injection two-stroke and competing four-stroke models. It’s class leading performance.
You’ll get best in class charging performance with the BF40 thanks to a 17 Amp charging alternator. Allowing your outboard to charge the battery faster and power more accessories, so that you can now run a bit of extra tech on the boat to help you find the perfect catch.
Honda’s renowned Programmed Fuel Injection is controlled by an advanced Engine Control Unit (ECU). Engine sensors precisely control the supply of fuel to the engine, providing easy starting, instantaneous throttle response and superior fuel economy.
The BF40 remote models come with our standard Honda remote, analogue gauges, aluminium propeller and wiring. Everything you need to get out on the water easier. Need a specific rigging kit or propeller? Talk to your local Honda dealer about upgrade options. (Kit pictured for illustration purposes only, rigging kit with outboard may vary).
The BF40’s multi-function tiller handle incorporates a power trim-tilt switch in the tiller handle, so the operator can trim the engine while underway and remain completely focused on the water. It also has a reversible shift lever, which can be mounted on the left or right side.
Honda’s patented 4-Front corrosion paint process creates a tight barrier between the engine and environment. This double sealed, multi-layered process helps to keep your engine looking and performing like new.
As with all Honda outboards, the BF40 boasts all the benefits of Honda’s advanced four-stroke technology, like unparalleled easy starting, quiet operation and low emissions. Offering low fuel consumption and maintenance costs, in addition to the performance and durability for which Honda is renowned.
NMEA2000 compliant, this outboard allows simplified connectivity with NMEA2000 electronic equipment such as sonars/fish finders, chart plotters and other devices via CANbus network technology.
Honda patented non-linear rubber mounts provide smoother operation at all speeds, with reduced vibration and noise.

Every Honda Marine outboard comes with an unmatched 1-year* domestic (recreational) warranty. You can relax and enjoy your time on the water knowing that you’re covered by the best warranty in the business!
