Honda BF40D3SDS 40HP 4-Stroke Outboard Motor – Long (20") Shaft, Electric start

About this motor

The Honda BF40D3SDS is a 40HP four-stroke outboard motor built for boat owners who need dependable power on the water. Fitted with a 3-cylinder, water-cooled powerhead displacing 808cc and running a programmed fuel injection (pgm-fi) fuel system, this long (20″) shaft outboard is set up with electric start and remote mechanical control, giving you a straightforward, reliable setup whether you’re heading out for a weekend fish or a longer day on the water.

At 97kg, the BF40D3SDS is engineered to be light enough to handle on the transom while still delivering the torque and acceleration boaters expect from Honda’s four-stroke range. It suits flats boats, bay boats, inflatables and family fishing boats, and is finished in Honda Grey to match Honda’s current outboard line-up.

Key features:
– Honda’s BLAST throttle response delivers a strong hole-shot for fast acceleration onto the plane
– Best-in-class charging performance from a 17-amp alternator to run electronics and recharge batteries
– Multi-function tiller handle option integrates a power trim-tilt switch for one-hand operation
– Programmed Fuel Injection ensures smooth, reliable starts and instant throttle response
– Honda’s 4-Front corrosion protection for long-term performance in saltwater
