Honda BF40D4LRTA Outboard - 20" Shaft | Remote Control | Electric Start | Power Tilt | Silver

Overview

The BF40D4LRTA is a versatile 40 HP outboard built for boats that want strong mid-range power combined with full helm integration. With remote steering, electric start, and power tilt, this model is designed to feel like a natural part of a console-rigged boat.

The 20" shaft ensures proper fit on long-transom hulls, while power tilt allows easy trim adjustments for shallow water, trailering, and changing load conditions. From the helm, operation feels composed and predictable—an important trait as horsepower increases.

At 40 HP, boats gain the ability to carry more weight without feeling sluggish. The engine cruises comfortably without high RPMs, which helps reduce noise and operator fatigue. It’s a strong choice for anglers and utility boaters who want more capability without moving into heavier, high-horsepower engines.
