HONDA MARINE BF 40hp
COMPACT POWER
Light weight, compact 808cc three-cylinder engine, strong torque and exciting performance.
How do the BF40 and BF50 combine all of the above? Thanks to their carefully designed small electronic components that save weight and space, contributing to the compact slim design. But also thanks to the Programmable Electronic Fuel Injection PGM-FI that gives easy starting, strong acceleration and excellent fuel economy.
Better performance
The Honda BlastTM low-rev torque system and ECOmo low-burn control complete the impressive combination of innovative technologies of the machines in the class.
YOU DESERVE THE BEST
Whether you're having fun offshore or going fishing, you deserve the best outboard.
Both the BF40 and BF50 are highly responsive outboards that provide reliable performance in all conditions. NMEA2000® compliant, equipped with PGM-FI Programmable Electronic Fuel Injection and optional Trolling Control, they combine cutting-edge technology with sleek, lightweight design.
ABSOLUTE CONTROL AT EVERY SPEED
Through the Trolling Control, fine adjustments can be made very easily - in steps of 50 rpm.
Accurate slow-speed control is just as important as accurate high-speed handling, especially when fishing. The optional Trolling Control adjusts speed in 50 rpm increments, making the BF40 and BF50 the ideal outboards for fishing.
Respect for the environment
Improving the quality of our lives has absolutely no value if it negatively affects the living things around us. When it comes to the marine environment in particular, there is no justification for allowing fuel from boats to pollute the seas.
The Honda way
Soichiro Honda had a vision, to make outboard motors cleaner, quieter and friendlier to aquatic life. This is how the idea of four-stroke outboard motors was born. The implementation of this concept made Honda a pioneer in marine engine technology, but more importantly it made us all more environmentally responsible.
WARRANTY
Just like our machines, Honda's warranty is the best you'll find.
Honda is able to provide strong protection against corrosion through its excellent anti-corrosion technology and the help of specially trained technicians, who are by your side at all times, providing high quality service. Honda's warranty covers all use, whether private or professional. But what makes the Honda Marine warranty unbeatable is that it maintains the same value throughout its duration. This means that the last day of coverage for us has exactly the same effect as the first day. Because when you think Honda, you think reliability.
Four lines of defense
Strong corrosion protection is achieved with four lines of defense. First the aluminum casing is anodised with the patented 'Double Sealing' process. An epoxy primer is then applied, before the glossy silver paint. For further protection from UV rays, a clear resin coating is then applied for finishing. Final touches, for absolute protection, are the placement of anode and waterproof plugs.
