Honda BF40DK4LRTC 40HP Outboard – 20in Shaft, Remote, Power Tilt

Place Honda BF40DK4LRTC on a compatible aluminum fishing boat, small pontoon, or fiberglass runabout when remote steering and 40 HP are required with a 20-inch shaft. Its 808 cc inline three-cylinder SOHC 4-stroke engine uses 12 valves and Programmed Fuel Injection. Honda BF40DK4LRTC is an electric-start outboard with remote steering, Power Trim and Tilt, BLAST, Lean Burn Control, and NMEA 2000 compatibility. The long shaft is intended for standard compatible transoms.

The listed 220-lb dry weight should be considered during transom, battery, trailer, and repower planning. The 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection, while the 2.08:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. Its 22-amp alternator provides 17 net charging amps for supported onboard equipment. Confirm the boat’s horsepower rating, transom height, steering hardware, battery capacity, and rigging compatibility before installation.
