Honda BF40

Model: BF40

40 hp three-cylinder PGM-FI mid-range four-stroke with high-output charging and NMEA 2000 connectivity. Marks the move to PGM-FI in this range. Its 808 cc platform, charging capability and NMEA 2000 support make it more integration-oriented than BF25/BF30. Before choosing, verify the boat’s permitted horsepower, shaft length, control and steering type, exact configuration weight and electrical compatibility. For jet-drive models, also consider water depth and the intended operating environment.
