The 2019 Honda BF40D4LHA delivers legendary Honda reliability in a lightweight, compact package perfect for aluminum skiffs, inflatables, bay boats, and flats boats. As a proven 4-stroke SOHC three-cylinder engine with 808 cc displacement, this tiller-steered outboard combines instant throttle response, superior fuel economy, and effortless handling – exactly what experienced boaters demand.
Powered by Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) and exclusive Lean Burn Control system, the BF40D4LHA achieves up to 20% better fuel efficiency at cruising speeds compared to competitors in its class. BLAST (Boosted Low Speed Torque) technology gives you explosive hole-shot acceleration and low-end power for quick planing and towing. The high-performance gearcase reduces drag, while the Mikuni intake system builds torque for smooth, quiet operation all day long.

- 20″ long shaft (L) – ideal for transom heights on most mid-size boats
- Tiller handle steering (H) with ergonomic 3-position adjustment
- Electric start
- Gas-assisted tilt for easy shallow-water operation
- High-output 17-amp charging system (nearly double most competitors) to power electronics, fish finders, and lights
Honda’s legendary corrosion protection (4-Front system + sacrificial anodes + fresh-water flush port) plus the Engine Alert System ensure years of trouble-free service. Backed by Honda’s transferable 5-year limited warranty (recreational use), this is the outboard that thousands of anglers and boaters trust year after year.
Whether you’re replacing an older motor or outfitting a new rig, the 2019 Honda 40 HP BF40D4LHA sets the benchmark for mid-range outboards – lightweight (214–216 lbs dry), compact, and built with the same precision engineering found in Honda automobiles.
