2018 Yamaha F40 Midrange Tiller 20 F40LEHA Outboard Motor

Description

The F40LEHA is built around Yamaha’s 747cc single-overhead-camshaft three-cylinder powerhead, a design that provides compact, lightweight, and space-saving packaging while delivering strong performance . The six-valve, SOHC design efficiently exchanges intake and exhaust gases for responsive power and fuel efficiency .

The Precision Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection system delivers the exact amount of fuel needed for optimum performance and efficiency, with Yamaha’s EFI optimizing fuel atomization further enhancing fuel economy . A vapor-reducing fuel return system works in conjunction with the multi-point EFI to offer dependable turn-key starting in hot or cold conditions .

The single throttle valve ensures the precise amount of air necessary for optimum power and fuel efficiency, routing air through individual long intake tracks that are “pulse tuned” to provide air at the precise volume and timing for maximum density and power .

The Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS) — available with the optional Multi-Function Tiller handle — allows precision trolling speed adjustments in 50-RPM increments, compatible with all Midrange models . For anglers who fish seriously, this level of low-speed control is invaluable.

The Freshwater Flush Device allows you to flush the engine without running it, for added convenience and extended engine life . The Power Trim and Tilt system provides a trim range of -3° to +20°, bringing the bow of the boat up for better hole shot, top speed, and a smoother ride .

Yamaha’s Phaze Five™ electro-deposited anti-corrosive paint system, combined with their proprietary YDC-30 alloy, provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion — standard on all Yamaha Midrange four-stroke engines . A one-piece cowling with intake air drain system drains water away efficiently, while incoming air is routed through a labyrinth of passages that trap water before it enters the engine’s intake .

The 40 HP midrange outboard segment is competitive, with strong offerings from Mercury 40 FourStroke, Suzuki DF40A, and Honda BF40. Here’s how the F40LEHA compares on the specifications that matter:

The F40LEHA’s 747cc displacement matches the Mercury 40 and exceeds the Suzuki DF40A in displacement while weighing less . Its 17-amp alternator provides ample charging capacity for electronics. The Power Trim & Tilt system with a -3° to +20° range offers greater negative trim capability than competitors, improving hole shot and acceleration .

Independent performance testing on an Avid 16 Commander with the F40LEHA provides real-world fuel economy and speed data :

0-20 MPH acceleration: 8.50 seconds . Peak fuel efficiency occurs around 5000 RPM, delivering 9.59 MPG .

The F40LEHA is well-suited to a wide range of American boating applications:

• Aluminum fishing boats — the 20″ shaft and tiller control make it ideal for serious anglers

• Inflatables and RIBs — 214 lb weight and compact design work well with these hulls

• Small pontoons — the 747cc powerhead handles light pontoon duty

• Jon boats — reliable power for work and play

The engine features a one-piece cowling with intake air drain system that efficiently drains water away, and Nitro Assist Tilt makes tilting almost effortless . The large on-engine water separating fuel filter with water sensor works in conjunction with Yamaha’s optional 10-Micron Water Separating Fuel Filter to keep contaminants out of your fuel injectors .
