Sophistication & intelligence combine with Yamaha’s new F40F Outboard

by Bob Carter on 2 Feb 2009 At the heart of the new F40F outboard is Yamaha’s electronic multi-point fuel injection system. Combined with an electronically controlled single throttle valve, long intake track manifold and 32-bit electronic control module, the new mid-range 40hp pocket rocket delivers lightening starts, smooth and quiet performance and precise throttle control.

Built around a 6-valve, single overhead camshaft, in-line 3-cylinder power unit, the new F40F is light and compact without sacrificing an ounce of performance and reliability. Precision engineering has afforded Yamaha the room to develop a new benchmark for mid-range outboard performance that will appeal to both the commercial and leisure boating sectors.

“Yamaha’s engineers have held nothing back in developing our new electronically controlled F40F outboard,” said Brett Hampson, National Sales and Marketing Manager for Marine Products at Yamaha Motor Australia.

“Our commitment to innovation and quality is evident with the new F40F sharing many engine technologies with our industry leading F350 V8. Electronic multi-point fuel injection, single throttle valve control and 32-bit electronic control module are just some of the features onboard the F40F which deliver a key performance advantage in the marine outboard market.”

A stunningly modern cowling adds to the engineering appeal of the next generation F40F 4-stroke outboard from Yamaha. Bearing resemblance to the cutting edge profile of its bigger brother F350, the F40F is in every way the latest engine evolution from Australia’s largest engine manufacturer.

Yamaha’s intelligent F40F is available in three model designations:
- F40FEHDL, (electric start, multi function tiller handle, hydro tilt, long shaft)
- F40FEHTL, (electric start, multi function tiller handle, trim & tilt, long shaft)
- F40FETL, (electric start, forward control trim & tilt, long shaft)

Yamaha outboards are available through an Australia-wide network of authorised Yamaha outboard dealers. All Yamaha 4-stroke outboards are supported with a full 4-year manufacturer’s warranty and all 2-stroke outboards are backed by a 3 year warranty – conditions apply.
