New 2027 Yamaha F40LA 40 HP 4-Stroke Outboard — On Sale for $7,756

Regularly $8,375, this brand-new 2027 Yamaha F40LA is on sale now for $7,756 at Y Marina, Inc. in Coos Bay, Oregon. Price is for the new engine only — installation labor, rigging equipment, and propeller are sold separately.

The F40LA is built around a compact, lightweight three-cylinder, single overhead camshaft design displacing 747cc, producing its full 40 horsepower at 5,500 RPM within a full-throttle operating range of 5,000 to 6,000 RPM. Bore and stroke measure 65 x 75mm with a 9.4:1 compression ratio, and the engine runs on standard 87 octane fuel. Fuel delivery is handled by Yamaha's Precision Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection system, paired with a single throttle valve and long intake tracks for responsive throttle command, plus a vapor-reducing fuel return system that helps the engine start easily whether it's cold or already warmed up. A Yamaha 10-micron fuel/water separating filter helps keep the fuel system protected, and the engine uses a wet-sump lubrication system that takes Yamalube 4M oil, with an oil capacity of 1.7 liters (1.5 liters on refill).

This is the "LA" configuration, meaning it's built with a 20-inch long shaft and set up for remote mechanical steering and throttle/shift control rather than tiller operation — a straightforward fit for console or side-console boats already rigged for remote controls. Electric start and power trim and tilt come standard, giving a tilt range of 20 degrees and a trim range from -3° up to +20° for dialing in the right running angle. Steering swings 40 degrees from center in either direction, and shifting runs through the standard forward-neutral-reverse pattern via a 2.00:1 gear ratio. The alternator puts out 17 amps to keep batteries and onboard electronics charged while running. Dry weight comes in between 214 and 223 lbs depending on final configuration, keeping this motor manageable on smaller to midsize aluminum and fiberglass hulls.

Yamaha backs the F40LA's durability with its Phaze Five anti-corrosive paint system, a five-layer protective barrier, along with Yamaha's proprietary YDC-30 alloy construction to help the engine hold up against fresh and saltwater exposure over the long haul. A built-in freshwater flush device makes routine engine flushing simple without having to run the motor. For anglers who need precise low-speed control, an optional Multi-Function Tiller with a Variable Trolling RPM Switch is available, adjustable in 50-RPM increments between 650 and 900 RPM. The F40LA is also compatible with mechanical, tiller-handle, and digital control systems, and it now works with Siren Marine for remote security and battery monitoring. Yamaha covers the engine with a limited warranty of 3 years for pleasure use, 3 years for government use, and 1 year for commercial use.

Please note that this listing price of $7,756 covers the new 2027 Yamaha F40LA engine only. Installation labor, rigging kit, controls, cabling, and propeller are all sold separately and are not included in the engine price. Our service department can quote installation and rigging for your specific boat, or help you select the right propeller to match your hull and application.

Who This Engine Is For

The Yamaha F40LA is a strong repower or new-rig option for:

• Owners of aluminum fishing boats, jon boats, and utility boats in the 14 to 18-foot range looking for dependable midrange power
• Boaters replacing an aging carbureted engine with a modern, fuel-injected 4-stroke for easier starting and better fuel economy
• Anyone rigging a console boat that needs remote mechanical steering and throttle/shift control rather than a tiller setup
• Buyers who want an engine light enough to keep transom weight manageable while still delivering solid midrange performance
• Anglers who plan to add the optional trolling switch for precise low-speed boat control
