2020 Yamaha 40 HP F40LA Outboard Motor
Reliability & Durability
- Corrosion Protection: Combined with our proprietary alloy (YDC-30), our exclusive Phaze Five™ anti-corrosive paint system provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion. This protection is standard on all Yamaha Midrange four-stroke engines.
- Advanced Technology: The F40 and F30 are equipped with an Engine Control Module that interfaces with Yamaha Diagnostic System software. This provides a view of selected past and current running conditions, to help technicians provide a complete and accurate diagnosis of your engine.
- Protection from the Elements: A proven one-piece cowling with an intake air drain system easily and efficiently drains water away that enters the cowling. Incoming air is routed through a labyrinth of passages that help trap water before it enters the engine’s intake for maximum reliability.
- Cleaner Fuel: A large, on-engine water separating fuel filter with a water sensor is used in conjunction with the Yamaha optional boat-mounted 10-Micron Water Separating Fuel Filter. This helps separate water and contaiminants from the fuel before they can reach the outboard’s other filters and fuel injectors.
Convenience & Control
- Control and Comfort: Our optional, award-winning Multi-Function Tiller handle features a Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS®). It allows for precision trolling speed adjustments in 50-RPM increments. Compatible with all Midrange models.
- Easy Engine Flushing: A Freshwater Flush Device allows you to flush the engine without running it, for added convenience and extended engine life.
- Power Trim and Tilt: Power trim and tilt models provide a trim range of -3 up to +20 degrees. This brings the bow of the boat up, for better hole shot and top speed and a smoother ride.

At Outboard Repower Shop, we strive to make your purchase of used outboard motors, refurbished outboard engines, repower kits, and marine accessories as seamless as possible. We offer free shipping on all orders within the United States and a simple $150 flat rate for international orders to select countries. This policy provides clear, transparent details on our shipping process so you can shop with confidence.
Please note: Outboard motors and large items are heavy and oversized, so we use specialized packaging and trusted freight carriers to ensure safe delivery. Every item is carefully inspected before shipment, especially used and refurbished motors, to guarantee it arrives in the described condition.

- You will receive an order confirmation email, followed by a shipping notification with tracking once your package leaves our warehouse.
- During peak seasons, processing may take up to 5 business days—we’ll keep you informed of any delays.
