Mercury 40HP ELHPT FourStroke Outboard

This new Mercury 40HP ELHPT FourStroke Outboard pairs electric start with a tiller handle built around Mercury's new advanced tiller design, on a 20-inch long shaft with full power trim and tilt.

• Inline-three, four-stroke, 45.6 cubic-inch displacement
• 20-inch long shaft, tiller steering with the new advanced tiller
• Electric starter, power trim and tilt, electronic fuel injection
• Full throttle range of 5500 to 6000 rpm
• Dry weight listed at 204 pounds

Fit and what comes with it

Because this is a tiller model, it suits boats steered from the stern rather than a console, and the 20-inch shaft is sized for a long transom; confirm your transom height before ordering rather than guessing, since a shaft that is too long or too short changes how the propeller sits in the water. Mercury's new advanced tiller folds the twist-grip throttle, shift, and trim controls into one handle, and power trim and tilt means raising and lowering the motor does not require manual effort at the dock or on the water.

What ships in the box

Mercury packs in the owner's manual and a basic tool kit, along with a fuel tank and the fittings needed to connect it. The propeller is not included, so budget for one sized to your boat and gearing before you plan a trip. Mercury Marine backs this outboard with a three-year warranty.
