📖 Model Background

The Yamaha E40G and E40J are 2‑stroke, 40 HP inline‑2 outboards produced for global markets between 2004 and 2008. Powered by a robust 669 cc engine and carbureted induction, they deliver strong mid-range performance up to 5,000 RPM. Weighing approximately 65–71 kg (143–157 lb), both models offer manual or electric start, tiller or remote control, and manual tilt—making them a versatile and dependable choice for recreational fishing boats, inflatables, and small cruisers. The E40J features slightly adjusted transom heights (up to 648 mm) for deeper transom applications, while both models maintain Yamaha’s reliable pre-mixed fuel lubrication and conventional gearcases.
