HONDA 40HP JET

The Honda 40 Jet brings Honda’s legendary reliability to jet drive versatility, letting boaters access waters that traditional prop-driven boats can’t — rocky shallows, whitewater rapids, and sandbars. Its low-profile foot design eliminates the risk of a propeller catching or getting damaged on rough or shallow bottoms. Built on the proven BF60 platform, the 40 Jet retains that engine’s strengths — top-in-class maneuverability and high-output charging — while adding jet drive flexibility. Performance features include BLAST for instant low-speed acceleration, a Mikuni long-tube intake for low-end torque, and Lean Burn Control paired with multi-port fuel injection, delivering up to 20% better fuel economy than competitors at cruising speed.

Reliability is backed by the same engineering and manufacturing standards found across Honda’s marine and automotive lineup, along with the transferable, non-declining True 5 Warranty and an Engine Alert System that flags overheating, low oil pressure, and over-revving. Honda’s corrosion protection system — multi-layered paint, sacrificial anodes, and waterproof connectors — helps the engine hold up over time. A neodymium magnet flywheel gives the 40 Jet best-in-class charging output (22 total amps, 17 charging amps), nearly double some competitors, keeping battery banks topped off even with multiple accessories running.

For everyday use, the 40 Jet offers simplified maintenance, NMEA 2000 connectivity for GPS or sonar integration, and angler-friendly features like a 3-position tiller handle with 50 degrees of steering to port and starboard, push-button variable speed trolling (750–1000 RPM in 50 RPM increments), and an ergonomic, center-mounted tiller with adjustable throttle and steering friction for precise, comfortable control.
