Honda BF50D4LRTA 50HP Outboard – 20in Shaft, Remote Mechanical, Power Trim

Position Honda BF40D4LRTA at the helm of a remote-steer aluminum fishing boat or center console when 40 HP and a 20-inch long shaft are needed. Its 808 cc inline three-cylinder SOHC 4-stroke engine uses six valves and produces 40 HP at 5,500 RPM. Honda BF40D4LRTA is a Signature Silver outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, BLAST, electric starting, remote mechanical controls, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration suits compatible long-transom boats.

The 214-lb dry weight should be included in transom, battery, trailer, and repower calculations. Its 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection, while the 2.08:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. A 22-amp alternator provides 17 charging amps for supported navigation equipment, pumps, lighting, and accessories. The listed 2.1 L oil capacity includes filter service, with gearcase maintenance directed by the Honda manual.
