The Mercury 40EPT is a compact, lightweight four-stroke outboard motor designed for small boats such as jon boats, skiffs, inflatables, and small fishing vessels up to 14-16 feet. Featuring a 15-inch short shaft, it weighs 229 lbs, making it one of the most portable in its 40 HP class. The 995cc (60.8 cubic inch) inline 4-cylinder engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and 8-valve SOHC design delivers strong low-end torque for quick planing and a full throttle range of 5000-6000 RPM. Equipped with remote mechanical steering for precise control, electric start for effortless ignition, and power trim & tilt for easy adjustments. The motor features a 3.0-gallon external fuel tank, low-vibration mounts for smooth operation, and an 18-amp alternator to support electronics. Built for durability in freshwater and saltwater, it uses low-copper aluminum alloys, stainless steel components, and a multi-layered priming and painting process for superior corrosion resistance. With reliable starting, instant throttle response, and fuel efficiency, the 40EPT is ideal for worry-free boating.

Ideal portable for my 15-foot bayou boat—the 40EPT’s EFI adapts to loads for smooth power, electric start in any weather, and efficiency stretches every tank. Strong torque for chop, pushes 21 mph with three aboard. Ultra-quiet operation lets me hear the birds while drifting. At 229 lbs, handling is a breeze—perfect for short-transom adventures!
This Mercury 40hp EFI is a trolling pro on my creek skiff. Starts instantly with no fuss, and the 3-cylinder smoothness planes me quick even overloaded. Fuel efficiency is top-notch—saved 20% over my old carb model—while topping 23 mph clean. The lightweight build and quiet 4-stroke vibe make all-day trips a joy. Zero issues after 40 hours—best for tight, shallow waters!
