Yamaha F40JEA — FourStroke
the most trusted four-stroke outboard range in Australia, combining reliability, fuel efficiency and smooth power delivery. The F40JEA uses Yamaha Marine’s multi-point Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, which delivers precise fuel metering at every RPM for outstanding fuel economy, choke-free cold starting and clean emissions that comply with all Australian and New Zealand marine park and waterway regulations. From Tasmania’s cold winter mornings to Queensland’s tropical heat, the F40JEA starts first time, every time, and delivers smooth consistent power from idle to wide-open throttle.
Yamaha F40JEA — Jet Drive Lower Unit
The F40JEA is fitted with a jet drive lower unit instead of a conventional propeller. The jet drive draws water through a flush intake mounted on the underside of the hull and expels it at high velocity through a directional nozzle, enabling the motor to operate in water as shallow as 15–20 centimetres. This makes the F40JEA the ideal outboard for Australian inland rivers, tidal flats, billabongs, flood plains and any waterway where submerged rocks, logs or debris make propeller operation unsafe. Steering is achieved by rotating the nozzle; reverse is achieved via a deflector bucket. No propeller to strike, bend or shear — just reliable, safe power in the shallows.
Yamaha F40JEA — Short (15″) Shaft
The Short (15″) Shaft on the F40JEA suits small aluminium tinnies, dinghies and lightweight boats with low transoms under 15″. Shaft length is one of the most critical specifications when choosing an outboard motor — selecting the wrong shaft length leads to propeller ventilation, poor performance and unnecessary wear. The 15″ shaft on the F40JEA positions the propeller at the optimal depth for small aluminium tinnies, dinghies and lightweight portable boats with transom heights under 15 inches, minimising cavitation and maximising thrust efficiency in real-world Australian and New Zealand operating conditions.
Yamaha F40JEA — Jet Drive
The F40JEA is configured with jet drive lower unit — replaces the conventional propeller with a water jet impeller, enabling safe operation in extremely shallow water, rivers, tidal flats and areas where propeller strike is a risk. This control configuration is matched to the vessel types and operating environments the F40JEA is designed for, giving operators precise, responsive and comfortable control whether running open water, navigating estuary channels or working a favourite fishing spot.
Yamaha F40JEA — Midnight Blue Cowling | Standard Rotation
The F40JEA is finished in midnight blue cowling — Yamaha Marine’s signature colour, recognised worldwide as the mark of a genuine Yamaha outboard. The lower unit is fitted with standard rotation lower unit — for single-engine use or starboard position on twin-engine installations. For twin-engine boat owners, pairing a standard-rotation motor on the starboard side with a counter-rotating motor on the port side eliminates propeller torque effect, delivering superior straight-line tracking, improved fuel economy and more precise handling — particularly at speed.
