Just acquired this 2010 40hp 4-stroke engine. Unfortunately I don’t have the connections to test the hours. This is the cleanest engine I’ve seen so far. Even the stickers on the lower unit have minimal wear. The story the previous owner gave me is that it was running great when he had the oil changed. The service tech did not tighten the plug all the way causing it to lose all the oil and blew a rod. It’s been sitting in his shop out of the elements for a couple years. I will clean it and update pictures soon. It has surface scratches but no cracks. I’m about to post the rest of the parts. Make me an offer.
