Yes, most 40 hp motors are the same as 50 hp and 60 hp.
The manufacturers just fix em up to run at what ever hp you wanna buy.
I had a 3 cyl. 25 hp. Suzuki that was good for duck hunting, but a dog
when gator hunting. Had it fixed up to a 35 hp for about $100.
Same with my old 3 cyl. 40 hp Merc. Cost was a lot cheaper to get it to
60 hp than it was to buy a 60 hp engine. It was around $150.
You won't have to change carbs, but you will prolly need to change the
jets and reeds. I don't have the ability to do it, but I got it done at
the Suzuki shop for the Zuki and at Gene's Marine for the Merc.
I also had to add a lil pitch to the props.
