Fitment FAQ
Will this part fit my specific model and year?
This CDI is designed for selected Yamaha 40HP 2-stroke E40, 40MH, E40M, E40W, 40WH, and 40W outboard applications associated with OEM 6F6-85540-00.
Because the original listing does not specify a complete year range, confirm your engine model code and original CDI rather than relying on horsepower alone.
Do I need to match the OEM part number?
Yes. Matching the OEM number is strongly recommended.
Primary references:
6F6-85540-00 / 6F6-85540-00-00
If your original CDI carries a different OEM number, verify interchangeability before ordering.
What models or situations does this part not fit?
Do not assume this CDI fits:
Every Yamaha 40HP outboard
Yamaha 40HP 4-stroke engines
Outboards using a different CDI OEM number
CDI units using a different connector configuration
Applications without the matching 8+4 pin arrangement
Modules with different mounting dimensions or wiring
Similar horsepower does not guarantee ignition-system compatibility.
