Looking at repowering an older boat with a new 40hp tiller. I plan on using it intermittently in winter, wondering if anyone has any thoughts on which brand might make this a little easier as far as maintenance and winterization is concerned

Best 40hp for winter use

The new motors being 4 strokes are real easy to maintain. I also have a 40 hp and in the winter it starts every time it more comes down to good gas, a good battery and good plugs. As far as brands I'd stick with mercury or Yamaha assuming your getting brand new. Also if your going from a 2 stroke to a 4 stroke 40 hp there going to weigh more than the old motor just something to consider. Mine differed by like 20 lbs.
