Name of part Function

Fuel filter Removes dust and water from fuel. The internal element (filter) should bechanged periodically. A water separator is on the bottom of the filter and should be drainedperiodically.

Fuel priming pump This is a manual fuel pump. Moving the knob on the top of the fuel filterfeeds the fuel. The pump is also used to bleed air from the fuel system.

Fuel feed pump This is a mechanical pump used to feed fuel to the fuel injection pump. It isbuilt into the fuel injection pump.

Filler port (engine) Filler port for engine lube oil.

Filler port (marine gear) Filler port for marine gear lube oil.

Dipstick (Lube oil) Gauge stick for determinining the level of the engine and marine gear oil.

Lube oil filter Filters fine metal fragments and carbon from the lube oil.Filtered lube oil is distributed to the engine’s moving parts.

Cooling System Seawater passes through the heat exchanger cooling the fresh water,which in turn cools the engine.

Fresh water cooling

Fresh water pump There are two cooling systems: fresh water and seawater.The fresh water pump is run by the alternator and the V-belt.

Fresh water cooling The fresh water in the fresh water cooler is fed to the engine by the freshwater pump. The cooling fresh water returns to the engine after it is cooledwith seawater in the fresh water cooler.

Filler cap The filler cap on the cooling water tank covers the water supply port. Thecap has a pressure regulating valve. When the cooling water temp. rises,the pressure rises inside the fresh water cooler.

Subtank The pressure regulating valve releases vapor and hot water overflow to thesubtank.

Oil cooler (engine oil) This heat exchanger cools high temp. engine oil with seawater.

Oil cooler (clutch oil) This heat exchanger cools high temp. clutch oil with seawater.

Turbocharger With the pressurized intake air feeding device the exhaust gas turbine isrotated by exhaust gas, and the power is used to rotate the blower.This pressurizes the intake air for sending to the cylinder gives high poweroutput.

Intercooler This heat exchanger cools the pressurized intake air from theturbocharger with seawater and further compresses it.

Intake air silencer This is the air intake silencer. The silencer guards against dirt in the air andreduces the noise of air intake.

Name plate Name plates are provided on the engine and the marine gear and have themodel, serial number and other data.

Starter Starter motor for the engine. Powered by the battery.

Alternator Rotates by belt drive, generates electricity and charges the battery.

2.5.2 Remote Control Handle

(1) Morse Type Option This remote control system uses a singlehandle to operate marinegear-clutch-(neutral, forward, reverse) and to control theengine speed.

NEUTRAL: Power to the propeller shaft iscut off and the engine idles.FWD (FORWARD)REV (REVERSE)

The handle controls the course of the boat(ahead or astern) and, at the same time,acts as an accelerator increasing the enginespeed as it is pushed further in the FWD orREV direction. If the handle is pulled out,engine speed can be controlled withoutengaging the clutch (clutch remains in theNEUTRAL, no load position).

Yanmar recommends the use of asingle-lever type for the remote con-trol lever. If only the two-lever type isavailable in the market, operate theengine at 1000 rpm or lower beforeengaging and disengaging the marinegear-clutch.

(3) Handling the Lube Oil1) When handling and storing lube oil, be

careful not to allow dust and water toenter the lube oil. Clean around thefilter port before refilling.

2) Do not mix lube oils of different typesor brands. Mixing may cause thechemical characteristics of the lube oilto change and lubricating performanceto drop, reducing the engine’s life. Before supplying lube oil to the engineand marine gear for the first time,extract all the lube oil already in thetank. Use new lube oil.

3) Lube oil supplied to the engine willundergo natural degeneration with timeeven when the engine is not used.Lube oil should be replaced at thespecified intervals, regardless ofwhether the engine is being used ornot.

3.1.3 Cooling Water

It is important to check the cooling waterdaily. Be sure to use clean soft water (tapwater) for cooling fresh water.

Be sure to add antirust or antifreezeto cooling fresh water. In cold seasons, the antifreeze isespecially important. Without antirust, cooling performancewill drop due to scale and rust in thecooling water system. Withoutantifreeze, cooling water will freezeand expand, breaking various parts.For your reference, antifreeze mixedwith antirust is now available in themarket.

Handling of Cooling Water1. Choose antirust which will not have any

adverse effects on the materials (castiron, aluminum, copper, etc.) of theengine’s fresh water cooling system.

2. Use the proper mixing ratio of antirustto fresh water strictly as instructed bythe antirust maker.

3. Replace the cooling water periodically,according to the maintenance schedulegiven in this operation manual.

4. Remove the scale from the coolingwater system periodically, according tothe instructions in this operationmanual.

5. Use the proper mixing ratio ofantifreeze to fresh water strictly, asinstructed by the antifreeze maker. Iftoo much antifreeze is used, the coolingperformance of the cooling water willdrop and the engine may becomeoverheated.

6. Do not mix different brands of antirustor antifreeze. Chemical reactions may make theantifreeze or antirust useless andengine trouble could result.

Excessive use of antifreeze alsolowers the cooling efficiency ofthe engine. Be sure to use themixing ratios specified by theantifreeze maker for your temper-ature range.

4.1 General Inspection Rules

Conduct Periodic Inspection for YourSafety.The functions of engine components willdegenerate and engine performance willdrop according to the use of the engine. Ifcountermeasures are not taken, you mayencounter unexpected troubles whilecruising at sea. Consumption of fuel orlube oil may become excessive andexhaust gas and engine noise mayincrease. These all shorten the life of theengine. Daily and periodic inspection andservicing increase your safety at sea.

Inspect Before Starting.Make it a daily rule to inspect beforestarting. (See 3.3.1)

Periodic Inspections at Fixed Intervals.Periodic inspections must be made afterevery 50 hrs., every 250 hrs (1 yr.), every500 hrs. (2 yrs.), every 1000 hrs. (4 yrs.) ofuse. Conduct periodic inspectionsaccording to the procedures described inthis Operation Manual.

Use Genuine Parts.Be sure to use genuine parts for consumable and replacement parts. Use of other parts will reduce engineperformance and shorten the life of theengine.

Consult Your YANMAR Dealer orDistributor.Specialized technicians are ready to assistyou with periodic inspections and mainte-nance. Consult your YANMAR dealer ordistributor in accordance with the serviceagreement.

Servicing ToolsPrepare servicing tools onboard to beready for inspecting and servicing theengine and other equipment.

Tightening Torque of Bolts & NutsOver-tightening of bolts and nuts causesthem to come off or their threads to bedamaged. Insufficient tightening causes oilleakage from the installation face ortroubles due to the loosening of bolts.Bolts and nuts must be tightened to theappropriate tightening torque. Importantparts must be tightened with a torquewrench to the correct tightening torqueand in the right order. Consult with yourdealer or distributor if the servicingrequires the removal of such parts.

The standard tightening torque forstandard bolts & nuts is listed below.

NOTICE

Apply the following tightening torque to bolts having “7” on the head. (JIS strengthclassification: 7T) Tighten bolts with no “7” mark to 60% tightening torque.If the parts to be tightened are made from light alloy aluminum, tighten the bolts to 80%tightening torque.

The capacities of the standardalternator and the recommendedbattery assume only the powernecessary for regular operation. If the power is also used for inboardlighting or other purposes, thegenerating and charging capacitiesmay be insufficient. In such cases,consult your Yanmar dealer ordistributor.

4.3.3 Inspection Every 250 hours.

(1) Replace the engine oil and theclutch lube oil.

After the second oil change, the engine oilshould be replaced after every 250 hours.

(2) Replacing the Engine Oil and LubeOil Filter

(See 4.3.1(1))

(3) Adjusting the Remote Control CableThe various control levers on the engineside are connected to the remote controllever by the remote control cable. Thecable will become stretched and theattachments loose after long hours of usecausing deviation. It is dangerous tocontrol operation under these conditions,and the remote control cable must bechecked and adjusted periodically.

A) Adjusting the Governor Remote ControlCable

Check to see that the control lever on theengine side moves to the high speed boltposition and low speed bolt position whenthe remote control lever is moved to H (high speed) and L (low speed) respec-tively.When there is deviation, loosen thebracket for the remote control cable on theengine side and adjust.

(2) Electric Operation

Fire due to Electric Short-Circuits

Battery

Battery Fluid

Before inspecting the electrical system,be sure either to turn off the batteryswitch or to disconnect the (-) terminalof the earth cable. Otherwise, a short-circuit could cause a fire.Ensure good ventilation when chargingthe battery. The use of open flames isstrictly prohibited. Hydrogen gas mayalso catch fire.Battery fluid is diluted sulfuric acid. Itcan blind you or burn your eyes or skin.Wear goggles and gloves when handlingbattery fluid. Should the fluid bedeposited on your skin, wash with alarge quantity of fresh water and seektreatment from a doctor.

1) If operation continues with insufficientbattery fluid, the battery will be destroyed.Check the fluid level periodically. If thelevel is lower than specified, resupplybattery fluid (available in the market) up tothe upper limit of the battery.(Battery fluid tends to evaporate in hightemperatures, especially in summer. Insuch cases, inspect the battery earlier thanspecified.)

2) If the engine speed will not rise and theengine cannot be started, measure thespecific gravity with a pycnometre (avail-able in the market).The specific gravity of the fluid when fullycharged is over 1.27(at 20°C).Fluid with a specific gravity of below 1.24needs charging.

(7) Inspecting Inner Parts of the Sea-water Pump

Depending on the use, the inside parts ofthe seawater pump deteriorate and dis-charge performance drops. At thespecified interval or when the volume ofseawater discharged is reduced, inspectthe seawater pump in accordance with thefollowing procedures:

1. Loosen the side cover set bolts andremove the side cover.

2. Illuminate the inside of the seawaterpump with a flashlight and inspect.

3. If any of the following problems isfound, disassembly and maintenanceare necessary:

a) Impeller blades are cracked or nicked.Edges or surfaces of the blades aremarred or scratched.

Note: The impeller must be replacedperiodically (every 1000 hrs.).

b) Wear plate is damaged.

4. If no damage is found when inspectingthe inside of the pump, reassemble theside cover.Fit the O-ring to the groove of the jointface before replacing the side cover.If a large amount of water leakscontinuously from the water drain pipebeneath the seawater pump duringoperation, disassembly and maintenance(replacement of the oil seal) arenecessary.When disassembly and maintenance ofthe seawater pump are necessary, con-sult your Yanmar dealer or distributor.

The seawater pump turns in thecounterclockwise direction, but theimpeller must be installed by turningin the clockwise direction. If theimpeller has been removed for anyreason and must be reassembled, bevery careful not to make a mistakeand turn it in the wrong direction.Additionally, if the engine is beingturned manually, be careful to turn itin the correct direction. Incorrectturning will twist the impeller anddamage it.

(8) Washing the Turbocharger Blower When engine revolution seems sluggish orthe exhaust colour poor, the blades of theturbocharger blower may be dirty. Washthe blower in the following manner:

1. Have ready blower wash (liquiddetergent), fresh water, and a smallpitcher.

2. Put the clutch in neutral and run theengine at high speed (2500~3000rpm).

3. Slowly pour approximately 50cc ofblower wash into the turbochargersuction inlet over a period of about 10 seconds.

Do not pour in a large amount ofblower wash at one time (pour it ingradually) as this can damage theblower blades and get water hammerin the combustion chamber leading toaccidents.

4. After about 3 minutes, pour inapproximately 50cc of fresh water in thesame manner over a period of about 10 seconds.
