For a Yanmar 3GM30F diesel sailboat engine, a mounting bracket is necessary to provide a fixed point aft of the transmission to which the cable controlling forward and reverse can be mounted.
After about 30 years, mine had given up the ghost, with the lower cable clamp mounting hole corroding...
Dear Forum Members,
Unfortunately our 1979 E30 2, located in Nyack, NY on the Hudson River broke away from her mooring and beached during Isaias. She is sunken, I don't yet know whether if there is hull damage and if so how big. She has a Yanmar 2GM20F in good shape that I just worked on and...
Hey, did you know these boats actually sail too? You wouldn’t know it watching me over my first 4 months of ownership, but we were finally able to take Segue (soon to be renamed) out for the day.
I had a small scare when I went below to find the new exhaust riser smoking a bit when I was...
New to the forum! Sea trial tomorrow, survey Monday! We are a young couple with ambitions of sailing the world. After looking at 15 boats (new and old), we found an immaculate 38-200 for sale. New to sailing, though we've owned five power boats from 20' to 30', including a Sea Ray that I just...

Hello All
My Atomic 4 seized and was recently taken out of 73 E27. I have a Yanmar one cylinder YSB8 diesel in good condition complete with transmission, exhaust, gauges, controls, etc. It was taken out of Hunter 27 years ago. The engine is in good shape and runs well. I am thinking of using it...
I have a used Yanmar 2GM20, Fresh water cooled engine. Bought it to install in my 1970 E-30, but bought an E-38 instead. Now parting out the E-30, so the engine is for sale. along with 4 Yanmar motor mounts and Yanmar Panel.
$2,500 for all. I will throw in 3/4" steel plates I had fabricated...
I have a YSM8 engine that appears to be leaking oil. It seems to leak only when running but I haven't completely ruled out a slow constant leak. The bottom of the engine sat in fresh (rain) water for an unknown but probably long period of time leading me to believe that one or more gaskets could...
Hi, I'm looking to replace our exisiting 3 blade prop with a 2 blade. I think the 3 blade is too small as the boat barely powers at 4 3/4 knots. No tachometer on the boat though. Anyone have this boat and 2 cylinder diesel with a gear ratio of 2.62? Is hull speed about 5.5 knots?
Thanks, David
Just ran across this interesting piece of information and remembering several old threads on the subject of gear selection when sailing thought it worth posting here.
Yanmar states the you transmission must be in neutral when you are sailing with the engine off. See attached PDF for their...
Here is the link to Yanmar's YSB8 diesel engine manual

Thanks to Niels Ulrik Blaabjerg for sending it to me originally.
I finally installed a Tiny-tach to get an idea of the RPM being turned by my YSB-8. It looks like around 2500rpm at 4.5kts on average on my E-27. I believe the max rpm on the YSB-8 is somewhere around 3200rpm. Does all this sound about right?
Hi folks, first post to this awesome forum.
We've been boatless for 10 years, and it's high time for another. Our first boat was an E27, we cruised her lots on the BC coast including a 5-month lazy liveaboard sabbatical. We've had other nice boats since, including a lovely Alberg 37, but the...
Parting out a 2GM20 engine. Head and Block were both Magged and are clean, no cracks etc. Transmission, starter, alternator and on and on and on. If you need ANY parts for your 2GM20 send me a list and make me an offer. I didn't rebuild due to gears, cam and injection fuel pump (maybe...
It has been almost a year since my big overhaul of the steering quadrant in our 1974 E32-2. Steering is working great now. We thought we were done until......Blown engine!
We pulled the Yanmar 2GM20 Raw water out to replace what we thought was a bad head gasket. Well it was bad, but one...
For those of you with a Yanmar YSM 8 or 12 Diesel I found a link online to the service and maintenance manual.

If someone can tell me how to upload this I am more than happy to create .pdf's to add to the "specs and documentation" section on this...
I am repowering C-ya in preparation for a long salmon troll season to be followed by a lap around the north Pacific. My Yanmar still runs great but the reduction gear is pretty tired and the raw water pump is seeping. Considering the heavy use I'll be putting C-ya to, I've decided to go brand...
I have a Yanmar 2QM20H which needs a KBW10 2.14 to 1 reduction gear in the worst way! Does anyone know where to get one? Are there any companies that rebuild them?
Not knowing much about diesel engines when I bought my boat earlier this year, and as is probably typical of many of us sailors, I focused more on the condition of the hull, rigging, woodwork, instrumentation and sails than I did on the diesel motor, other than to note that it started easily...

Strong runner taken from a clients E35-2. He put in a 3GM for more speed. This diesel is ready to go but has no panel. My mechanic installed it new about 10 yrs ago, maintained it yearly and pulled it for the new one. Could use new mounts and a clean up. It is the 16 hp version with 2:1...
I have a YSB 8 that I removed for re-engine one year ago. It has been sitting around the garage since then. The engine was running but needs to be overhauled or used for parts. The cylinder and/ or piston rings or all three are worn and oil gets by the rings into the cumbustion chamber. It...

Bill,
I am in the process of building a new engine bed for the Universal M4-30
on a 74' E35-II. Would appreciate any pics or drawings of your Yanmar
3GM installation
I am starting with (2) 24" - 2" SS angle stringers. (1) attached to the port
engine mounts and (1) to a new starboard foot...
The saga of the stumbling Yanmar 3GM30F It all started about 5 years ago. For the first 10 years we owned Jessie I changed the Racor fuel filters regularly and life was good. I was unaware that there was a filter on the engine and had never fussed with it you see. Then came the load of very...
I have a 1978 Yanmar YSB-8 in my E-27. I ordered the owners manual from Torrenson's but that is really of little use. I am searching for the service or maintenance manual. Can anyone help me?

White smoke and un burnt fuel slick from my Yanmar at higher RPMs
I have a little 8 HP Yanmar 1GM10. As you may know it is easy to bump the throttle up in the cockpit of a E-27. I had a crew member accidentally kick it up to over 3000 rpm and soon after it started knocking and I noticed...

I got a real yanmar manual from Richard for my 1GM. He was real good about returning email on availability and price. Austrailian dude.
