  2. Yanmar Transmission Mount Fabrication

    E32-200 Yanmar Transmission Mount Fabrication

    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...

    Misadventures of a new diesel owner

    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...

    YSM8 Oil Leak

    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...

    Ericson 27/ Yanmar 2gm prop size

    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

    Yanmar YSB-8 RPM to speed

    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?

    Universal diesel--as good as a Yanmar?

    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...
