SAFETY
NOTICE
The safety messages that follow have
NOTICE level hazards.
It is important to perform daily checks as
listed in the Operation Manual. Periodic
maintenance prevents unexpected
downtime, reduces the number of accidents
due to poor engine performance and helps
extend the life of the engine.
See your authorized Yanmar Marine dealer
or distributor if you need to operate the
engine at high altitudes. At high altitudes the
engine will lose power, run rough and
produce exhaust gases that exceed the
design specifications.
ALWAYS be environmentally
responsible.
Follow the guidelines of the
EPA or other governmental
agencies for the proper
disposal of hazardous materials such as
engine oil, diesel fuel and engine coolant.
Consult the local authorities or reclamation
facility.
NEVER dispose of hazardous materials by
dumping them into a sewer, on the ground
or into ground water or waterways.
If a Yanmar Marine engine is installed at an
angle that exceeds the specifications stated
in the Yanmar Marine installation manuals,
engine oil may enter the combustion
chamber, causing excessive engine speed,
white exhaust smoke and serious engine
damage. This applies to engines that run
continuously or those that run for short
periods of time.
If you have an installation with two or three
engines and only one engine is operating,
the water pickup (thru-hull) of the nonrunning engine(s) should be closed. This will
prevent water from being forced past the
seawater pump and eventually finding its
way into the engine. The result of water
entering the engine could cause seizure or
other serious problems.
If you have an installation with two or three
engines, and only one engine is operating,
please note that if the propeller shaft thruhull (stuffing box) is lubricated by engine
water pressure and the engines are
interconnected, care must be taken that
water from the running engine does not
enter the exhaust of the non-running
engine(s). This water could cause seizure of
the non-running engine(s). See your
authorized Yanmar Marine dealer or
distributor for a complete explanation of this
condition.
If you have an installation with two or three
engines, and only one engine is operating,
it is important to limit the amount of throttle
applied to the running engine. If you observe
black smoke or movement of the throttle
does not increase engine rpm, you are
overloading the engine that is running.
Immediately throttle back to approximately
2/3 throttle or to a setting where the engine
performs normally. Failure to do so may
cause the running engine to overheat or
cause excess carbon buildup which may
shorten the engine’s life.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
YANMAR BY-SERIES
FEATURES AND
APPLICATIONS
The BY-series engines are in-line 4- and
6-cylinder direct injection diesel engines.
The engines are turbocharged and
equipped with a liquid cooling system.
These engines are designed for pleasure
craft use.
In order to obtain full performance from your
engine, it is imperative that you check the
size and structure of the hull and use a
propeller of the appropriate size. As new
boats are used, owners add additional
equipment and completely fill the fuel and
water tanks adding to the overall
displacement (weight) of the vessel. Extra
canvas enclosures, bottom paint, and
bottom fouling can add additional hull
resistance. It is recommended that a new
vessel be propped so the engine can
operate at 100 rpm above maximum rpm to
allow for some added weight and hull
resistance. Failure to do so can lead to
reduced vessel performance, increased
smoke levels and cause permanent
damage to your engine.
The engine must be installed correctly with
the seawater or cooling water piping,
exhaust gas piping and electrical wiring. Any
auxiliary equipment attached to the engine
should be easy to use and accessible for
service. To handle the drive equipment,
propulsion systems (including the propeller)
and other on-board equipment, be sure to
observe the instructions and cautions given
in the operation manuals supplied by the
shipyard and equipment manufacturers.
The laws of some countries may require hull
and engine inspections, depending on the
use, size and cruising area of the boat. The
installation, fitting and surveying of this
engine all require specialized knowledge
and engineering skills. See Yanmar's local
subsidiary in your region or your authorized
Yanmar marine dealer or distributor.
This engine is designed for pleasure boat
applications. The engine is designed to be
operated at: maximum throttle for less than
5% of its total operation time (30 minutes out
of every 10 hours). The engine should be
operated at cruising speed (3200 - 3300
rpm) for less than 90% of its total operation
time (9 hours out of every 10 hours).

FUNCTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
Name of Component
Function
Fuel Filter / Water Separator (not supplied by
Yanmar)
Removes dirt and water from the fuel. The filter element should be replaced periodically. See Replacing Fuel Filter / Water Separator Element on page 52.
The water separator should be drained periodically. See Draining the Fuel / Water Separator on page 47.
Fuel Fine Filter
Removes extremely fine contaminants from fuel prior to entering fuel injection
system.
Fuel Feed Pump
Pumps fuel from the tank to the fuel injection system.
Engine Oil Fill Port
To add engine oil.
Engine Oil Filter
Filters fine metal fragments and carbon from the engine oil. Filtered engine oil is
distributed to the engine's moving parts. The filter is a cartridge type and the
element should be replaced periodically. See Changing the Engine Oil and Replacing the Engine Oil Filter on page 48.
Coolant System
There are two cooling systems: 1) closed cooling with coolant and 2) seawater.
The engine is cooled by the closed cooling system. The closed system coolant
is cooled by seawater using a heat exchanger. The seawater also cools the marine gear or power steering oil, and the combustion intake air through cooler(s)
in an open circuit.
Closed Cooling Circulation Pump
The centrifugal coolant pump circulates coolant inside the engine. The circulating
pump is driven by a poly V-belt.
Seawater Pump
Pumps seawater from outside vessel to the engine. The seawater pump is beltdriven and has a replaceable rubber impeller. Avoid impeller damage, do not
operate it without seawater.
Coolant Fill Cap
When the coolant temperature rises, the pressure inside the heat exchanger
increases, causing the pressure valve in the filler cap to open, forcing hot water
and steam through a rubber hose to the coolant recovery tank. When the engine
becomes cool and the pressure inside the coolant recovery tank drops, the vacuum valve in the filler cap opens and the coolant in the coolant recovery tank
returns to the heat exchanger through the hose and filler cap. This minimizes
coolant consumption.
Coolant Recovery Tank
The coolant fill cap valve releases vapor and hot water overflow to the coolant
recovery tank. When the engine stops and the coolant cools, the pressure in the
heat exchanger drops. The fill cap valve then opens to send coolant back from
the coolant recovery tank. This minimizes coolant consumption. The closed
cooling system coolant level can easily be checked and refilled in this tank.
Oil Cooler - Engine
A heat exchanger that cools high temperature engine oil using engine coolant.
Oil Cooler - Hydraulic
A heat exchanger that cools the marine gear oil or power steering fluid using
seawater.
Turbocharger
The turbocharger pressurizes the air coming into the engine. It is powered by a
turbine that is driven by exhaust gases.
Air Filter
The air filter removes dirt from the intake combustion air reducing engine wear.
Nameplates
Nameplates are provided on the engine and the marine gear and have the model,
serial number and other data.

volume, and the timing and volume of fuel injected by the Bosch electronic fuel
injectors. Throttle control is fly-by-wire meaning it is controlled by electric signals
from the helm. The throttle control is either analog or digital depending on the
level of control options installed. The ECU also uses sensor inputs to monitor
engine condition and will set a trouble code if a system or sensor indicates a
problem. In most cases, a Check Engine light will be displayed. The engine may
or may not run normally depending on the fault. Not all inputs are monitored by
the ECU. Low oil pressure and water in fuel are two examples. Either of these
conditions will result in a warning indicator and possible audible alarm. Low oil
pressure will also be indicated by the oil gauge at the helm (not available with
Classic Controls).
Electrical Panel (E-Box)
Circuit Breaker
The electrical panel circuit breaker is installed in the positive (+) cable of the
electrical panel power lead, and provides overload protection for the electrical
panel. The electrical panel power leads must be connected directly to the battery,

DIESEL FUEL
Diesel Fuel Specifications
NOTICE: Only use diesel fuels
recommended by Yanmar for the best
engine performance, to prevent engine
damage and to comply with EPA warranty
requirements. Only use clean diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel should comply with the following
specifications. The table lists several
specifications for diesel fuels.
DIESEL FUEL
SPECIFICATION
LOCATION
No. 2-D, No. 1-D, ASTM
D975-94

EN590:96
European Union
Bio-Diesel Fuels
Yanmar approves the use of bio-diesel fuels
that do not exceed a blend of 5% nonmineral oil based fuel with 95% standard
diesel fuel. Such bio-diesel fuels are known
in the marketplace as B5 bio-diesel fuels. B5
bio-diesel fuel can reduce particulate matter
and the emission of “greenhouse” gases
compared to standard diesel fuel.
NOTICE: If the B5 bio-diesel fuel used does
not meet the approved specifications, it will
cause abnormal wear of injectors, reduce
the life of the engine and it may affect the
warranty coverage of your engine.
B5 diesel fuels must meet certain
specifications
The bio-diesel fuels must meet the minimum
specifications for the country in which they
are used:
Precautions and concerns regarding
the use of bio-fuels:
• Bio-diesel fuels have a higher content of
methyl-esters, which may deteriorate
certain metal, rubber and plastic
components of the fuel system. The
customer and / or boat builder are
responsible to verify the usage of biodiesel compatible components on the
vessel fuel supply and return systems.
• Free water in bio-diesel may result in
plugging of fuel filters and increased
bacterial growth.
• High viscosity at low temperatures may
result in fuel delivery problems, injection
pump seizures, and poor injection nozzle
spray atomization.
• Bio-diesel may have adverse effects on
some elastomers (seal materials) and may
result in fuel leakage and dilution of the
engine lubricating oil.
• Even bio-diesel fuels that comply with a
suitable standard as delivered, will require
additional care and attention to maintain
the quality of the fuel in the equipment or
other fuel tanks. It is important to maintain
a supply of clean, fresh fuel. Regular
flushing of the fuel system, and / or fuel
storage containers, may be necessary.
• The use of bio-diesel fuels that do not
comply with the standards as agreed to by
the diesel engine manufacturers and the
diesel fuel injection equipment
manufacturers, or bio-diesel fuels that
have degraded as per the precautions and
concerns above, may affect the warranty
coverage of your engine.
• In Europe, bio-diesel fuels must comply
with the European Standard EN14214.
• In the United States, bio-diesel fuels must
comply with the American Standard ASTM
D-6751.
Bio-diesel should be purchased only from
recognized and authorized diesel fuel
suppliers.

to 48 or higher.
• The sulfur content must not exceed 0.3%
by volume. Less than 0.05% is preferred.
• Water and sediment in the fuel should not
exceed 0.05% by volume.
• Ash content not to exceed 0.01% by mass.
• Carbon residue content not to exceed
0.35% by volume. Less than 0.1% is
preferred.
• Total aromatics content should not exceed
35% by volume. Less than 30% is
preferred.
• PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)
content should be below 10% by volume.
• NEVER mix kerosene, used engine oil or
residual fuels with the diesel fuel.
• NEVER use Biocide or mix winter and
summer fuels.
• Keep the fuel tank and fuel-handling
equipment clean at all times.
• Poor-quality fuel can reduce engine
performance and / or cause engine
damage.
• Fuel additives are not recommended.
Some fuel additives may cause poor
engine performance. See your authorized
Yanmar marine dealer or distributor for
more information.

BEFORE YOU OPERATE
Filling the Fuel Tank
NOTICE: Operate bilge ventilation
(blowers) for a minimum of 5 minutes to
purge fumes from engine compartment after
refueling. Never operate bilge blower while
refueling. Doing so can pump explosive
fumes into the engine compartment and
result in an explosion.
To Fill the Fuel Tank:
NOTICE: Only fill the fuel tank with diesel
fuel. Filling the fuel tank with gasoline may
result in a fire and will damage the engine.
1. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
2. Remove the fuel cap from the fuel tank
filler port.
3. NOTICE: Hold the hose nozzle firmly
against the filler port while filling. This
prevents static electricity buildup which
could cause sparks and ignite fuel
vapors. Stop fueling when the gauge
shows the fuel tank is full. NOTICE:
NEVER overfill the fuel tank.
4. Replace the fuel cap and hand-tighten.
Over-tightening the fuel cap will
damage it.
Bleeding the Fuel System
The fuel system needs to be bled under the
following conditions:
• Before starting the engine for the first time.
• After running out of fuel and fuel has been
added to the fuel tank.
• After fuel system maintenance, such as
changing the fuel filter and draining the fuel
filter / water separator, or replacing a fuel
system component.
The fuel feed pump is ECU-controlled and
will operate for only 10 seconds when the
key switch is turned ON while the engine is
not running or being started. For this reason,
the key switch must be repeatedly turned
ON then OFF to sufficiently bleed the fuel
system.
1. Turn the key switch on and leave on for
10 seconds. NOTICE: NEVER hold the
key in the START position for longer
than 10 seconds or the starter motor will
overheat.
2. Turn key switch OFF for 5 seconds, then
turn key switch ON for 10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 five more times.
Note: The engine may run rough and misfire
for a few seconds when first started until any
remaining air is purged from the fuel system.
4. Attempt to start the engine. If the engine
does not start within a reasonable time,
repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine
starts and runs. NOTICE: NEVER use
an engine starting aid such as ether.
Engine damage will result.

ENGINE OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTICE
If any indicator illuminates during engine
operation, stop the engine immediately.
Determine the cause and repair the problem
before you continue to operate the engine.
If the alarm window with audible alarm fails
to display and go out about three seconds
later when the ignition switch is in the ON
position, see your authorized Yamar marine
dealer or distributor for service before
operating the engine.
Observe the following environmental
operating conditions to maintain engine
performance and avoid premature engine
wear:
• Avoid operating in extremely dusty
conditions.
• Avoid operating in the presence of
chemical gases or fumes.
• NEVER run the engine if the ambient
temperature is above +40°C (+104°F) or
below -16°C (+5°F).
• If the ambient temperature exceeds +40°C
(+104°F), the engine may overheat and
cause the engine oil to break down.
• If the ambient temperature is below -16°C
(+5°F), rubber components such as
gaskets and seals will harden causing
premature engine wear and damage.
• Contact your authorized Yanmar marine
engine dealer or distributor if the engine
will be operated outside of this standard
temperature range.
NEVER engage the starter motor while the
engine is running. Damage to the starter
motor pinion and / or ring gear will result.
34
NOTICE: If the vessel is equipped with a
water lift (water lock) muffler, excessive
cranking could cause sea water to enter the
cylinders and damage the engine. If the
engine does not start after cranking for 10
seconds, close the thru-hull water intake
valve to avoid filling the muffler with water.
Crank for 10 seconds or until the engine
starts. When the engines does start, stop the
engine immediately and press the switch to
the OFF position.
1. Open the seacock (if equipped).
2. Open the fuel cock.
3. Turn the battery master switch (if
equipped) ON.
4. Put remote control handle in NEUTRAL.
5. Ensure lanyard is connected to
emergency stop switch.
6. Attach lanyard to clothing.
7. Turn key switch to ON. Ensure that the
instrument panel indicators are
powered and working. CAUTION!
NEVER hold the key in the START
position for longer than 10 seconds
or the starter motor will overheat.
8. Turn key switch to START. Release the
key switch when the engine has started.
Note: Once the engine has started, the ECU
will raise the engine speed to 1080 rpm to
start alternator charging, and then reduce to
low idle rpm.
BY Series Operation Manual

ENGINE OPERATION
Starting at Low Temperatures
NOTICE: NEVER use an engine starting aid
such as ether. Engine damage will result.
Comply with local environmental
requirements. Use optional glow plugs (if
equipped) to avoid starting problems and
white smoke.
To limit white smoke, run the engine at low
speed and under moderate load until the
engine reaches normal operating
temperature. A light load on a cold engine
provides better combustion and faster
engine warm-up than no load.
Avoid running the engine at idling speed any
longer than necessary.
SHUTTING DOWN THE
ENGINE
Under normal operating conditions, shut
down the engine by turning the key switch to
OFF.
There will be a delay of up to 3 seconds after
turning the key to OFF. This is normal and
allows the ECU computer to store data. Wait
at least 10 seconds after the engine stops
before turning the battery master switch to
OFF.
Emergency Shut Down
NOTICE: NEVER use the emergency stop
switch for a normal engine shut-down. Use
this switch only when stopping the engine
suddenly in an emergency.
1. Ensure lanyard is connected to the
emergency stop switch.
2. Attach the lanyard to a secure place on
the operator’s clothing or life vest - not
where it might tear away.
NOTICE: Do not cut or re-tie the
lanyard. If it is too long, shorten it by
knotting or looping it. Test the
emergency engine shut off switch
before each outing.
3. Disconnecting the clip from the stop
switch will stop the engine.
NOTICE: Be sure to close the seacock.
Neglecting to close the seacock could allow
water to leak into the boat and may cause it
to sink.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
The Importance of Periodic
Maintenance
Engine deterioration and wear occur in
proportion to the length of time the engine
has been in service and the conditions the
engine is subjected to during operation.
Periodic maintenance prevents unexpected
downtime, reduces the number of accidents
due to poor machine performance and helps
extend the life of the engine.
Keep a Log of Engine Hours and
Daily Checks
Keep a log of the number of hours the engine
is run each day and a log of the daily checks
performed. Also note the date, type of repair
(e.g., replaced alternator), and parts used
for any service needed between the periodic
maintenance intervals. Periodic
maintenance intervals are every 50, 250,
500, 1000 and 2000 engine hours. Failure to
perform periodic maintenance will shorten
the life of the engine.
Yanmar Replacement Parts
Performing Periodic
Maintenance
WARNING! NEVER block windows,
vents, or other means of ventilation if
the engine is operating in an enclosed
area. All internal combustion engines
create carbon monoxide gas during
operation. Accumulation of this gas
within an enclosure could cause illness
or even death. Make sure that all
connections are tightened to
specifications after repair is made to the
exhaust system. Failure to comply could
result in death or serious injury.
The Importance of Daily Checks
Periodic Maintenance Schedules assume
that the daily checks are performed on a
regular basis. Make it a habit of performing
daily checks before the start of each
operating day. See Daily Checks on page
46.
Yanmar recommends that you use genuine
Yanmar parts when replacement parts are
needed. Genuine replacement parts help
ensure long engine life.
Tools Required
Before you start any periodic maintenance
procedure, make sure you have the tools
you need to perform all of the required tasks.
Ask Your Authorized Yanmar
Marine Dealer or Distributor For
Help

TROUBLESHOOTING
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES
When certain faults occur, or when certain
limits have been exceeded, the engine ECU
may generate a “Check Engine” warning or
turn on a check engine light (if equipped).
Some of these faults may also generate a
DTC or Diagnostic Trouble Code and an
audible alarm. If a DTC is generated, the
engine ECU will store that code or codes for
reference. To read the DTC codes, a special
tool is used by the technician. The
technician then can use a list to more quickly
find the cause of the fault and correct it.
64
Some conditions will produce an alarm but
do not generate a trouble code. An example
is engine overheat (over 108°C) caused by
an obstructed seawater inlet. The overheat
alarm will sound and the engine torque will
be reduced to protect the engine, but no
code will be set.
Under some conditions, the warning alarm
will sound until the fault code is checked and
corrected. Under other conditions, the alarm
will be canceled if the engine is turned off
and then restarted.
For further information, please contact your
authorized Yanmar distributor or dealer.

LONG-TERM STORAGE
If the engine is not to be used for an
extended period of time, special measures
should be taken to protect the coolant
system, fuel system and combustion
chambers from corrosion and the exterior
from rusting. It is recommended that you see
your authorized Yanmar marine dealer or
distributor to prepare the engine for longterm storage.
The engine can normally stand idle for up to
six months. If it remains unused for longer
than this, please contact your authorized
Yanmar marine dealer or distributor.
Winter Storage
Drain water from fuel tank and fuel filters
before and after extended storage.
To reduce the risk of condensation in the fuel
tank during winter storage, fill the tank with
fuel and treat with diesel fuel stabilizer.
PREPARE ENGINE FOR
LONG-TERM STORAGE
NOTICE: Do not drain closed cooling
system for long-term storage. Antifreeze
must be used to avoid freezing and
damaging of components. Antifreeze will
prevent rusting during long-term storage.
1. Change engine oil and filter.
2. Drain seawater cooling system. See
Draining the Seawater Cooling System
on page 70.
3. Wipe off any dust or oil from the outside
of the engine.
4. Drain fuel tank or fill the tank to prevent
condensation.
5. Grease the exposed areas and joints of
the remote control cables and the
bearings of the remote control handle.
6. Seal the intake silencer, exhaust pipe,
etc. to prevent moisture or
contamination from entering engine.
7. Completely drain bilge in hull bottom.
8. Waterproof the engine room to prevent
rain or seawater from entering.
9. Charge the battery once a month to
compensate for battery’s selfdischarge.
10. Remove key from key switch and cover
key switch with moisture cap (if
equipped).

LONG-TERM STORAGE
Draining the Seawater Cooling
System
CAUTION! DO NOT drain the coolant
system. A full coolant system will
prevent corrosion and frost damage.
CAUTION! If seawater is left inside of the
engine, it may freeze and damage parts
of the cooling system when the ambient
temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
NOTICE: If water fails to drain from any open
drain cock or port, remove the cock
completely and probe the opening with a
small piece of wire to loosen debris.
(2)
1. Open the lower seawater drain cock
(Figure 1, (3)) located in the piping
between the seawater pump and
hydraulic oil cooler. Allow to drain.
2. Open the drain cock (Figure 1, (4)) on
the bottom of the charge air cooler.
3. Remove the seawater pump cover. See
your authorized Yanmar dealer or
distributor.
4. Remove zinc anodes from the heat
exchanger (Figure 1, (2)) and charge
air cooler (Figure 1, (1)) and allow
water to drain from housings.
5. Inspect condition of zinc anodes. Install
anodes. See Replacing the Zinc
Anodes on page 53. NOTICE: Do not
use thread sealer or thread sealing tape
when installing zinc anodes. Anodes
must make good metal-to-metal contact
to perform properly.
6. Close all drain cocks.

WARNING! NEVER drain the seawater
cooling system if the engine is hot.
Steam and hot fluid will escape and
seriously burn you. Allow the engine to
cool before attempting to opening the
drain cocks.

Yanmar warrants to the first user and each
subsequent purchaser the emission control
system on your engine for periods of time
listed below provided the engine has been
installed according to Yanmar installation
requirements and there has been no abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance of your
Yanmar marine engine.
Yanmar warrants that the engine is
designed, built and tested using genuine
parts and equipped so as to conform to all
applicable emission requirements of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and
is free from defects in material and
workmanship which would cause this
engine to fail to conform to the applicable
emission regulations over its limited
emission control system warranty period.
Where a warrantable emissions condition
exists, Yanmar will repair your engine at no
charge to you for diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Warranty service or repair will be provided
at authorized Yanmar marine dealers or
distributors.
It is recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or
replacement of emission control systems
are Yanmar parts. The owner may elect to
have maintenance, replacement or repair of
the emission control components and
systems performed by any repair
establishment or individual and may elect to
use parts other than Yanmar parts for such
maintenance, replacement or repair.
However, the cost of such service or parts
and subsequent failures from such service
