Yanmar 3YM30AE – Inboard Marine Diesel Engine 29 HP
An expanded 1.266L displacement profile gives the Yanmar 3YM30AE diesel powerplant reliable low-end grunt in tight engine compartments, driving SD25 saildrives or KM2P-1 cone clutches with 125 Amps charging at 280 lbs.
- 1.266L displacement delivers steady idling torque
- 125-Amp alternator rapidly charges domestic batteries
- SD25 saildrive ensures streamlined hull integration
- 280-lb lightweight build minimizes transom settling
With 29 hp at 3,200 rpm, the Yanmar 3YM30AE uses a naturally aspirated 1.266L inline three-cylinder marine diesel layout with indirect injection. Its 19.1:1 compression ratio and ISO 8217 DMA diesel requirement define the stated fuel-system configuration. A mechanical cone-clutch transmission, SAE 5 flywheel housing, and KM2P-1 or SD25 saildrive compatibility establish the documented propulsion interfaces.
The 280-pound dry engine uses a 12V 125-amp alternator, heat-exchanger cooling with 4.9L coolant capacity, and forced lubrication holding 2.8L oil. The wet mixing elbow forms part of the exhaust arrangement. Listed EPA Tier 3, RCD II, and BSO II ratings, plus mechanical or hydraulic steering compatibility, provide further specification context.
Why Choose the Yanmar 3YM30AE Marine Diesel Engine
The 3YM30AE marine diesel engine combines 29 hp at 3,200 rpm with a naturally aspirated 1.266L three-cylinder indirect-injection configuration. Buyers comparing compact propulsion packages can assess its 12V 125-amp alternator, mechanical cone-clutch transmission, SAE 5 flywheel housing, and KM2P-1 or SD25 saildrive compatibility. The 280-pound dry weight and listed emissions ratings provide additional integration data.
