Yanmar 3GM30 major DIY engine service. (Learning By Doing Ep 116)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Its time for my Yanmar 3GM30 engine to get some love. We're in Sorong stocking up prior to leaving Raja Ampat and I decide its a good time to do a major service. I dismantle the whole cooling system, clean and replace all filters and check and adjust the valve clearances.
Enjoy.

much enjoyed.
the photos at the end were spectacular and the music was a nice choice to accompany.
thnx for another fine show.
Many thanks!
Good job!! People, well most, don't realize how much we work on this stuff. Thanks for taking me alongm
Yes we do
What I mean is simply,, you're freakin awesome!!! Way too wordy on the last. Hey,, i finally got a boat!! Thanks for inspiration!!!
@@mickeyfactory ah wow, congrats! What did you get?
@@SailingLearningByDoing I bought an S2 9.2 its a 1983 model. Needs some work, but I'm very excited and up for it. Yall be safe.
Had exact the same engine in my last boat. Not a single problem in nine years. Be kind to it and it will be kind to you in many years. :)
Stunning pictures, as usual.
Thanks for sharing
I've said it before but heck, I do like your photography
Thank you sir.
Your still photo's were breathtaking! Angle framing via drone adds the brush, stroke per se, of emotion to the picture that grabs the eye to pause and take in all the beauty captured in that single shot. Thanks and fair winds.
Thanks.
Might consider checking and maybe replacing your raw water anode in the block. Supposed to be checked every 500 I think. It’s in the block under the exhausted manifold to the right of the lift pump. Big nut. Can see it around 14:15min.
Sold that boat a few months ago, now I have 2 engines to worry about.
I am envious of your engine access. Great video!
Yeah I love that, compared to my last boat its amazing.
Excellent as always Vern and Marie, love to you both.
Thank you so much!
I’m phobic with engines being the least mechanical man on the planet. Watching you makes engine maintenance more approachable. Thanks. Smooth sailing.
Thanks Tom. Theres really nothing to be afraid of apart from getting grease and oil over everything. In the beginning just dont attempt anything major when far away from a chandlery or mechanic.
You, Vernon , are a master at photography - thank you for the video -
My pleasure!
Just one thing , in the heat exchanger core , there is a small hole at one end , this has to go back in the same position it came out to allow air to escape
Yep, thanks David, I realised that after I'd got it half put back together.
Looking good you two. You can work fine with no torque wrench, just bring them down to German specification-goodntight. Cheers!
Thanks for the tip!
@@SailingLearningByDoing If the bolt starts to make sounds, its torqued. (slightly overtorqued)
When a gasket or seal is what you need to srew down, then know that you have to screw every bolt croswise and redo that a few times.
After a good use of the motor, check all those bolts again, after the gasket had time to compress.
Yanmar makes great engines!
Yep, I think so too.
My 44 hp Yanmar 4JHE are mounted original in my "new build" Swedish sailboat in 1985. I'm the second owner.
Still running like new. I had her from late 1999 and the performance and quality is good. I also have a second boat under build and I think it will be a 3 cylinder Yanmar like you have. Thanks for shearing and a very good and educational vlog.
Stay safe.
Nice job
Take care
What awesome engine access!
Lucky bugger. 🤣
Yeah mazing eh? My last boat I thought had ok access but now I realise that this boat is very nice to do engine work on.
This was great! Thank you. Wish I had the access to my 3GM that you do. I’m about to clean my heat exchanger this up coming weekend.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic video...as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome slideshow in this one 👍
Glad you like it
Beautiful photography guys.
Thanks so much!
Dirty diesels love clean air and fuel! Another sunning video mate. Love the stills and the Ken Burns cropping. The half and half still was a classic shot well executed. Wish we had your photographic skills (and subs too 😁). The rare earth (neodymium) magnet to the oil filter is a top tip we give folks to keep any microscopic metal particles in the filter and the oil cleaner may be something to look at? Cheap as chips on ebay or Amazon. Just keep them away from you compass and autopilot compass. Top video, thanks for sharing. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
Thanks guys. Have never heard of using a magnet on the oil filter, makes sense I guess.
Brilliant still photographs at the end.
Thanks Adrian
Hi Vernon are you still planning to travel south to Timor. I live in Rote and would be keen to meet you.Coming here is all cool during the covid times. I also have a lot of contacts in Kupang if you need transport or help with immigration etc. I've done some similar sailing adventures as yourself but on a small Wharram Pahi catamaran. I've lived in Nemberala for a bit over 14 years now and when people's lives start return to some kinda normality I'm keen to purchase a mono haul similar to yours. The difference between camping and living in a small apartment when sailing. I like what you are doing with recording and sharing your experiences as I can relate to and showing people as it is to travel/live on a yacht. Cheers Dave
G'day Dave. Our videos are about 2 months behind real-time, we are right now in Flores, Riung area. We looked at going further south and heard really good things about Rote but decided to stay on the north side of the islands as my mainsail is not in good condition and I want to sty out of the tradewinds till I get a new one made and shipped. We are planning on staying around Lombok till Dec maybe and then sailing back eat when the seasons change so maybe we'll visit Rote then.
No worries mate I’ve been thinking how far behind your videos are to real time. Savu is a good anchorage with alot of cool things to see on the island. Anyway hopefully some day you sail by Rote. April is usually a safe time to sail back in these areas. Take care and cheers.
This comes as no surprise, Vernon The Handyman strikes again. Leave whatever machine near him, he'll fix it.
Or ruin it.
Wow that engine looks beautiful, clean. good job on the seasonal upkeep. dont forget the raw water impeller and pump.
Thanks! Will do!
I like seeing the whole experience, I want to do the same the day after I retire so it’s cool seeing it all👍👍
Cheers Chad, yeah its not all fun and games.
Don‘t wait until retirement!
Wow! Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Raja Ampat looks amazing...I'm definitely visiting!! Another cool video mate!! Cool seeing the photo collage at the end again, it's your trademark!
Thanks a ton! Yep Raja should be on any sailors list.
GSV.= Good Stuff Vern. If your mech skills are half as good as your photo skills that motor will go the distance.
Thanks.
Marie's reaction to you calling your engine a "she" is priceless :) I'm with Marie in this one. It's always seemed weird to me that we call boats, cars, etc. "she". That said, maybe you should call the engine "him" to please Marie - as it is "le moteur" in French after all :)
I told her when she owns a boat she can call it what she wants.
thanks for all the beautiful photos :)
Glad you like them!
Great video, thanks for showing the cleaning of the heat exchanger. I wanted to see the diesel filter change and priming the fuel injection system. Maybe next time?
Thanks, yeah run out of time in the video for the diesel filter stuff, figured most people do that themselves anyway. Another time.
Now that you have done a complete heat exchange removal make it easier on yourself next time and back flush the system with a pump attached to the raw water system at the mixing elbow and just after the raw water pump. Use barnacle buster in a bucket with a cheap bilge pump. Great photos at the end.
Thanks for the tip.
@10.48 you say your feeler gauge is 2mm, think you mean 0.2mm??
yeah exactly right.
Great stuff.
Thanks!
I had a 3GM30F in my C&C 35 before I repowered with a Beta 25. The cost of a rebuild was going to far exceed the cost of a new motor. I had the fuel injectors rebuilt professionally and purchased a number of new parts that were never used.
I plan to sell them on ebay. If interested in anything let me know.
No worries either way.
Hi Al. Yeah I might be interested. Where is your location? I'm currently in Indonesia and anything that gets shipped here gets taxed through the roof. I'll be leaving Indo next year though so maybe it would be worth it. Shipping sometimes costs more then buying locally. Hit me up by email and we can discuss further. info@vernondeck.com
Thanks
So bolt torque on the heat exchanger is approximately 0.5 ugga duggas. Got you. :)
Also as a side note Un monde sans hiver est un podcast sans contrôle du volume. You wait patiently for it to load. You press play. All of the volumes escape from your speakers at once. Panic! Look for the volume control. Mute the podcast. Look more extensively for the volume control. There is no volume control. It's a trip to Spotify to listen. Which is a lot of steps. Anchor needs to up their game. A volume control for a site that distributes nothing but audio is kind of expected. Marie should email them.
Yeah the right amount is just before you bugger the threads.
Told Marie about your Anchor issues.
No anodes to be replaced (3GM30 is supposed to be raw water?)?
No anodes on this engine, just 1 in the sail drive
nice one
Thanks
YES! Exactly how im doing maintenance, ok i have to remove these screws, then the hoses, oh there is a clip right there aaaand yes its off, shoot where do i put that thing.
Honey! wheres my bucket :P
PS: Marie good job on the editing, much easier to watch :)
Learning ByDoing right?
@@SailingLearningByDoing Exactly! Take care!
2mm valve lash seems a bit big for a tiny little engine mate?
Yes indeed! A few others commented the same, 0.2
Nice vid! Subscribed and liked now. 🍻✌️❤️⛵
Thanks for the sub! I hope you'll also enjoy some of my other videos.
@@SailingLearningByDoing I definitely will! I'm starting a project yacht she is in marina and the engine has not been run for 2-3 years as far as I know. Getting the growth off the prop and bottom. I'm hoping there is no or very little osmosis! I can't haul out until after wet season (Darwin Australia). I really like diy and cannot afford to get someone else to do it.
I want to know about antifoul, batteries, solar, electrical, wind turbine, rudder stock.
I have the same engine as yours so this really helped.
I know I'll need an electrician but I can at least rewire and have it ready for him. And same as engine. I'd like to be able to do the simple stuff.
I saw a full yanmar restore kit on alibaba for around $400-800 aus I might get it and just do the impeller, exchanger and simple service for now...
Thanks again!
@@jacobfirst2365 yeah Jacob, thats the spirit! Fixing up your own boat can be frustrating and time consuming but you really get to know every single system and how to fix them. I learnt so much with my first boat.. If you have any questions that you think I could help with hit me up here. info@vernondeck.com
Have you done any service to your engine starter motor?
nope, never. What can yo0u service on that?
Went to Ross haven marine in TSV the other day and saw yer old rig “live life” on the hard stand, she’s looking a bit battered! 😊
Yeah the guy who brought it off me never used it and didn't know how to sail. Its just been sold to a young couple and they contacted me to ask many questions. Seems like the hauled out and got the hull sorted and are now back in the water doing other bits and bobs. Good luck to em, she a great first boat.
Nice one. Just an observation, (I am a diesel mech) When you fired up after doing the exchanger, there seemed to be a lot of lateral movement from the motor, are your engine mountings ok? Thanks for the videos.
Hey Jack, yeah it does rock and roll a bit on cranking and when the engine stops. Its has a sail drive and its all mounted on rubber so its a bit flexible for sure. No idea if it more than normal but it hasn't changed since I brought the boat and seems to be working fine.
@@SailingLearningByDoing I would just get down there and check them for cracks when you have a moment. Get someone to push on the motor side to side when you can see the mounts. All the best.
Hi Vernon and Marie, Always like your vids. Since you said it was your first time cleaning the heat exchanger I was wondering if you put it back the correct way? It should have the little hole at the top centre and the two large holes at the bottom. Cheers, André
Thanks for watching. I cant remember to be honest. I did study it for a while and tried it a few ways so I'm pretty confident its good. Been using the engine for a month now since then and the temps are normal so...
@@SailingLearningByDoing Good to hear Vernon. It would be good to check it. If they are out of alignment they will cause problems. André
what acid did you use?
Hydrochloric acid, 17%
Very interesting thanks. Would you please make a video with end to end steps on how to wire up a new device say a fan or light to the switch panel. Assume no prior experience.
Thanks. If you look through my channel you'll see there are not many maintenance or build videos. Its because I dont enjoy doing this sort of thing. The reason I brought a very simple boat is that there is less to break and less to fix. I enjoy sailing and exploring the places I sail too. But yeah, if and when things come up I'll try to film them a bit more often.
where you off to?
heading south and west, direction Lombok but visiting lots of places along the way.
haha, dirty work, what was the last time it was cleaned?
First time in many years for the heat exchanger Id say.
Good episode! I love the mix.
Have you thought about publishing calendars? Great pictures!
Thanks Sven. I used to make a calendar each year but stoped about 10 years ago as no-one seems to use them anymore.
I have a calendar with aerial photographs by Yann Arthus-Bertrand hanging in my office. Perhaps you can make some nice photographs available for your patreons so they can make their own calendars with them...?
Yup engine maintenance a necessary chore. Good to practice and do it efficiently. Reassuring. Would like to see the front end too - strainer, fuel filters, pumps, oil level, daily checks. Great stills. Offer as screen saver files to download ?. Music had a crackly problem for me (resolution too low ?). Curious what spares you carry.
Cheers Alex. Yeah another time, ran out of time to show the filter changing.
excellent your videos! Could you tell me how much that new motor comes out? because I'm about to buy a sailboat with a broken engine
Thanks Gabriel. No idea mate, I'm guessing over $10k for a new yanmar
@@SailingLearningByDoing I thank you for traveling to Florida from Argentina to see sailboats
Nice video, how far would you say you can cruise on a full tank of diesel?
haha, if theres wind then forever! It totally depends on where you are and what you're doing. In 2018 from Australia to the Solomon Island, PNG and Indonesia I used about 120l of diesel all up. This year since March I've used about 400l. My boat sails very well in light air.
@@SailingLearningByDoing thanks for that info... its an amazing boat indeed.
Would have been much more interesting if Marie showed the ins and outs of the engine !
bonjour Marie est-ce un livre que tu ecrit un monde sans h'ivert
Bonjour Yves, non ce n'est pas un livre, mais un podcast audio, où je raconte ma version de nos aventures. Tu peux jeter une oreille par ici : anchor.fm/marie-morgane-rousselin
The pictures at the end are unreal again.
Thanks Sako.
At least it is not a Volvo!
haha
Before Volvo was not so good. But are nowadays Volvo Green painted Kubotas I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@SveinMBortne but the price.now is insane.
Compared to the Yanmar you mean?
@@SveinMBortne if you love volvo marine good for you.
You have no idea what you're doing do you. Those valves need to be at TDC - marks through a peephole in flywheel cover. And you're crannking your engine in the wrong direction. Your water pump impeller won't like that. Download a Yanmar service manual.
BS, impeller makes zero difference what way it turned, its sorts itself out. Whenever the valve has zero load its not in cycle and therefor not under load. Well done book guy.
2mm? 😂 try
.20mm
Yes indeed.
