Yanmar Pleasure Boat Marine Engine Help

Parts and Tools

THINGS YOU NEED FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE

All Yanmar fittings are METRIC so put those INCH tools in another box

• Waste coolant container ¹, Hand cleaner
• Bilge and Engine cleaner, Metric Spanners² , Metric socket set ³
• Screwdriver set ⁴, Feeler gauges ⁵, Soft hammer Allen keys⁶
• Long nose pliers, Side cutting pliers, Water pump pliers
• Oil evacuation pump, Funnel, Waste oil container, Filter wrench
• CRC / WD40 or the like, Rags/paper towels, Magnet-on-a-stick

As you do the job a few times you will know what size, depth of containers you need for your engine / installation.

¹ Ethylene glycol is not environmentally friendly, Propylene Glycol is. In either case dispose of waste coolant in accordance with the local rules.
² Metric ring (12 point) and open end spanners are recommended.
³ 12 point Metric sockets. ( 12 point sockets and ring spanners allow for tighter spaces than 6 point )
⁴ Screwdrivers. Straight bladed (minus) and Phillips head screwdrivers (plus) are required. Do not use other types of (plus) screwdrivers (e.g. Pozidrive, etc.) on the engine as the crosses in the screw heads will become useless and you will become grumpy.
⁵ Feeler gauges for adjusting the tappet settings, valve clearances, valve lash or whatever your favorite name is should be metric and not worn. ( 0.1mm = 0.004 inch )
⁶ 10mm set of Metric 'Allen' or hex head keys.
