Yanmar GM series
The GM Series from Yanmar is the only range of engines specifically designed for marine usage. These are the reasons why the range has lead the yacht auxiliary market for over 15 years:

Reliability

The whole GM range is based around a simple yet robust design to ensure the greatest reliability when there’s no sailability.

Comfort

Each engine rests on anti-vibration mounts to ensure the only motion the sailor feels is the motion of the ocean.

Transmissions

There are a choice of gearbox ratios to ensure the best match between engine and propeller.

Hand Start

There is a unique hand start facility, giving the operator the security of a manual back-up.

Yanmar Saildrive Series

The Saildrive Series are different classes of engines fitted with saildrives.

Reliability

The dual diaphragm virtually eliminates leakages. It is made of a tough, resilient material which is virtually crack-proof to resist damage from any knocks.

Safe

The tough membrane is backed up by an inner sub-diaphragm. Between these two walls is an automatic sensor that sends a warning to the cockpit if there is a leakage.

Flexible

The compact design of the Saildrive allows the boat builder to play with many design options. The lower drive and gear section can be turned 180 degrees to suit the keel hull design.

Comfort

Vibration has been kept to a low level. The dual diaphragms stop any contact between the drive and the hull so there is less transmission.

Yanmar JH3 Series

The JH3 Series are a family of five lightweight user-friendly, clean and reliable marine diesel engines. The power options available are 40hp, 56hp, 75hp, 100hp and 125hp.

Lightweight

Each engine has closed space cylinders to save space and weight. Extensive use of aluminium in many parts make for good weight saving.

User Friendly

Yanmar fit sophisticated engine mounts, velvet smooth transmissions and micron-precision fuel systems. This makes for low noise, low vibration, low emission easy-to-live with engines.

Environment

Inlet swirl design improves fuel-air mix. This is just one way Yanmar improves combustion efficiency. All 5 engines clear the strict European BSO regulations.

Versatile

Yanmar has designed the 4LHA to be used with a variety of marine gearboxes, including straight, angled and vee-drive ZF-Hurth units.

Environment

This engine shows Yanmar’s commitment to protecting the environment. It has low noise, low vibration, low smoke and a highly economical use of fuel.

Comfort

Vibration has been kept to a low level due to the use of special steels in the engine block and other critical areas.
