29 mhp of Reliable Mechanical Power for Saildrive and Shaft Installations

The YANMAR 3YM30AE is a 1.266 L, three-cylinder marine diesel rated at 21.3 kW / 29 mhp at 3200 rpm, the top of the YM series, which covers 14 to 29 mhp in three output models. The YM series is YANMAR’s line of mechanical engines built for smaller sailboats and other pleasure craft, delivering reliable power and smooth performance for unforgettable on-water experiences, and an ideal solution for smaller recreational boats. YANMAR built the series around five things: clean, interconnective, quiet, powerful and fuel efficient.

Powerful and fuel efficient. YANMAR’s mechanical indirect injection, in-line pump fuel system gives the YM series a compact design with impressive power output, with fuel consumption optimized to maximize cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

Clean and quiet. The 3YM30AE meets EPA Tier 3 and EU RCD 2 and produces minimal emissions thanks to its advanced technology, and is engineered for minimal noise and smooth operation.

Interconnective. The 3YM30AE is controlled by YANMAR’s B20 mechanical panel, showing engine hours, battery voltage and alarms, with an optional fuel level gauge. The 3YM30AE is offered with the YANMAR SD25 saildrive or, for shaft drive, with the Kanzaki KM2P-1 gear.

YANMAR SD25 saildrive

SD25 saildrive

YANMAR designed and developed the SD25 saildrive to match its YM series engines, the 2YM15, 3YM20 and 3YM30AE. It connects directly to the engine’s dedicated marine housing without adapters or couplings, which keeps the propulsion system compact and reduces rotational mass and vibration.

Type Saildrive
Clutch Constant mesh gear with dog clutch
Reduction ratios 2.64
Dry weight 30 kg / 66 lb

Shaft drive gears

For shaft-drive installations the 3YM30AE is supplied with the marine gears below. The gear uses a mechanical cone clutch. Other marine gearboxes and configurations are available on request; ask Mastry for the right match to your hull.
