Service & maintenance

Start your parts search

Collections are browsing aids and include parts for other engines. Confirm the complete model, serial number and exact assembly before ordering.

Find your service category

These broader collections help you browse. A category link does not confirm engine-specific compatibility.

Before selecting parts

Identify the engine you have

Use the complete identification to select the correct generation, diagram and replacement part.

3YM20

A naturally aspirated mechanical indirect-injection engine, with a documented 0.854-litre displacement. Match the actual installation equipment.

3YM30 / 3YM30AE

Earlier 3YM30 is 1.115 litres; 3YM30AE is 1.266 litres. AE is a distinct model designation, and published rated-speed specifications differ.

Cooling & propulsion

These engines use liquid cooling and mechanical fuel systems. Identify the installed marine gear or saildrive; earlier SD20 and later SD25 packages require separate matching.

3YM30AE is not merely an alternative spelling of 3YM30. Older 3GM30 and common-rail 3JH/4JH families require their own parts selection.

Send the complete engine-plate details and clear old-part photos. Match the installed fuel and cooling equipment, and include the separate drive or marine-gear plate when asking about those assemblies.

Documented installations

Boat examples

These examples describe documented engine options or installations. Boats may have been repowered or modified; an example does not establish present-day parts compatibility.
