Servicing your Yanmar 3YM20
Parts commonly replaced during maintenance include:
- Oil and fuel filters
- Seawater-pump impellers
- Alternator and pump belts

- Service kits
For larger jobs, you’ll also find circulation pumps, seawater-pump parts, thermostats, sensors, exhaust elbows, starter motors, alternators and engine mounts.
Our range includes genuine Yanmar parts and good aftermarket alternatives. The manufacturer and condition are shown on each product page.
Cooling and drive belts
The 3YM20 uses both seawater and freshwater circuits to keep the engine at the correct temperature. A worn impeller, blocked seawater intake or damaged pump part can reduce the cooling-water flow and cause overheating.
Check the impeller, belts, hoses and coolant level during servicing. Replace a belt if it is cracked, worn or no longer tensions correctly.
Several service parts are shared with the
Yanmar 3YM30, but always compare the listed engine compatibility and part number.
Check the part number
Before ordering, check the complete engine model and serial number on the identification plate. Compare the original Yanmar part number with the number shown on the product page.
If you’re unsure, send us the engine details and any number shown on the old part. A clear photo can help us check the correct replacement.
