Part of the Yanmar Repair Manuals.
Setting valve lash on a 1GM10 or timing the injection pump on a 3HM35 stalls fast without the factory figures, and guessing at a head bolt sequence is how a rebuild goes wrong. This Yanmar service manual (publication 0000 A0A1361) puts the same 474 pages Yanmar's own technicians work from on your bench, covering the GM series marine diesels 1GM10(C), 2GM20(F)(C), 3GM30(F)(C), and 3HM35(F)(C) in both sea-water and fresh-water cooled versions.
Inside are teardown and reassembly procedures for the basic engine, fuel injection system, governor, lubrication system, both cooling systems, and the reduction and reversing gear, plus specifications, cross-sections, and piping diagrams. Chapter 9 even walks through converting a sea-water cooled engine to fresh water cooling.
It downloads as a bookmarked PDF, so the specs travel with you: a laptop at the bench, a phone in the engine bay, or printed pages clipped beside a torn-down block.

Yanmar GM/HM Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
Cranks but will not fire
A GM series diesel that spins over without lighting usually has air in the fuel lines, a clogged filter, or a tired injection pump. The fuel system chapter covers the injection pump, injection nozzles, fuel filter, and feed pump so you can test each stage instead of swapping parts.
Manual Section: Chapter 3 Fuel System p. 112Overheating on sea-water cooled engines
Rising temperature under load on a raw-water cooled engine points to a worn water pump, a stuck thermostat, or neglected anticorrosion zincs. This chapter covers the water pump, thermostat, and zinc service needed to restore flow before heat gets to the cylinder head.
Manual Section: Chapter 7 Direct Sea-Water Cooling System p. 184Temperature creep on fresh-water cooled models
On the (F) versions, slow overheating usually traces to the heat exchanger, the sea water pump feeding it, or a lazy fresh water pump. The fresh water cooling chapter covers all three, plus the filler cap, subtank, thermostat, and temperature switch.
Manual Section: Chapter 8 Fresh Water Cooling System p. 202Low oil pressure warning
An oil pressure alarm at idle can mean a worn oil pump, a sticking pressure regulator valve, or bearings on their way out. This chapter gives the oil pump and regulator valve procedures along with an oil pressure measurement method, so you diagnose before you split the block.
Manual Section: Chapter 6 Lubrication System p. 169Hunting or surging idle
An idle that swings up and down points to the governor or its adjusters rather than the pump itself. The governor chapter covers the governor, injection limiter, no-load maximum speed limiter, and idling adjuster so you can set it right instead of chasing it.
Manual Section: Chapter 4 Governor p. 147Weak compression and blowby
Hard starting when cold, breather smoke, and oil use come down to rings, valves, and the head. The basic engine chapter covers the cylinder block, cylinder head, pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which is where you find the measuring and reassembly work for a proper rebuild.
Manual Section: Chapter 2 Basic Engine p. 48Reversing gear slips or shifts hard
A clutch that slips under load or balks going into reverse is a gearbox job, not an engine job. The reduction and reversing gear chapter covers construction, the shifting device, servicing, disassembly, and reassembly.
Manual Section: Chapter 10 Reduction and Reversing Gear p. 234Frequently Asked Questions
Which Yanmar engines does this service manual cover?
The GM series marine diesels: 1GM10(C), 2GM20(F)(C), 3GM30(F)(C), and 3HM35(F)(C), in both sea-water cooled and fresh-water cooled (F) versions. It is the Yanmar factory service manual, publication 0000 A0A1361.
Does it cover injection pump and injector service?
Yes. The Chapter 3 Fuel System section covers the fuel injection system, injection pump, injection nozzles, fuel filter, and fuel feed pump, so you can work through a no-start or rough-running fault stage by stage. p. 112
Does it cover both raw-water and fresh-water cooling?
Yes. Chapter 7 covers the direct sea-water cooling system, including the water pump, thermostat, and anticorrosion zincs, and Chapter 8 covers the fresh water system with its sea water pump, fresh water pump, and heat exchanger. Chapter 9 also explains modifying a sea-water cooled engine to fresh water cooling. p. 184
Is the marine gearbox included?
Yes. The Chapter 10 Reduction and Reversing Gear section covers construction, the shifting device, servicing, disassembly, and reassembly, and Chapter 11 covers the remote control system for the clutch, speed regulator, and engine stop. p. 234

Instant PDF download. You get the full 474-page searchable Service Manual immediately after payment. Open it on your laptop, tablet, or phone right in the shop.
Is this Yanmar 1GM10(C) & variants Service Manual printable?
Yes. The PDF has no DRM restrictions, so print any page or section you need for your shop. Works with any standard printer.
Does this Service Manual have electrical diagrams?
Yes. The Electrical System section at p342-387 carries the electrical wiring diagrams for this machine.
