Part of the Yanmar Operator Manuals.
Bleeding air out of the fuel system with the boat rolling under you is no time to guess which vent screw opens first. This Yanmar operator manual walks that job step by step for the 6LPA-DTP, 6LPA-DTZP, 6LPA-STP and 6LPA-STZP marine diesels, along with every other routine these six cylinder engines demand.
Its 60 pages cover fuel, lube oil and cooling water requirements, daily and cold weather starting, control panel and alarm checks, clutch work for the marine drive, and a periodic inspection list running from the first 50 hours to the 1250 hour timing belt change. A troubleshooting chart matches simple problems with countermeasures, and piping and electric wiring diagrams for the B-Type and C/D-Type control panels round it out.
When you are anchored somewhere with nobody to call, these are the pages you want aboard. Download the PDF, print what you need, and let the printouts take the grease.
