Yanmar 6LY(M)-UTE temperature alarm sounds and engine runs hot under heavy load
Check the fresh water operating temperature. Verify the coolant stays within 75°C to 85°C for a new engine as specified on page 24. Inspect the seawater pump impeller and replace it if you exceed the 2500 service hours interval found on page 36.
Manual Section: Fresh Water Cooling System Issues p. 24Oil leaking around the filter housing and pressure dropping after performing routine maintenance
Inspect the lube oil filter seal for damage or improper seating. Replace the filter after the first 50 service hours as noted on page 34. Fill the oil pan to the 20 l full capacity listed on page 10 and verify there are no leaks during operation.
Manual Section: Engine Lubrication Problems p. 34Engine performance falls off sharply or stalls completely immediately after refueling the tank
Drain the water separator and inspect the entire fuel system for contamination. Change the fuel filter element every 250 service hours. Review the easy troubleshooting guide on page 37 to verify proper fuel delivery. Always use the specified diesel fuel to prevent poor combustion.
Manual Section: Fuel System Malfunctions p. 37Low oil pressure warning light flashes continuously on the instrument panel during normal operation
Stop the engine immediately and check the dipstick level. Adhere to the engine lube oil change interval on page 12, requiring fresh oil every 250 service hours. Ensure the system holds the full 20 l capacity shown on page 10 to maintain safe operating pressure.
