General Technical Data

0The Yanmar 1GM10 is a naturally aspirated, single-cylinder, 4-stroke marine diesel engine with indirect injection via a swirl pre-combustion chamber. The displacement is 0.318 L. The engine features a cast iron cylinder block and an aluminum alloy cylinder head. The valvetrain is an overhead valve pushrod design with 2 valves (one intake, one exhaust).

Cooling is achieved through direct seawater circulation using a rubber impeller pump. Lubrication is an enclosed forced-feed system with a trochoid-type oil pump. The engine includes a 12 V electric starter (1.0 kW) combined with a manual recoil starter as a backup.

Cylinder Block

The cylinder block is manufactured from grey cast iron as a single-piece monobloc casting. The block is a vertical design with integral water jacket surrounding the cylinder bore. The parent cylinder bore is machined directly into the cast iron material without replaceable liners. A counterbalance shaft is housed within the crankcase to reduce the inherent vibration of single-cylinder operation.

The block incorporates mounting points for the engine feet and the marine gear adapter. One side of the block carries the raw water pump and the fuel injection pump. The cylinder block is designed for an 8° installation angle in the vessel.

Crankshaft: The crankshaft is forged from carbon steel with a single throw. A counterbalance shaft is chain-driven from the crankshaft to reduce primary vibration. The flywheel is bolted to the rear flange.

Connecting Rod: Forged steel I-beam design with replaceable bearing shell at the big end. The small end is bushed with a bronze alloy.

Piston: Cast aluminum alloy with a flat or slightly dished crown. Three piston rings: two compression rings (top ring chromed) and one oil control ring. No piston cooling jet is fitted.

Cylinder Head and Valves

The cylinder head is a separate casting manufactured from aluminum alloy to reduce overall engine mass. The head contains the swirl pre-combustion chamber (indirect injection system), which is a separate steel insert forming an ante-chamber where combustion initiates before expanding into the main cylinder.

The overhead valve arrangement uses a pushrod actuation system with a camshaft located within the cylinder block. Two valves are present: one intake valve and one exhaust valve. Valve stems are sealed with rubber stem seals on the intake side only. The rocker arm assembly is mounted on a single shaft, with adjustable screw and locknut for valve lash setting.

Fuel System

The fuel system is an indirect injection architecture using a swirl pre-combustion chamber. A mechanical inline injection pump, mounted to the side of the cylinder block, is driven by the camshaft. A mechanical centrifugal governor maintains engine speed under varying loads. A diaphragm-type fuel feed pump with a manual primer lever draws fuel from the tank through a primary water-separating filter.

High-pressure injection line connects the pump to the injector. The injector nozzle is a pintle type, installed into the cylinder head and spraying fuel into the pre-combustion chamber insert. Excess fuel returns to the tank via a leak-off line. The injection timing is set at 16° to 18° BTDC.

Lubrication System

The lubrication system is an enclosed forced-feed design. A trochoid-type oil pump is mounted on the timing gear cover and driven by the camshaft. The pump draws oil through a suction strainer positioned in the lower crankcase. Oil passes through a spin-on full-flow filter mounted externally on the engine block.

A pressure relief valve maintains system pressure. The total oil capacity is 1.3 L (1.4 qt). The effective oil capacity at an 8° heel angle (vessel inclination) is 0.6 L (0.63 qt). This reduced effective capacity requires careful attention to oil levels when the vessel is underway. The recommended oil classification is API CC or higher.

Cooling System

The cooling system is a direct seawater (raw water) circuit. A flexible-impeller rubber pump, driven by the crankshaft via a V-belt, draws seawater through a through-hull fitting and strainer. The seawater circulates through water jackets within the aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block before exiting through the exhaust manifold. A thermostat located in the cooling water outlet housing regulates flow to maintain the engine temperature between 60°C and 80°C (140°F to 176°F).

After cooling the engine, seawater is injected into the exhaust elbow to cool exhaust gases. No heat exchanger or antifreeze circuit is present in the standard configuration. An optional freshwater cooling conversion kit using a heat exchanger is available for vessels operating in saltwater environments.

Other Systems

Timing Drive: A silent timing chain drives the camshaft from the crankshaft. An automatic chain tensioner maintains proper chain slack. Separate gear drives power the counterbalance shaft.

Starting System: Dual redundant system. Primary starting: 12 V electric starter motor (1.0 kW) engaging a ring gear on the flywheel. Secondary starting: manual recoil starter (pull cord) on the front of the engine for emergency use.

Charging System: 12 V alternator rated at 40 A (some versions offered 35 A or 60 A).

Exhaust System: A water-cooled exhaust elbow injects seawater into the exhaust stream before discharge through a gooseneck fitting and below-waterline exhaust outlet.
