Overheating

Posted by odl_nyc (odl_nyc@…>)

I have a yanmar 27hp engine, on a F36, it can run all day at 2500 rpm,
but if I increase rpm to 2,800 it quickly starts to overheat. I was
told that maybe my heat exchanger is clogged and needs
cleaning/repair. anyone have a similar problem. Is the repair or
changing of the heat exchanger very difficult.

thanks

Over the winter I had my heat exchanger rebuilt on a perkins 4.108
because the zinc pencil had corroded so badly that it broke off
inside. Since I needed to take it off to remove the debris, I
figured I’d have it professionally cleaned as well. I uninstalled it
an reinstalled it myself, and the only issue was that next time,
I’ll remove the oil filter first, as it makes things a bit difficult.

when I first refilled the engine with coolant, I had the same issue
where it could run all day at a certain speed, but as soon as I
throttled up, it started to overheat.

What I didn’t realize was that when I first put the new coolant in,
the system needed to ‘burp,’ and then I needed to add more coolant.

So definitely make sure your coolant levels are right, that you
don’t have a stuck thermostat, and that your heat exchanger isn’t
plugged up with crud. For that matter, check your raw water intake
as well to make sure it’s circulating properly.

just a few ideas.

A F 32 I charter in CA with the same Yanmar does the same thing. My F28 with a 18HP Yanmar did it when I bought the boat. Had the heat exchanger cleaned, no more overheat. However, it is now doing it again. Had a mechanic out, he looked at the heat exchanger, it was clear, we found some bark chips stuck on the inside of the thru hull, cleaned those out, changed the coolant, burped, checked the thermostat, good water out the stern pipe, ran fine under load at the dock up to 3200 RPM, etc. However, now it still overheats at about 2800 and up. So, I am very interested in this post. Have heard may need to do a leak down test, a pretty complicated procedure according to Yanmar that needs special adapters and instruments to perform the test. The local Yanmar guy in AZ doesn’t have the equipment.

Yanmar is easy.Buy two books-the 3gm series shop manual,and the parts
manual. I did for the same reasons,using these 2 books so I knew what to
do,and what parts I needed. It was a piece of cake.Use Neversieze on all
fastenings when re assembling. Also,if your exhaust elbow is used in salt
water,and is over 5 yrs old,it might be the culprit. Also,(IMPORTANT),check
that your intake hose from the thru-hull isnt soft and collapsing under the
vacuum . .You should have a healthy amount of exhaust water. Flush and drain
the fresh water system with clear water at least twice and replace the
antifreeze with Yanmar or Caterpillar diesel specific antifreeze. It is
,among other things,a better heat transfer agent,

I have a F36 with the Yanmar 3gm30F.That engine wants to cruise at
2800 to 3000 rpm with the Kanzaki 2.62 : 1 gear ratio. You should be
propped to give you at least 3400 RPM in gear w/o black smoke. You
should be making 6.5kn at 2900 RPM with that gear ratio.

Regarding the overheating. Run the engine up to temp and put your
hand on the flat metal cap on top of the mixing elbow. If it is warm
or hot, your mixing elbow is clogged and needs to be replaced. I do
it as matter of routine maintenance every 4 years. $90.00+/- in
parts.

If the mixing elbow is cool, check the flow of your raw water pump.
make sure you have significant flow out the exhaust. When’s the last
time you changed the impeller? I do it every season as routine
maintenance. Check the raw water screen and thru hull for blockage.

If the mixing elbow is cool and you have sufficient water flow,
check the thermostat. Put it in a pot of water at 170*. It should
open. If not, replace it. If you have no maintenence records of when
it was replaced last, replace it any way.

Check the Heat exchange filler cap. When it gets old, it loses its
sealing ability and the ability to hold pressure and operate the
expansion tank.

Lastly, look at the heat exchanger itself. Its a moderate sized job
and you would do well to eliminate all the other possibilities
first. A buddy of mine went to the heat exchanger on a Yanmar 2 gm f
first. Did $700 dollars damage to the core and only after found out
he had a bad impeller.

Sounds good,
only I would suggest that the no smoke RPM for the 3gm30f
is 3600. If it smokes below that rpm the prop is overpitched or there is
another problem.

If you’re getting good water flow out your exhaust underway, I would suspect the prop is probably “over pitched”. This is a fairly common problem, as the prop guys figures don’t always work out. What diameter is your prop?

What should the diameter and pitch of the prop be for the Max Prop for the 32’s. I was told mine could be adjusted next time the boat was out of the water as I can’t get the boat RPM’s over 28000. The yard that worked on it didn’t seem to know much about them, but did have a book that they were following.

Sounds like you are overpropped by approximately 800RPM (Yanmar
2GM20F, 3GM30F). That equates to 200 RPM for each inch of pitch or
inch of dia. Max Prop gives their pitch settings in “degrees”. From
their chart, 6 degrees of pitch decrease = 3.8" of pitch decrease =
760 RPM. These numbers are not exact and the chart varies somewhat
depending what prop dia. you are using. You might consider
decreasing your pitch by 4 degrees when you splash next season and
fine tuning it after that. If you post your current prop dia and
setting, I can give you the numbers off the chart.

I’m running my spare prop at the present. When I purchased the boat I had the same overpitch problem. Had it re-pitched, so now it is a “square” 14X14. the prop is a 3blade Michigan, and gives me full rpm at this pitch, tho I generally cruise @ 25-2700rpm, which gives me approx .5 gph.

14" 3 blade: 24* = 11.8" pitch
22* = 10.7" pitch
20* = 9.6" pitch
18* = 8.6" pitch
16* = 7.6" pitch

There is a corresponding chart which gives the gear settings to
obtain the pitch numbers. If you don’t have the manual, you can
probably download it from PYI, or give me a fax # and I’ll send you
a copy.

The engine model # is on a plate on the front of the engine. The
transmission mfg. and ratio are on a plate on the side of the
transmission. The info may also be in the manual if you have one
thats engine specific.

told that maybe my heat exchanger is clogged and needs
