C315 engine model and transmission gear reduction data question

[VFR750]

For the recently delivered C315 owners

can you confirm the yanmar engine model number (21hp) and the gear ratio stamped on the transmission? Is the shaft 1” in diameter?

I got a good deal on an EWOL feathering propellor and I need the data to order the right one.

Unfortunately my 315 does not arrive until next summer. And I’d like a fancy Christmas present to soothe the pain.

Our 2022 315 came with a Yanmar 3YM20 freshwater cooled three-cylinder 21 HP diesel engine and a Kanzaki KM2P-1(G) transmission with 2.62 gear reduction ratio. Yes, the shaft is 1".

We got a Flex-O-Fold propellor and think that it helps. Good luck with yours! The long wait is not fun...

Thanks John

This is just what I needed.

unfortunately, the 2.62 transmission is different than what i thought it was. I got a quote for a 2.2:1 I guess I’m going to wait till the boat shows up.

yes, waiting stinks.

Yes, that would be safest. When I was getting a flex-o-fold I found the plate on my 3YM30 was a different ratio than what I was looking at in the manual.
