What engine is this?

[foolproof]

Hello all:

I have attached a picture of the engine in my 1976 C30. I found the name Yanmar stamped on it, but I can't find any other identification markings. I thought I remember the previous owner saying it was a 2YM15, but in looking at Yanmar's website, I notice that mine looks nothing like what they show.

Can anyone recognize what it is (besides a rusty old sailboat engine)?

I thought that the 1976 would have come with the Atomic 4, but I suppose it may have been re-engined somewhere along the way.

Thanks for your help.

hey fp,

i found this, it might help:


Understanding YANMAR engine model codes Most engine model designations are on an engine data plate, on the front or the top of the engine. Some older engines have the data plate on the adapter plate between the engine and the gearbox . Here are some examples of engine model codes and their meanings: YSE8 Y= horizontal cylinder, lying down.
SE = engine model type or block type.

hope this helps.
