[C320-list] Hand cranking a Yanmar 3gm30f

[Jeff Hare]

Hi Gene,

Most of the 3gm's have a cap over the manual crank spot on the engine.  On
this engine that is right in line with the belt for the raw water pump, so
you it really can't be crank started with the raw water pump installed.

Having a separate starting battery with the ability to cross connect the
house bank is the practical solution here.   Also buying the unlimited on
water towing from TowBoat US or SeaTow provides piece of mind in my opinion.

-Jeff

I realized this morning that I do not know how to hand start our Yammer in
the event of electrical failure.  Can't find the protocol easily in the
manual.  It must be in there? Please advise where the instructions can be
found or what the procedure would be.

thanks,
