Here is the raw info on the M30 from my records:

Engine: Perkins Perama M30,
model KD3024J; Serial: 51554X  (Note: 4/2015 Perkins dist in GB 	says model s/b
5 digits and based order for elbow on KD30244J)
            Rotation:
Crankshaft anti-clockwise viewed from the flywheel
		Prop: 15x11 rotates
clockwise viewed from aft the prop
		Belt: Gates XL 7340 (.95/1cm x 880cm; 3/8"
x 34-5/8") (for AmpTech alternator)
		Note: the belt will be different for the
stock Lucas alternator
	Fuel filter: Perkins 130366120, NAPA 3386, Fram
3627
		Note: these are the filters on the engine
	Oil Filter: Perkins
140516990, NAPAGold 1348, Fram PH2951
		Note: these filters have an integral
bypass to insure oil flow should the filter 		become compromised. Use no other
filter.
	Jabsco F/W pump #29450-1101/1201 (Perkins 1450 16941)
	Impeller:  
Dia 2"  Depth 7/8"  Shaft 1/2"
		Globe Composits part #6541 6-blade
(Defender.com)
		Jabsco OEM #18673-003 (Nitrile) 10-blade
	Trans: Hurth
HBW-50-2R, iA 2.05; iB 1.86 Serial 09-73295, Cap. 10 fl.oz. (0.3lt,
0.29qt)
		Trans Capacity: 10oz; ATF Type-A (any Dexron type ATF should
do)
	
There is a shop manual for the Hurth trans on the 320 web site
	Cooling
system capacity (exclusive of water heater loop): 1-1/4 gal/US
		Use 50/50 mix
of universal auto coolant (buy premixed)
			If you mix yourself, use only
distilled water
	Oil capacity: 4 gal/US; 10W30, 15W40, or 20W50

In the mid
1990s, Perkins service in US was with Detroit Diesel. There exists the "100
Series Service Manual" of which I have a copy. There might also be a copy on the
web site.

My other books are on the boat, so from memory: Max RPM 3600,
cruising RPM 2880.

I've attached a diagram of the M30 wiring harness on my
320. The engine side wire colors may well be the same for any M30.

Hope this
helps,

Warren and Pattie Updike
1994 C320 "Warr de Mar" #62

[C320-list] M 30 question
 A friend of mine just purchased a 1994 Beneteau 321
with a Perkins M30 engine. I believe that many 320's also were powered with this
engine. He would like to know what lube oil, oil filter, & atf fluid should be
used. I would appreciate it if anyone can provide this info.
