Failure to do so can lead to reduced vessel
performance, lead to increased smoke levels and
cause permanent damage to your engine.
The engine must be installed correctly with coolant
lines, exhaust gas lines and electrical wiring. Any
auxiliary equipment attached to the engine should
be easy to use and accessible for service. To

Do not operate the engine at low idle or at low

speed and light load for more than 30 minutes at a
time. Since unburned fuel and engine oil will adhere
to the piston rings when operating at low speeds for
long periods, this will interfere with proper
movement of the rings and the lube oil consumption
may increase. Low idle speed does not allow
break-in of sliding parts.
If operating engine at low speed and light load, you
must rev up the engine (i.e. increase the engine

Engine Oil Filter
should be replaced periodically. See Changing the Engine Oil and Replacing the Engine
Oil Filter Element on page 51.
There are two cooling systems: closed cooling with coolant (freshwater) and seawater.
The engine is cooled by the closed cooling circuit. The closed circuit is cooled by seawater
Cooling System
using a heat exchanger. The seawater also cools the marine gear oil and intake air
through the air cooler(s) in an open circuit.
Closed Cooling The centrifugal water pump circulates coolant inside the engine. The circulating pump is
Circulation Pump driven by a belt.
Pumps seawater from outside vessel to the engine. The seawater pump is belt-driven and
Seawater Pump has a replaceable rubber impeller. Never operate it without seawater, as this will damage
the impeller.
When the coolant temperature rises, the pressure inside the coolant tank increases and
opens the pressure valve in the filler cap. When the pressure valve in the filler cap is
opened, hot water and steam pass through a rubber hose to the coolant reservoir tank.
Coolant Filler Cap
When the engine cools and the pressure inside the coolant tank drops, the vacuum valve
in the filler cap opens and the coolant in the coolant reservoir tank returns to the coolant
tank through the pipe and filler cap. This minimizes coolant consumption.
The pressure valve in the filler cap releases vapor and hot water overflow to the coolant
reservoir tank. When the engine stops and the coolant cools, the pressure in the coolant
Coolant Reservoir Tank tank drops. The filler cap vacuum valve then opens to send water back from the coolant
reservoir tank. This minimizes coolant consumptions. The closed cooling system coolant
level can easily be checked and refilled in this tank.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
VESSEL CONTROL SYSTEM (VCS)

8LV series engine is a fully electric engine, which is controlled by Yanmar’s original “Vessel Control System
(VCS)”.
The control equipment consists of the Switch Panel, the Display, the Drive & Helm ECU, the Control Head
and the Backup Panel, which are connected by the cable harness to the engine and marine gear or stern
drive for remote control operation.
Note: The Yanmar Vessel Control System (VCS) was designed to operate the 8LV engine and drive
system. There are many control functions and diagnostic functions that are integrated together to
insure safe operation. If this system is not utilized in specific accordance with the instructions in this
manual or the system is modified in any way, Yanmar will not be responsible for any warranty failures
in the operation of the system or the vessel utilizing the system.
Yanmar has designed the Vessel Control System (VCS) in conjunction with the 8LV engine. The
system has many functions that must be configured and calibrations must be made before the
vessel can be operated. Please arrange to have a Yanmar trained technician inspect the vessel prior
to the vessels operation.

inadequate seawater discharge will damage the
impeller of the seawater pump. If seawater
discharge is too small, stop the engine
immediately. Identify the cause and repair.

Conditions to Ensure Compliance

with EPA Emission Standards
The 8LV series is an EPA-certified engine.
The following are the conditions that must be met in
order to ensure that the emissions during operation
meet the EPA standards.
The operating conditions should be as follows:
• Ambient temperature: -20 °C to +40 °C
(-4 °F to +104 °F)
• Relative humidity: 80 % or lower
The diesel fuel should be:
• ASTM D975 No. 1-D or No. 2-D, or equivalent
(minimum cetane No. 45)
The lubricating oil should be:
• Type API, Class CD, CF, CF-4, CI, CI-4
Be sure to perform inspections as outlined in
Periodic Maintenance Procedures on page 46 and
keep a record of the results.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Daily and periodic maintenance is important to keep the engine in good operating condition. The following
is a summary of maintenance items by periodic maintenance intervals. Periodic maintenance intervals vary
depending on engine application, loads, diesel fuel and engine oil used and are hard to establish
definitively. The following should be treated only as a general guideline.
NOTICE
Establish a periodic maintenance plan according to the engine application and make sure to perform the
required periodic maintenance at the intervals indicated. Failure to follow these guidelines will impair the
engine’s safety and performance characteristics, shorten the engine’s life and may affect the warranty
coverage on your engine. Contact your authorized Yanmar Marine dealer or distributor for assistance when

LONG-TERM
STORAGE
If the engine will not be used for an extended period
of time, special measures should be taken to
protect the cooling system, fuel system and
combustion chamber from corrosion and the
exterior from rusting.
The engine can normally stand idle for up to 6
months. If it remains unused for longer than this,
please contact your authorized Yanmar Marine
Before performing any storage procedures within
this section, review the Safety section on page 3.
In cold temperatures or before long-term storage,
be sure to drain the seawater from the cooling
system.

freshwater, be sure to add LLC or drain off the
freshwater from the cooling system daily after use.
NOTICE
If the freshwater without LLC is not removed, it may

procedure to prevent rust inside the engine:
• Change the engine oil and the filters before
running the engine.
• Supply fuel if the fuel in the fuel tank was
removed, and bleed the fuel system of air.
• Confirm that there is the coolant in the engine.
• Operate the engine at the low idling speed for
about 5 minutes (if possible, once a month).
