    • N
      Nathan JacksonSep 15, 2025
      If the battery low charge lamp remains illuminated during operation of your Yanmar Engine, there are a few potential causes. The V-belt might be loose or broken, in which case you should replace the V-belt and adjust its tension. Alternatively, the battery itself could be defective; check the fluid level and specific gravity, and replace the battery if necessary. A third possibility is alternator failure, which requires professional repairs.

    Why does the coolant temperature high alarm go on in my Yanmar Engine?
    • A
      Amy SmithSep 14, 2025
      The coolant temperature high alarm in your Yanmar Engine could be triggered by several issues. It might be due to insufficient water in the coolant tank, so check the coolant level and replenish if necessary. Another potential cause is insufficient seawater, leading to a temperature rise, in which case you should check the seawater system. Finally, there could be contamination inside the cooling system, which requires professional repairs.

      If the coolant high temperature alarm lights are on, the coolant level in the coolant tank or heat exchanger may be low. Check the coolant level and refill as needed. Also, insufficient seawater level can cause the temperature to rise, so check the seawater system. For contamination inside the cooling system, consult an authorized Yanmar Marine dealer or distributor.
