Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Yanmar 75HP - Cannot go over 2300 RPM

I had the same problem with Kimberlite. Even though when I hauled her and tried to wiggle the blades of the autoprop they seemed normal. After exhausting all other possibilities , I spend a day and rebuilt the autoprop. Voila back to 3500 rpm. I also rebuilt the prop at about 3500 hours. The autoprop is a sensitive beast and the slightest out of balance will kill your rpm. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Vlad and Dominique, AutoProps require regular maintenance. If you haven't done that in a couple of years, that may be your problem. There are some other threads on this forum that discuss this vis a vis low rpm. Just spinning the blades on the hub doesn't tell you much. They can feel perfectly free wheeling, and still be a problem. If you don't run your engine hard on a regular basis, you can get a serious buildup of carbon in the turbo and exhaust elbow. That's the second place to look. Let us know what you find. Kent

Hi Dominique, I also have 75 HP YANMAR engine 4JH3-TE. I also can't develop more than 2200-2500 RPM. Autoprop ask me for transmission gear ratio. The label on my transmission is gone. I requested this information from Amel. I am waiting for a reply now. Autoprop also ask me to conduct some tests. I can't do the tests now because my boat is on hard. Vladimir

Yanmar 4JH3-TE - 3600 hours - 1500 hours maintenance.
A New Zealand mechanic replaced the injectors with Yanmar ones I provided and sourced in the US [Niemiec] Both mechanic and my US provider confirmed that it was the correct part #.
However and since I cannot go over 2300 RPM. The smoke is pretty transparent neither black or white.
I browsed the internet, got a lot of ideas, but nothing which jumped out. I suspect it is related to the Turbo - over 2300 RPM - that I have not used much and realized I should have.
Suggestions greatly appreciated
