3JH3E
JH3-generation Yanmar diesel: naturally aspirated 1.496 L inline three rated 40 hp at 3800 rpm, widely fitted to sailboats around 30-38 ft.
The JH3 series (1999 to mid-2000s) moved to an 84 x 90 mm bore and stroke: 1.496 L for the three-cylinder 3JH3E and 1.995 L for the four-cylinder models, rated at 3800 rpm. Yanmar marketed it as lighter and quieter than the JH2 and compliant with the EU BSO emission rules. Package letters in the code denote the drive: B = KM3A/KM4A down-angle gear, T = KBW21 parallel gear (turbo models), H = KMH4A hydraulic down-angle gear, C = saildrive.
The 3JH3E replaced the 3JH2E. It came with a KM3P parallel cone-clutch gear, KM3A 7-degree down-angle gear (3JH3BE) or an SD31/SD40 saildrive (3JH3CE).
It was replaced by the 3JH4E in 2004.
