Yanmar Marine engine

3JH4E

In production 2004–2010

JH4-generation Yanmar diesel: naturally aspirated 1.642 L inline three rated 40 hp at 3000 rpm, a standard auxiliary in sailboats up to about 40 ft.

The JH4 series (2004) introduced a new 88 mm-bore block and combustion system for the naturally aspirated models (3JH4E 1.642 L, 4JH4E 2.19 L) with the rated speed cut to 3000 rpm; Yanmar claimed about 25% more torque and lower noise than the JH3. The turbo JH4 models (4JH4-TE, 4JH4-HTE) kept the 84 mm-bore 1.995 L block at 3200 rpm.

The 3JH4E replaced the 3JH3E. Yanmar offered it with KM35P parallel or KM35A down-angle gears or coupled to the SD50 saildrive.

It was replaced by the mechanically similar 3JH5E around 2010.
