Engine 9HP — Yanmar 1GM10

Model 1GM10

Yanmar 1GM10 — 9 HP / 6.7 kW @ 3600 RPM, 1-cyl 318 cc. 1.0 kW starter, modeled at ~150 A cranking draw (250 A inrush); 40 A internally regulated alternator (35 A on older units). Iconic auxiliary for compact cruisers.

The run drawn here is the 3 m reference run sized below. Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. Confirm your own run length, routing and terminations before ordering — open this part in the designer to size it against your actual system.

What size cable and fuse does the 1GM10 9HP need?

Fuse250 Acranking-rated
Voltage drop1.1%3 m one way
Cranking current150 A12 V system

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The cranking current is the starter's continuous draw. ABYC E-11 excepts cranking-motor conductors from overcurrent protection, so the fuse shown is the conventional cranking-rated (Class T) choice sized to hold the draw without nuisance tripping — not a wire-protection requirement. The conductor is sized by the Crimp engine for the cranking draw and voltage drop. The 3 m one-way run is a stated reference, not a universal installation prescription.

What else you need to wire the 1GM10 9HP

  • 6 m total of 120 mm² (4/0 AWG) marine cable
  • Four 120 mm² cable lugs matched to the equipment studs
  • 250 A cranking-rated (Class T) fuse at the battery
  • Heat-shrink, strain relief, and terminal boots sized to the cable

Catalog profile

The manufacturer, model, ratings and terminal map are maintained as planning data in Crimp's component catalog. Confirm the current manufacturer manual, exact revision and installed nameplate before ordering or wiring.

Engine reference

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The published conductor, fuse and voltage-drop result uses the visible reference length and current basis; it is not a universal installation prescription.
