It all online, just go to napa's online site and plug in your yanmar oil filter part number it will come up. Belts are even easier the size is printed on them.

google is your friend here, this is a really easy search.

Good morning, Jimbo.

Yanmar didn't make any of those parts, or for that matter items like starters and pumps. Their engineers simply took appropriate parts off the shelf. Now they have to keep an inventory of "Genuine Yanmar Parts" for a small number of customers who occasionally ask for them, at great cost even if they are not trying to gouge you.

My Universal M25 genset uses a Westerbeke starter at about $1,200 or an Amazon/Kubota starter at $63, and I found the throttle in a heavy truck parts catalog at similar cost savings.

So, for the immediate, take the belts and filters to your friendly local neighborhood auto parts store and ask for duplicates. For pump impellers a good starting point is this guide, even if you do not have Jabsco pumps (the most common).

You'll get into the game very quickly. Good luck with it.

HUGE thanks for the marine engine parts 411 tkeithlu, I found this site while searching for info how to adjust the intake/exhaust valve clearance for my Yanmar - seems like basic routine maintenance info to me ... apparently it isn't to the rest of the world. Also got an old car to maintain, but at least affordable parts for that are easy to find.
