Parts Manual for a Yanmar 6LPA-STP

[gmberkley]

I am looking for a parts manual for my Yanmar 6LPA-STP 315 HP Diesel, the closest engine I can find is a 6LPA-SPT2(3), the tag on the top of my engine is 6LPA-STP, but I find little to nothing about this engine, am I lucky enough to have a one of kind engine that I can't get any information on it??

right now I want to get an extra impeller and keep it on the boat, but at some point, I'd like to get the oil filter, timing belt, zincs, etc

frustrated, thanks for any guidance.

Yo Gregg.
The 6LP-STE are almost identical to yours, the A after LP means it is built in the US (America) rather than Japan.
I would think most if not all parts are the same.
As for impeller, at least on the engine box model it is almost impossible to change the impeller with the pump in place, hence I have a spare complete water pump. (Or 2 spare pumps actually if I dig deep in the dock boxes)
These pumps are built by Johnson Pumps and can be had cheaper without the Yanmar sticker.
If you search around on the internet you will find parts catalogs for your engine, like this one: https://dieselpartseurope.com/media/ond ... 200_en.pdf
