How to Match This Part
This aftermarket coolant temperature alarm switch replaces Yanmar 128275-91340. It is a 65°C (149°F) switch for the engine alarm circuit on listed Yanmar GM and HM marine diesels with direct raw-water cooling — not a variable sender for a dashboard temperature gauge, and not the 95°C freshwater / heat-exchanger switch used on other GM/HM installations.
Match this part in this order:
1. OEM number on the removed switch or in your parts catalog — Yanmar 128275-91340 (Recmar cross REC128275-91340)
2. Engine model code — on the engine identification plate (typically on the block or flywheel housing)
3. Cooling configuration — this 65°C switch is for direct raw-water cooled applications; freshwater / heat-exchanger cooled GM/HM engines often use a different higher-temperature switch
4. Physical form — threaded metal body with hex wrench flats, white insulated top, and a single stud terminal (compare with the product images)
Do not order from engine family alone. Confirm 128275-91340 (or REC128275-91340), raw-water cooling, and the physical switch against the removed part before installation.
- Primary OEM: 128275-91340

Installation Guide
- Allow the engine to cool completely. Isolate battery power before opening the cooling circuit.
- Locate the original temperature alarm switch. Note wire routing and terminal orientation.
- Disconnect the lead, then unscrew the switch using the hex body. Catch residual coolant and keep the port clean.
- Compare the replacement to the original: OEM 128275-91340, 65°C alarm function, white insulated top, and single stud terminal.
- Install using the sealing method and tightening procedure in your Yanmar service manual. Do not apply force to the white insulator. Reconnect the terminal securely.
- Restore coolant as required, restore power, run the engine, and check for leaks plus normal alarm-circuit operation.
Gaskets, sealing washers, sealant, and coolant are not identified as included with this listing. Reuse or renew the original sealing arrangement only as your service manual requires.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Is this a genuine Yanmar part?
No. This is an aftermarket replacement manufactured to match the OEM-reference fit and function. It is not an OEM or factory Yanmar part.
Is this the alarm switch or the gauge sender?
It is the 65°C temperature alarm switch. It is not the variable sender used to drive an analog temperature gauge.
My catalog shows Recmar REC128275-91340 — is that the same?
Yes. REC128275-91340 is the Recmar aftermarket cross for Yanmar 128275-91340. Still verify raw-water cooling and physical form against the removed switch.
Is this the same as the 95°C Yanmar switch?
No. Yanmar 127610-91350 is a different 95°C switch typically used on freshwater / heat-exchanger cooled applications. This listing is only for 128275-91340 at 65°C.
Does every GM or HM use this switch?
No. Publish coverage is limited to the model codes in the compatibility table that call for 128275-91340 on direct raw-water cooling. Confirm cooling type, OEM number, and physical form; do not order by series name alone.
