Does anyone know how to get a replacement cowling that goes around the emergency steering gubbins on a 2008 SO32i If so do they come in metal ? The plastic gets quickly brittle from UV. Many thanks.

On the 39i the cover is s/s or alloy, not sure if it is the same as the 32i but a good chance
If they look the same you should be able to order one from your nearest Jeanneau agent

Hi milnabb, It's a bit of a poor design issue, firstly the steering part and then the thin plastic cover. I had 2 covers send from the UK to Australia. Now 2 years later the first one has faded and started to crack, may have to keep the 2nd one for the day we sell her. If you find a better solution let all us 32's know  Cheers |

Sorry to add to this old post, but did anyone sort out whether the stainless SO39 part will fit?
The plastic cowl on Deep Joy has finally given up the ghost, and I had been thinking about making a mould from it and fabricating a much more substantial unit in gelcoat and GRP, but if there is an easier way, I'd love to know.
All the best
Jon

Good evening,
I've just had a replacement white plastic part from Jeanneau through a local Chandler. It doesn't even fit. I'm going to have to grind off the rim and cut a hole for the rudder head boss, by which time its likely to have cracked and I can order another.
Pour design - nil points

I haven't posted for ages since starting this thread but here's an update. I didn't in the end check out the so39 option but a suggestion that a speaker housing would work did the job quite well. I needed to cut a hole in the top for access. By drilling about 40 small holes in a circle and sanding smooth with 100 grade paper it worked a treat. That said it is an awful design!

I managed to repair mine, using fibreglass matting and polyester resin. Mine broke at the holes for the fixing screws, as the base was very thin, with only a couple of laminations, so I added a lot more thickness to the base flange, and then after rubbing down, sprayed it with white gloss paint. It looks OK, and certainly appears to be more robust.
If it ever breaks again, I'll use it to make a mould and then laminate up a new one with a much more substantial layup.
