Attached photo is whats left of the hose tail on my 40.3. Yacht was purchased 2006 & is fitted with a Yanmar 4JH engine. If this wasnt discovered during routine maintenance the results could have been disastrous.  |

Good thing you showed this to usJohn.
Absolutely to check by all 40.3 owners .
But do you have any other ' consumed ' parts , because that could prove something else is going on no ?
Not sure about Yanmar , but is that also an isolated engine , meaning no negative on the engine ?
Regards

The tail on the engine inlet seacock of the 3JH4E in my 39DS of 2007 vintage snapped off during maintenance. I have now replaced all the seacocks below the waterline and would recommend any owner to do the same for peace of mind. |

I've previously posted here with pics in the hints & tips section of the hose tail from a1999 34.2 in a similar condition. Unfortunately Jeanneau like most if not all other manufacturers are using cr4p brass fittings . This is the EU directive that sea clocks and fittings should last 5 years!!!! So everyone stopped using more expensive bronze or DZR which will last a long time to cheap brass cr4p which will last 5years and 1 day....... If you're lucky!
