We've just given ours a clean, which has helped enormously! But yes, the plastic is aging at a different rate from the surrounding GRP. I'd be interested if you find a source
Do you have the 4 rocker push button starter panel? (I do, although it's not shown at all in the engine manual). If so the sequence is thusly:
Top left button = glow Top right button = on/start Bottom left button = stop Bottom right button = off
The sequence is therefore:
To start: top left, then top right
(hold top left down to glow the engine, then release, then press top right, whereupon it will scream at you and you can press it again and hold it until the engine fires)
To stop: bottom left, then bottom right
(press and hold bottom left until the engine dies and it screams at you, then bottom right to switch off the ignition)
I've just had to refresh all the labels - and add a label for the sequence - because it's amazing how many people can't get the hang of top left, top right or bottom left, bottom right!

Yes, but I haven't had time to work out how to post them!

Now are the pics visible enough as small pics? that does look nice, where can u get new Gauges.. my rpm one is all grazed over cracked and poor shape... if I can somehow get the panel off I'll just take it off and paint it with a plastic paint polymer and then put a clear lacquer over the top.. or urethane... Thanks

I guess that's what happens when the boat spends 7 years in the Caribbean.... I'm pretty much going through and replacing anything electrical display housings Chrome pieces or cosmetic items..

Mind you, mine hasn’t displayed engine hours for ages Worth having a look at night, I see nothing at all in daylight, but in the dark despite the rev counter being illuminated I can still make out the hours.

Has anyone replaced just the tachometer/hour meter? Find a source other than Yanmar?
The 2010 36i/3YM30 B-panel hour meter is getting nearly impossible to read. Since the fuel gauge is worthless, I depend heavily on the hour meter.
I am thinking of putting a supplemental meter across the blower power feed.

Regarding the tacho engine hours display, it seems a common problem. I do remember a thread some time back by someone who took apart the tacho, and found the problem was corroded contacts on a small ribbon wire. Apparently, the meter had continued to accumulate the hours, and only the display was faulty. Apparently the problem was fixed. Worth trawling through posts possibly a few years old, perhaps in General Jeanneau topics. Sorry my memory of who and when is not helping.
Mine was working at the time, but failed soon after. But then after a year or so of always blank, I noticed the reading visible again, showing something reasonable, after a long motoring trip that ended in the dark. But unfortunately only for that one occassion. But it does appear that the total is still accumulating in the instrument. I need to pluck up the courage to try the fix.

I have the same problem. The display on our 42ds is almost invisible, but hours are still accumulating (when I can read it).

Thanks Malcolm, yes, that is the one.
I still have my Picaxe based hour meter ready for a proper case, it's time I got back to it.

Well, it's clear that this is not a trivial repair or a reasonable replacement cost. Even though one of the links offered plenty of detail, the fix apparently wasn't long-lasting. It seemes the best solution is to install a separate hour meter as Rene suggests and others have done. And we're in the midst of cruising season.
I think I'll buy an hour meter off eBay and tie it to the blower leads. I just need to run it 40 days to get close.

Is there a part number for this Instrument panel or at least the plastic section Where everything is mounted into

Post by Trevor on Aug 11, 2018 11:39:05 GMT
Yes, I would like to buy that panel as well. Not sure of they are available but it would be nice to be able to replace it as it is cracked on our boat and looking a bit shabby.
Regards,
Trevor

According to spareparts.jeanneau.com the bezel for the 36i (which looks the same as yours) is part number 990635. It's $203 but they don't have them in stock. You might be able to get one from your local jeanneau dealer.

I bought this meter for $14 US: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CNK58SI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I installed long pigtails and split the feed to the engine compartment blower which is always on when the key is. I used cable ties to support the meter until I can build a mount from polyethylene (King Starboard), much like Don Reaves has described (Malcolm's link, above). Seems to be working fine and just one time in two weeks aboard was I able to read the VDO tach display, so now I just add 974.1 hours to whatever the new meter reports to get a total. Mostly what I need is hours since last fill anyway. Alas, For Grins Too is on the hard until May. Geoff

Really really nice! How much to make us one?!

That is really nice woodwork, really compliments the boat. I like it. Great location for the fuel gauge too. I have to squat down on the floor to read the OEM location in the aft cabin.
We have a similar engine panel, the one with four buttons, no key, but mounted in a recess moulded in the fibreglass, which also has the shelf for the plexiglass.
Our sun is diabolical on plastic. When the boat, also 2009, was new, my wife made a simple denim square and stuck stick on velcro (the soft side) above the clear plastic and down each side to hold it in place. The plastic still is clear and the panel looks fine, though as I have said above, the hours display has not worked for some time. Even the material still is serviceable though always in place when we leave the boat. Has not blown off in the wind so far. I know it is too late now for the original, but worth considering a protective cover for the new one.
Bought the remaining parts for that Picaxe project which is programmed with my best estimate of the hours to date, and discovered I can easily install it using the plug which held that relay which charges the house battery from the alternator. It was removed long ago and replaced by a two way VSR so both batteries are charged by either the alternator of the solard panel. It will be in the cabin, but easy to read. Now to finish the job and instal it!
