Heating installation for Sun Odyssey 319

[hagakure]

Dear members and all Jeanneau engineers,

I'm new in this forum and I'm now also an owner for a Sun Odyssey 319.

I bought it in May this year and had already a lot of fun with it.

Now I would like to upgrade the ship with a heating system.

This is also offered in the official price-list of SO 319.

But now I’m unhappy about the information that the only way is to cut the fuel tube of the engine

and insert a T-connector to supply the heating system.

I know this way but it's usually not recommended and it's not state of the art of a Jeanneau yacht?

Or is it true if the yacht is already built?

I would prefer a separate fuel tube for the heating system.

By the way a second question. My dealer told me to install the heating system it's a little bit complicated.

Because there is no stop-cock for the diesel-fuel.

Thanks a lot for answers to make a decision.

Best Regards

I can't see a problem with putting a tee in the existing fuel line as long as you do it right. I would also put a ball valve on the new branch.

First you should make sure there isn't already an extra fuel dip tube on your tank.

A separate pick-up tube for the heater would mean that you could set it higher in the tank than the pick-up tube for the engine, ensuring that you don't use all your fuel for heating.

Thanks for your answer.

I know this way to use a tee in the fuel line. But this is not my favorite way.

Is an extra fuel dip tube on the tank a standard for Jeanneau ships?

We have a separate pick-up line. I don't know if it was installed by Jeanneau France or by the Swedish Jeanneau dealer. In any case, it does not look like a difficult installation. You only need access to a small area on top of the fuel tank where you can drill a hole.

I didn't like to cut a hole in the type of plastic fuel tanks as used by Jeanneau, so I used the T (also recommended by the Dutch Jeanneau importer.. It runs without any difficulty for already more 10 years.

I just looked at the fuel tank on my 39i, and it has 2 fuel pickups and a return line.

Hello all, I am new to the forum as I am now 4 weeks proud owner of a Sun Odyssey 319 with lifting keel as I like to wander around Friesland and the Waddenzee in the Netherlands. I have found a beauty twice preowned and only 3 years old. All the wear was from not using her. I have two questions;
Did anyone have a layout for a heater (webasto/planar) and the piping for a 319?
I have a furling self tacking jib that does not want to unfurl any suggestions?
And now I am asking anyway, does anyone has experience with a code 0 on a 319 as the jib is quite small it seem a good idea.

Looking forward to your replies

Happy Sailing Sebastiaan,

Thanks a lot it does help. Will post some pics if I am going to install the heater.

Hey! your in the Netherlands , of course you will install heating.

As no owner of your model has joined us, ..... when I looked at my installing of heating it was a 50/50 ..... port or starboard , and transome mount or in a locker , ... and the fridge made the decision for me as there didn't seem enough room behind it for a 90mm duct, perhaps yours has more room, but installing a heated duct next to the fridge just didn't seem a good idea to me.

I got my heater kit from Mellor online, and they send things abroad as well, I went Eberspacher, not the cheapest, but it is quiet and works well, you could checkout their marine kits , my only mistake was installing neoprene ducting, ... there is another thread on that, it smells, so don't use it.

When you look closely at your boat you will see a good duct route, and the ducting is where most of the work is.
I would also recommend a new dip tube into your tank, it's not difficult, you just have to overcome the dread of drilling a new hole into an otherwise well sealed tank,  but better to keep the engine supply just for the engine in my opinion.

Photos will be good for future owners.
Good luck

Thanks a lot for your help. Last January 2022 I installed a planar 2d in the starboard port locker, under the existing shelf. Positioned at an angle this way so the heater can be used under sail. The fuel line and pump under the decking in the locker, the pickup has been prepared by Jeanneau. The fully insulated exhaust with an s-bend up and down again to the outside, about 30-40 cm above engine exhaust. The 60mm Webasto hot air pipe also fully insulated (Webasto Thermoduct) on the starboard side with outlet in the head, under the chart table (prepared by Jeanneau) under the bench in front (prepared by Jeanneau) and in the tip under the starboard locker. Only had to drill the outlets and exhaust. Easy job, if I can do it. I have not made any pictures, and I will make some next time. Now looking for a Raymarine auto pilot and ais...but first Christmas

Good to know it went ok. Congratulations on finishing that job. It sounds easy but installing a heater has many parts to it and it takes a bit of effort to finish the job.
