We had a deep freeze, down to -15C, and I guess I hadn't drained the hose in the cockpit very well, because the spray-head cracked. Might anyone know where I might find a replacement? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you. But for what it's worth, this has happened to many people.
The simplest thing to do to prevent the problem is to remove the handle from the hose and store it in a safe place for the winter. It also makes it much easier to drain the hose.

Your local dealer should be able to get you a new spray head. On my 895 I installed an in line shutoff where the line passes near the water heater. In winter I shut it off and drain the line a bit with the sprayer. This way I can use the water system year round.

I found the best bet to find a replacement head that fits [not necessarily identical to the damaged original] is an R/V sales and parts outlet. They are a much bigger market than yachts.

Thanks! Turns out there are a lot of different spray heads for that hose, but getting *exactly* the right one (which is this one, it seems) is best because the little socket in the cockpit seems to be carefully designed so it just fits in.

Thanks in advance. I would ask the local Jeanneau dealer. When you get your new spray head, remove it in winter and empty it carefully. There is always some water inside, no matter what you do with the hoses, and when it freezes, it tends to crack the plastic. But be careful not to let the hose slip inside the hull. It may be a good idea ro wrap some steel wire or something around the hose end.

We solve the freezing problem by living in the tropics. That said ours also died from old age and we got a replacement off the shelf at our local chandlery. As above I believe it was Plastimo.

A bit late to comment but I am pretty sure the rear deck spray head is manufactured by Osculati. It is freely available in the UK. ps. I also split the same unit by not draining the line ( I like to use my boat occasionally over the winter). In a separate post on the forum the topic was raised where to fit an isolating valve- the only experience given was close to the pump, which might work but I don’t know if that would also isolate the galley sink ( unacceptable). So I am still seeking advice as to the route of the rear deck supply - any ideas?
