Jeanneau 57 Spare Parts / Schematic for Companionway

[Zanshin]

I used to be able to access the Jeanneau parts site, but it has been a while since I logged in and it seems that my old userid and password no longer work. My dealer, Bay Yacht Agency in Annapolis, no longer exists, so I can't contact them to renew access.

The companionway door on the J57 consists of two halves which are connected by a belt system to open simultaneously. My doors have jammed and the access to the mechanism means removing a lot of components and I can't get any further right now - the main piece is structurally bolted and glued on and I've just spend two hours trying to remove it without breaking something. I fear that I've got a lot of 5200 to remove.

But before doing that, I'd like to see the schematics of the companionway mechanism so that I might be able to rectify the problem without further disassembly.

Does someone here still have access and could take a screenshot or download a pdf?

I believe that Jeanneau parts website is now only accessible by dealers. Kind of a bummer. But I do think there is a current Jeanneau dealer in Annapolis.

I've contacted Jeanneau directly. The first response came quickly, and they sent me the owner's manual. Then I responded with a "Thanks, I have that already" and then they said they don't have that information and I'd have to contact the naval architects directly. I responded with the comment that I'd already seen the schematics on their website when I had access to it and all I wanted was the parts list and drawing and I'm waiting on a reply to that. Let's see what transpires now...

Good luck Zanshin. Hope they respond with the information. Cheers Malcolm

The next Jeanneau answer this morning was that I need to go through my dealer; despite my having informed them that my dealer no longer exists (Bay Yacht Agency in Annapolis). If they'd just given me the screenshot of the parts schematic they would have had a lot less work and not gotten a disgruntled customer. Since I can't close the doors it is a security problem when I leave the boat.

Hi Zanshin, have you tried [e-mail] address? That used to be their general contact.
Good luck.

I got access to the parts site, but the door section has no schematic. Luckily, one of the dealers in the US (Crusader Yachts) is helping me and might find something. I am not optimistic about not having to remove several running feet of 5200 or Sikaflex.
