Hi folks,Hi melcolm, I'm still looking for one of those DS. One of them,a 2005 has a 55 hp Volvo engine with low houres on it.To my best knoledge Jeanneau fitted those 40 ds only with Yanmar 56 hp engines.Is it possiable to find those Volvo engines on the 40 ds these years ?

Hi
Whilst I don't know specifically for the SO40DS I strongly suspect that both Volvo nd Yanmar where on the options list at the same time (When we bought a 2001 SO34.2 we could have specified Nanni, Yanmar or Volvo)
It is only in more recent years Jeanneau seem to have tied up exclusivity with engine suppliers,
In conclusion I suspect that you will need to check each spec irrespective of year of build
cheers
Malcolm

Danciger,
first of all , my 40DS 1999 has a 50 hp Volvo Penta / Perkins M50. Second , dont hesitate buying it (if the price is ok :-) ) , its a great ship and i dont regret the purchase one bit. As far as can remember , the 40DS was build up to 2005 then the 39 was introduced as replacement. Yanmar was common in that end stage , but maybe the previous owner chose for a Volvo Penta. Even at the beginning you could go for VP or Yanmar.
You speak about low hours on it , how much would that be than ?
Beste regards
