Hi Ania, I had to get someone in to polish the fuel which is a process where they pump the tanks out into a separator which removes the water from the fuel and then we returned the clean fuel to the tank once the tank was dry which you can do by removing the fuel filter which has a primer to remove water built in. Before we did that we had the filler cap replaced under warranty, Jeanneau covered the total cost. The new cap is a metal one which is raised slightly from the deck. We spent some time proving that the cap was the issue by disconnecting the filler from the hose below deck and then placing a bottle under the hose and spraying the deck down with water. We then left it overnight to see what came in, it was quite a lot.

Yes absolutely and using that test will prove it to your dealer. Yep, got ours replaced today. Commissioning water maker now, a beast at 30 gall per hour. Also, did they reinforce your transom panel? Looks like our dealer mx will be doing it next week.

Guys, did anybody change their generator oil ? Seems to be really hard place to get to, filter and release valve. Also our generator enclosure wasn’t attached to the base check yours, You have to unscrew inspection panels on both sides to see the attachment brackets.

We did get the transom reinforced by the dealer but also where the swim ladder rubs against it we are looking at a metal strip to stop the gel coat cracking.

Transom is off to get reinforced, Goody, our dealer is asking how did they reinforced yours. 0 particles per million H2O from the watermaker

Anybody know what is “AUX” switch on the electric panel for? I was about to ask the same question, but I think it must be a spare for any other 12 volt equipment you might wish to fit. While on the subject, the panel to the right of the battery switches located at the end of the VIP berth has, on my boat, 7 overload cut out switches, 3 for the electric winches, 1 for the anchor windlass, 1 for the hydraulic passerelle, and 1 for the inverter, and lastly 1 that I have no idea what it is for. I did think it was for the electric bathing platform but when I turn it off the platform still operates, could it be for the generator?

We only have 3 electric. falcondrv.tumblr.com/private/image/184507538213/tumblr_pqolzhutaG1x3u88w

Hi Ania, When our boat was commissioned the Jeanneau agent told us Aux is a spare (at least on our boat) even though it lights up when flicked on. On the VIP overload switches we only have 4 = for 3 winches and anchor winch. We do not have the terrace or the fwd Sth winch electric. Cheers Mark

Hi All, I have a problem with the positive post on the main switchboard. I had an anomoly in the voltage showing on the aftermarket monitor and the switchboard and when we opend the board up the post had sheared off and was only just hanging on by a thread. This is quite a major as it is intrigal to the board so the board will need removing and I dont think they can just fix it, I think they need to replace the whole thing. Either way i wont be boating for a few weeks while they sort it.
Anyone else had any issues? It may oay to check your board and make sure the posts are not loose.

Hi Ania, I will get one when I go to the boat next, so that you can look correctly you open the door to the main switch panel above the chart table and then it is the main positive post (bolt) that is welded through the back of the board. It looks like metal fatique which is going to be hard to identify but you shoul djust check that it is not loose.

Hi all, just for your information Jeanneau have sent a replacement unit to replace our electrical board and it was fitted yesterday successfully. They really came through with this one in good time.

Hi Goody, Good to hear it was addressed quickly. We have just returned to Lake Macquarie after 10 weeks away (Jenneau Rendezvous at Pittwater, Sail Port Stephens Regatta and cruising Sydney Harbour and Pittwater/ Hawkesbury River. Back in the lake until April 2020 when we head to Southport to join the "Go East Rally" to New Cal and Vanuatu ... so if you are over this way in the next nine months let me know and maybe we can show you a bit of Oz largest saltwater lake. Cheers Mark & Carolanne

So, we just finished our Hampton Bermuda crossing, had to use engine a lot and we also had "water in fuel" alarm. We have option with two tanks, and no issue whatsoever with starboard tank. Port tank gave us all the problems. had to drain water from the filter 6 times or so. We were fuel critical because of the head winds all the way crossing over to Bermuda and it was nerve wrecking sort of. Hi ania , I am just about to sign on a dotted line for a purchase of JY 51 hull#20 (second hand) and have a few last minute doubts In one of your posts you mentioned you experienced a 'water in fuel' alarm during one of your passages. (quoted above) Would you mind describing what happened and how it was resolved? Is this a design problem with this model that a dealer/warranty ought to address? Also, was wondering if there were any other issues that you or others may think of, worth putting in as conditions of purchase for the dealer to address with the manufacturer prior to me taking possession? Appreciate any help cheers -maciek

Dealer ended up replacing fueling filler. You have to be very careful not to over tighten these fueling caps, because if you do it might break internal thread and it will not be sealed anymore. There should be a plastic wrench for those purposes. Pay more attention to dinghy davits, they are not sealed and will let water in especially in extended position.

Have they figured out permanent fix for the leaky davits by any chance?

Guys quick question if you have DW70BT Icemaker, it is running only on 110-220V power. I was reading the manual and it states that it could use both 110-220 and 12-24Volts is it true? Would like to set it up with DC power as well since main refrigerator freezer is just not enough for us.

Sorry Ania can't help. We didn't tick that box for electric icemaker from Jeanneau - Mine was installed after commissioning and runs on Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz

Would like to set it up with DC power as well since main refrigerator freezer is just not enough for us. Hi, we thought the 220volt freezer with ice maker draw unsuitable when cruising away from a marina so asked Jeanneau to supply and fit a 12 volt version, however, it doesn’t have the ice making facility. Unfortunately the version you have would need to be run constantly on an inverter or generator whilst sailing and anchoring.
