Hi, I have bought a 51, just looking to see if there are other owners out there? It would be good to do some comparisons. Love the boat, its my third Jeanneau.

Hi Ania, what sort of issues? I have some movement of the wood inside but thats fixable, some oil leak but should be easy to deal with but the one I am more concerned about is the transom, its a little "fragile" i think maybe needs some bolstering?
We took the boat for about 1500 miles coastal over the past month and it went really well with breeze forward of the beam but seems sluggish aft of the beam so needs more sail, did you get the code 0 or gennaker?

Well, to start Major one, FlexoFold prop creates severe vibration between 1900 and 2400 rpm, we had to temporarily replace it with fixed pitch one, and dealer had to ship our prop back to manufacturer. While we paid for fresh water flush heads, turned out it had raw water intake, so plumbing had to be redone; Autopilot oversteers when new heading is selected, so, say we are sailing 200 degrees, and right turn to 240 is selected, boat would go to 280, than to 220, than to 260, and than settles at 240, pretty much same thing happens with "navigating to" autopilot function, that hasn't been addressed yet. Huge chunk of paint fell off the keel, had to be resended and repainted. Yes, transom feels flimsy under the ladder not sure how to address that. Little things like USB ports and some power outlets didn't work, some interior issues... Its out of the water in NJ right now, we will see how it goes in spring.

Hi Ania, wow you have had some issues. We haven't been under the boat yet but hope we don't have the same problem with the keel. Haven't had the same number of issues at this stage, have just been minor things like an oil leak and a cabin door moved a bit so needed adjustment to refit. Otherwise all good at this stage. We got ours in September how old is your boat? I will get some photos up on the site.

I guess first image should be second since it was after dealer took care of the issue.

Wow, thats not a good look. Makes our issues very small.
I hope the dealer looks after you, it looks like they are?
I need to post some photos as well and will work out how when i get some time. Our current issue is where the ladder touches the transom when deployed, there is a crack there already and it needs some kind of protection, have you had that problem? I think our hull number is 25 but I will check.
We have had a great summer in it to date doing over 1,000 miles in different trips and while the boat needs additional sails it has generally performed well, certainly comfortable.
I will get some photos to you soon.

They do look after us, flex o fold prop just came from manufacturer, so we will be testing it in March. I know what you are talking about about transom being super flimsy, will ask dealer how to deal with it. It bends every time you step on the ladder and definitely must be addressed especially if you climb on board with diving gear. Interesting how they are going to fix it. We also just ordered Code Zero 166 square meters, with Harken Reflex Unit 2 furler, that should be here in march as well. Other than that boat sails amazingly well and solid, we enjoyed it.

No ours is the folding prop. We have the 110 Myanmar motor which gives us 8.5 knots at 2200 revs or 9+ at 2800 revs. It is shaft drive but has serious left hand reverse prop work.

RPM 2000 1.3GPM 7.4knots 2100 1.5 7.8 2200 1.8 8.1 2300 1.9 8.3 2400 2.2 8.5 2500 2.6 8.7

Hi Im looking for a Jeanneau 51 owners in order to exchange inofrmation about some issues that Im coping
Most of tham are related to details like water inside the cockpit trought dog house ,
wetting the cushions through the 4 wells on the deck.
Let me know what you think about the operation of the lid on the stove, preventing access to condiments and seasonings while the lid is collected and locked.
the hinge motor cap simply did not supported the factory fixture and broke the wood preventing the opening and support by the shock absorbers

Do you guys know if bilge pump directly wired into batttaries or it goes through the normal switching, I can’t find info on it in the manual.

Jeanneau puts switches for the bilge pump(s) onto the main DC panel.

Well, I am aware of that.
I guess question is, what happens if batteries are disconnected?
