The USA market was fed by the Jeanneau factory in Cadillac Michigan, but they are closing this year and shifting all manufacturing to Polen, so the delays will probably increase next year.
We just (yesterday) took delivery of our preowned Mar/April 2021 NC795 as it’s called here in USA. Ours only had 13 hrs on it when we started checking it.
New ones were all sold already. It’s one of the hottest boat on the market. Ours came with the Yamaha 200, but I really was looking for the 250. It performs Ok but we’re only 2 in the boat and it’s not loaded down yet!!
How is the 795 with the 250? Anyone with a 300?
We have the Fridge and AC but not the Lithium batteries. We might go for that or a smallish generator for camping out. We’re in Florida so it’s hot here most of the time.
Has anyone installed window tints to cut down on the heat/sun/UV?
One of my pet Pieve are the windshield vipers. Ours starts/stops in the middle and not like the sales brochure at the sides. It also leaves a big blind spot in the middle of the screen where the vipers do not reach. Has anyone modified this?
We bought a mini Sd card for South FL for our Garmin echomap uhd 93 and it was $350 at West Marine in Florida. I understand you can use Active captain to download free maps but I wanted it at my fingertips at all time. It works well.
I know, many questions but I’m over all happy with the boat. Just some stuff to iron out.
Thanks,
Erik
Window tints help considerably in hot areas to lower inside temperature like around 5 degrees centigrade. This is not enough but it is something. Also they provide good protection from sun rays for your eyes. I am in south of Turkey in the med. However if you go for a total tint, you wont be able to see outside after dark. The front window may be tinted from the top partially like in cars. I would recommend leaving some portions untinted adjecent to the pilot on port and starboard side windows.
As for the windshield wipers, they are angle adjustable. I am not sure but I think they can also work in parallel and intermittently, if set so. They are set at 45 degrees default by the manufacturer. Jeanneau puts them as they come from the box and makes no adjustments. They can go as for as 110 degrees. Some do it following instructions from the internet. But I found someone in the marina to solve the problem. A good dealer may also help, if they want to.
I hope this helps. Safe cruises and best regards
