Hi, that’d work - PM me your email. I’m not down at the boat until Sunday, but will try and photo the manual and switches then. I can also send you a shot of the switch panel from the onboard camera tomorrow when the light comes up 👍. From memory bottom right is motor, and one up is negative.

Hi - I have a JP 34 , albeit with D4 260's. I have a copy of the manual, so if he's desperate I could photo it ( not sure how many pages is is!) and send it across electronically? not as good a s the original, but may help

Thanks - they have vodia, and I’ll get them to plug it in. Do you think is likely a sensor, or another mechanical problem? I’ve tried a bit of searching, but couldn’t find any reports of similar fault, so wondered if other may have had seen this before. Cheers

Hi all, I’ve got a Jeanneau prestige 34 with VP D4260’s, 650hrs. On 3 or 4 recent occasions I’ve had a ‘check engine’ error message on the starboard engine if I go WOT when accelerating , or going for a high speed run. The first time it was accompanied by a limp mode/ limited revs and...

awesome, perfect, thanks again

yep, 100% agree, there has been several of those messages and calls to the broker, but at least I now feel like I've got to grips with most of the systems that are new to me with the new boat and not broken anything (yet). The autopilot worked last weekend, I can't get it to auto advance to...

So! It turns out that if you turn on the big button called ‘autopilot’ the AP can see the drives! 🤬 😳thanks for jerbro and Paul for taking the time to reply- I’ve learnt something now! Cheers Pete

:ROFLMAO: - I told you I knew nothing 😁. I’m on the boat on Friday, so will take a look. Appreciate the pointers on the fact there is a difference

brilliant thanks, I'll start there - the drives are VP DPH. Cheers

Great thanks - presumably I’m looking to make sure it can see the ACU?

Hi All, I've recently bought a new to me boat with a Axiom MFD, and a Raymarine P70s autopilot. I had the autopilot engaging correctly 2 weeks ago and steering towards the correct heading, and I have it on good authority from a professional skipper that it was engaging correctly during a...

Hi capnjack, I've checked right through now, and im sure the pick up is clear, and on muffs the water flows through into the housing very well and i have back flushed to check as well. I'll drop the leg (again!), and check but im pretty confident it'll be ok as i only ran for a very short...

Hi. Ive now re-attached the leg with the new impellor and the symptoms are the same - pumps water on the muffs fine, but not in a bucket. The lowest i can get the intakes in the bucket is about 1 inch below the water. Do you think i need to remove and reinspect the impeller? The only part...

ok, I've now got the gearbox off and managed to inspect the impeller, see the images below - the impeller definitely looks very burnt, and as you can see is fairly mangled. it obviously looks as though it has overheated, which I really can't understand as it hasn't been run without water? I...

Thanks spannerman. I replaced the housing and gaskets when i did the impellor. Ill check all gaskets and seals look sound and the tooth is correctly on the impellor. Any other gotchas you can think of? Thanks again.
