As I've installed a new windlass this year I would like to sell my old Leroy Somer for parts. This is the kind of windlass that , at the time , was often used by Jeanneau. The electric motor does not work as it has worn/broke carbon brush module , it is however part of the package I would like...

I replaced our previous manual toilets (two) with electrical ones. Next to the noise I see nothing but advantages. No more clogging up of the 3way valves as everything comes out as premix soup. We did get rid off that insanely annoying pumping. Everytime we leave the boat for a longer period I...

No offence intended , but i find it strange that most of you haven't heard of completely insulated engines. There's quite a few discussions going on other board about corrosion , pitting shafts , props etc. Up to now mine are spotless. This is my setup. I agree , could of gotten away with a...

Let me tell you a brief story of a fellow boater I know. His engine was also insulated from the neg. , meaning starter and alternator were/are ( like mine) designed so no neg could/would reach the engine block. He bought this boat second hand and was not aware the previous owner had replaced the...

Methinks , you're not aware that ALL Jeanneaus are equipted with a lead/connecting from the engine to the strut. Regards

With all due respect Vic , I think you underestimate what stray currents can do. Apparently Colin has a neg on the engine which is absolutely not a good thing. Normally the engine is connected to the P-bracket with a separate lead to avoid electrochemical corrosion on engine parts. There should...

Guys , it has been said already , but I also keep telling people , put a zinc on the P-bracket . Is your engine mass shielded ? Meaning , is the negative to be found on the engine block . Hopefully not. If it's a shielded one , have you recently renewded starter , alternator with a...

Mat , any hints on the price ? Regards

Ok , last suggestion before you cut anything off and lose alot of $$$$$. Scroll backward to my post where I gave you the link to the multitool. Look at the procedure again , try and get a flange that fits the purpose , 4 bolts & nuts and improvise with an object that I referred to as " the...

Heat the flange with a hotair gun after you brought the puller under tension , then bash the flange with a hammer as Richard said , turn the shaft 90° and hit the flange again , it simply has to give. You did get the nut off yes ?! Regards

There is indeed , with a self sealing nut. Be sure to replace/renew it after you took the shaft out. Wouldn't be the first time the nut comes off due to vibrations . If that happens you could be lucky if the rudder prevent the shaft and prop from taking a dive. But if it happens whilst going in...

Have a look at this , maybe it will help you out. You dont need to make the actual tool itself , but perhaps you can pick up a few ideas. http://www.jeanneau-owners2.com/hintsandtips/id134.htm Regards EDIT: before I forget , trys to avoid whacking out the cutless bearing ( if that's on...

Re: Ok So how do I start Not sure if this arrives in time nor if it's helpfull in this case , maybe in the future. http://www.jeanneau-owners2.com/hintsandtips/id265.htm Regards

Mac , all I know is that when I set mine , the flap version , the rolling stops instantaneously . I use the (un)happy smile on my wife's face as the ultimate criterion. I'm sure when my second FS will play along , I'll be getting more than just that smile :p That's why we do it don't we guys...

Thanks for sharing aluijten , a clear explanation. And I totaly agree , the cradle or holder is way overpriced , for what it represents anyway. Regards
