440: Anyone in UK got an L440?

[Coastgal]

Hi there - has anyone on the South Coast of England got an L440?

I've got one in Spain - my heating engineer has an urgent question about it, but I can't get out to the boat for another month.

Please do PM me if you'd be happy to talk to me about your boat.

Many thanks - Stacey

Anyone know where the fuse/trip switch is for the plugs in the saloon... the hulls work fine and everything else.. just lost the plugs in the saloon..

Hhmmm.
There is a circuit breaker in the cupboard behind the door into the aft port cabin. I thought it was for all shore power coming in. Further, on my main power board, on the RHS (220/240V) set of breakers, there are 4 breakers, one for the cabin outlets, one for the saloon outlets and one each for the battery charger and hot water.
Hope this helps.

Actually, I'm American and French boat manufacturers just don't do customer service. Once the boat leaves their factory they wash their hands of it. After-sales service means you buy another boat

Have you tried a Beneteau dealer. I have found them to be very helpful.

Hi Nigel - thanks for your reply. Yes, we have tried various dealers, but there just aren't many L440s on the South Coast, though an elusive one was spotted in Chichester marina last week, so I'll be winging my way down there soon
