We have a 42cc launched in March 2006. It is the only one in NZ and I would welcome the opportunity to communicate with other owners. It is possibly the only Burgundy hull as we had it painted from new.

Boyd, looks like Harry is familiar with the problem and fix. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes.

I have seen the problem you are describing in the 42cc’s and 423’s. Unless your hull is still under warranty you are pretty much on your own. Perhaps Beneteau would send you a drawing which will give you a better idea of what you’re working with.
Repairs have been successfully made. In these cases, access was gained by carefully cutting through the top cover to get to the top of the tank. Once there, a large diameter 7” hole saw is used to get into the tank itself. A Watertight Locker Door Type TCL/4 can be used to cover the hole once the repair has been completed. The choice of repair materials is up to the owner. Splash has been successfully in some cases. By no means use any sealants like 4200 or 5200…. Good luck..

Boyd, did you post this problem on The Beneteau Owners website about 2 weeks ago? Someone did and I was wondering if it was you. Did Beneteau give you any ideas if the tank was part of the hull liner? I've never know them to do so but it doesn't mean they didn't on your model. Do you have the room to install a new inspection port? I would think you could do it a lot cheaper than $700 providing you had the space.

Gaye, have you tried contacting Beneteau? I just checked their on line parts system for that piece and didn't see it listed. That doesn't mean they can't get it for you. I'd give them a call.

Boyd, it's doubtful the water tanks are part of the hull liner. Beneteau uses seperate poly tanks. Are you sure it's the tank that's leaking?
