Beneteau 43 sterntube leak

  • We need some help with a problem. Beneteau has a hose attached to the stern tube to lubricate the cutlass bearing. Unfortunately ours has broken off and I need to create a more permanent solution but our boat is in the Bahamas and we are back home in Canada. am hoping someone with a 43 could take a picture of the sterntube area and post it so I can determine how much room we have to come up with a solution to our problem. I know this is a real pain and can only offer that we will post the solution and this will help everyone in the group,

If you haven't had a reply try the Beneteau 40 43 group. Other wise I can take photo in next couple of days on a 2010 French built 43. I've added you as friend so can email

B43 Windlass Drainage

Doing some maintenance on my B43 Quick Antares windlass this year.
