Beneteau First 42 Manual

Letrappes · Jan 24, 2012

I purchased a Beneteau First 42 in December and am looking to find a manual for it. I have tons of paperwork in the boat but it was not included. I called the factory and they sent me a couple brochures but don't have a manual. Does anyone know where I might find one? I'm specifically looking for technical details such as how it was originally wired, plumbing runs, standing and running rigging specs, etc.

After a lot of trouble shooting and chasing gremlins I believe my issue is related to a leaking muffler. Has anyone successfully replaced theirs on the F42? Trying to figure out how much cutting is going to be required or if it can come through the front.

Hi Enyar,
Are you seeing a bilge leak when the engine is running?
We’ve a First 42 also and have this leak. I’m pretty sure it’s the exhaust hose. Did you replace yours? Seems like a bear of a job, no?
Best,
Darragh
