Beneteau 44 Swift Trawler Annapolis
I know that 99(.9?) % are you sail boaters, but it's still good that this topic for Swift Trawler owners has been added.

We now have logged 160 hours on own 2012 ST44, our first boat.

I have been learning the various systems on board and have discovered MANY pesky idiosyncrasies. All but a few are quite minor.

The dealer has been fixing most of them under the new boat warranty.

The open items I consider major:
1) small diesel leak at a cross-over valve
2) engine oil consumption on both Volvo D4's
3) Sirius Weather / Raymarine incompatability
4) Black water gauge does not work
5) fresh water accumulation in bilge

It will be very helpful to hear from other Beneteau owners about their experiences.

Thank You!

I take it you resolved these on your own
No, the engines are still using oil excessively. Volvo is involved.
The black water gauge still malfunctions.
Diesel leak was fixed by dealer.
Sirius Weather seems fixed through unsubscribe/ re subscribe.
Fresh water leak found and repaired myself.
