I just made 3 succesive comments in "ChitChat"/Folding prop problems. All about Yanmar Technical bulletins. Those bulletins are sent to distributors of Yanmar products, but if I may ask - Did you know about the existence of the mentioned bulletins?
1) Correct use of folding propeller
2) Wrong markings on dipstick on SD50
3) Use of Biodiesel
4) Use of synthetic engine oil
Some or all of these have been mentioned in this forum, but new members may not have read all the posts in all forums all the way back to when I recieved "Freya" as brand new "Boat of the Year" 12½ years ago.

All these bulletins are about possible damage to your engine or saildrive, so if you do not already know them, it may be about time to read up on the subjects.

At the moment I don't recall more bulletins, but members wiht a better memory than mine, may post a comment here.

And as I have mentioned a couple of times: Use the search function, it contains a lot of useful stuff.

Hi Marco
The paper about synthetic oil is in fact already on wesailhanse.se, look under "Yanmar........Oil and cooling agent........Information.
About bio-diesel you can find the bulletin here: https://www.yanmarmarine.com/theme/yanmarportal/uploadedFiles/Marine/GTB2008004_B5_biodiesel.pdf

I give an extract for the owners with little patience to search the net:

"Listing of YMI engines approved for B5 Biodiesel use:
 1GM10, 2YM15, 3YM20, 3YM30
 3JH4E, 4JH3-TE, 4JH3-HTE, 4JH3-DTE, 4JH4E, 4JH4-TE, 4JH4-HET, 4JH4AE
 4LHA-HTP, 4LHA-HTZP, 4LHA-DTP, 4LHA-DTZP, 4LHA-STP, 4LHA-STZP
 4BY150, 4BY150Z, 4BY180, 4BY180Z, 6BY220, 6BY220Z, 6BY260, 6BY260Z
 6LPA-DTP, 6LPA-DTZP, 6LPA-STP, 6LPA-STP2, 6LPA-STZP, 6LPA-STZP2
 6LYA-STP, 6LY2A-STP, 6LY3-ETP, 6LY3-STP, 6LY3-UTP,
 6CXM-GTE2
 6SY-STP, 6SY-STP2, 6SY655, 8SY-STP
Precautions:
Biodiesel blends have a higher content of methyl- esters, which may deteriorate certain metal, rubber
and plastic components of the fuel system. Other characteristics are higher moisture content, cold
temperature flow and damage to painted surfaces. Fuel supply and return system components that are
not compatible with biodiesel could deteriorate and cause damage to the engine’s fuel system. Failure
caused by non-compatible material will void the engine warranty. Customer and or Boat builder are
responsible to verify the usage of biodiesel compatible components on the vessel fuel supply and return systems."    .....Copyright belongs to the above mentioned Yanmarmarine.com

This debate originally started in ChitChat "Folding props problems", - do read it.

How do you find these bulletins? In another thread S&J mentions a Hanse recall regarding steering cables. 

Are these documents only sent to distributors/dealers? If so, can we do something to change that and bring the publishers of these documents into the 2000s? :)

Use the search function, and all good answers shall come your way.
One good place to look is just 25 mm above your post, where MarcoC is advertising for his homepage "www.wesailhanse.se"
This homepage is mainly about Hanse 370 and 430, but other boats like my 400 are also mentioned.
Under the subject "Yanmar" you will find most of the bulletins, and if Marco still hasn´t put the latest missing bulletin on his homepage, you just have to scroll to some 40 centimeters above these words, and you will find this link: https://www.yanmarmarine.com/theme/yanmarportal/uploadedFiles/Marine/GTB2008004_B5_biodiesel.pdf.

P.S. As I have written earlier, I changed my dipstick because Yanmar published a technical bulletin stating that if I did top up the oil to the mark on the dipstick delivered with the saildrive, I would risk a damaged saildrive. The hustlers at Yanmar even had the nerve to charge me for a new correct dipstick. Yanmar also published a bulletin about how we should treat our saildrive SD50. This after a lot of owners had problems with a slipping cone. Yanmar never recalled the SD50 for repair of the faulty part, but stated, that the slipping cone was the fault of the user! To add insult to malice, Yanmar is charging criminally high prices for spareparts to the SD50. A nut costs €47 and a set of shims costs €100. Maybe the Yanmar CEO is hoarding money for a letter of indulgence?

Thank you, Captain! Marco's site is great (and I've visited it a lot lately). 

What I was looking for though, is a system change so that to get good information swiftly to people who might need it you wouldn't have to rely on community effort and you wouldn't have to rely on the dealer network. 

We already have the internet and we already have HanseYachts's online portal, the "Owner's Area", so I think the smartest thing would be that HanseYachts themselves would publish all bulletins and other updates over there. (Publicly would be even better, but maybe they're afraid of doing that.)

This thread here about Jefa steering cables is scary. I hate to think that there's a possibility that a critical loss of primary steering might have been due to lack of good communication between HanseYachts and a yacht owner.

I have now finally updated the bio diesel bulletin on my web page. Let me know if you find more usable material, regardless Hanse model. As Captain Cook says my page is mostly for 370 but that is/was because I have one. Later on I have expanded the page to be about all models, only limited by the time I have to work with the page.
