Freshwater Tank Parts
*Note: The freshwater level monitoring setup on a Beneteau Oceanis 461 typically relies on VDO or Scheiber components connected through a signal-converter adapter module. The specific replacement adapter module parts are Scheiber 50.BTE.11009.00 or 50.BTE05000E.00, which can be found via specialized suppliers like Marinebeam.
System Components & Identification
- Beneteau used varying tank probes depending on the exact hull number and whether a VDO electronic panel or a Scheiber Navigraph system was installed.
- The inline adapter module translates raw resistance or digital stepped voltage from the tank probe so your helm/chart table display reads correctly.
- Direct replacement physical tank probes (capacitive or float-style) vary based on your fresh water tank’s depth and shape on the 461.
Recommended Approach
Because Beneteau utilized mixed instrumentation sub-vendors during the 461 production run (late 1990s to early 2000s), parts can rarely be cross-referenced strictly by the boat model year alone.
Check the reverse side of your electrical/gauge panel for an OEM part number tag.
Inspect the physical freshwater tank probe mounted directly on the tank top to see if a VDO or Scheiber stamp/part number is visible.
Some Identified Part Numbers
- Beneteau Group Part Number:
134696(Water Tank Level Sender Adapter Module) - Scheiber OEM Adapter Part Number:
50.BTE11009.00(also listed as50.BTE.11009.00) - Scheiber Legacy/Replaced Part Number:
50.BTE05000E.00 - VDO OEM Tank Level Sensor/Probe:
N02-240-402(Capacitive 4–20 mA level probe, adjustable for 80 mm – 600 mm tank depth)
System Specifications & Replacement Notes
- Adapter Module Function: Converts the signal from the water tank level sender into the specific step-voltage required for the Scheiber/VDO panel display.
- Mounting Pattern: Standard SAE 5-hole flange pattern mounted on top of the freshwater tanks.
- Aftermarket Alternatives: If replacing the tank sender with a third-party unit, use a European standard 10 to 180 Ohm float/tube level sender (such as WEMA or KUS) trimmed to your tank’s depth.
