Dreamtime Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 You may have seen my post recently showing damaged drive gear on my Mariner 31. All but difficult here to procure the replacement bits. Even contacted Rivierra who made the Mariners but "no off the shelf" parts available, as no record of my vessel with them. Looking for a qualified shipwrighter or the likes to procure the necessary gear. Am willing to pay airfares, hotel, wages and expenses to the right person to come up and do an assessment of the required bits and pieces. Then for him to return to Oz, purchase them and then return to do the installation. No tyre kickers. Need to do a little homework down there first to ascertain if and where to obtain parts. Sooner rather than later required Thanks Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightmanager Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Carl , there is a mob in Parramatta who do just the work you describe. I saw the remains of a rudder and prop shaft in their workshop from a boat which suffered the same fate as yours in the big storms we had here last year. I will make enquiries , and get back to you .

Dreamtime Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Thanks to all who have sent PM's. Have emailed Porters for all the drive gear and Fullers Marine have come back to me on the Trim Tabs. Still looking for a shipwright or person with equal skills to do the assessmnet and installation.

Dreamtime Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Still looking for a shipwright or person with equal skills to do the assessmnet and installation. Hi Fishraiders, Thanks a million for your concerns, hard work and sympathy. It appears that I have had some luck now in finding the right person to come up and fix my damaged boat. I have had excellent assistance from Glenn Corfield of DH Porter & Co with regards to all the underwater gear. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Customer service is second to none. Trim tabs have also been sorted. Could not have achieved this result so soon (5 days) without your kind assistance. Special mention to Robbelties, Geoff, Brickman, Aussie Big Bob, Pelican, Roberta, CFD and of course Flightmanager and Swordfisherman. Big Thank you.
