Bizarre Marine

[jakeroyd]

Went to the Marine Bazzar this week to get some stuff to replace a seized seacock.
In the end we found what we wanted and a way to do the job , which involved changing the diameter of the hose via a reducer and all manner of finding bits of marine plumbing that would fit together etc.

They even tried brutalising some of the old bits apart so they could be reused , in their workshop.
The threads had been literally glued up with what looked to me like epoxy so no amount of savagery would shift them we found.

So in all I found them very helpfull.

They have also reordered stuff in there and it all looks much better than it used to.

They had an interesting collection of Seagull outboards if you like that sort of thing.

A much pleasanter experience than some of my earlier visits.

It's always been known locally as Bizarre Marine to the best of my knowledge.

Usually my first chandlery to visit. Always good for a browse. They also trade used stuff which can be useful. Definitely helpful staff in general.

Me three! They stock every type of hose known to man and recently seemed to have improved the store. Only issue I have is that once inside, I have never managed to leave without buying something...........anything!:ambivalence:

They have an extremely effective guard dog. If you don't buy anything it sits on your foot looking cute until you do.

Yes, we met the guard dog.
A realy vicious piece of work.

Yes I was in there recently and it seemed much more organised. I always come out with something I'll never use...........
