Gibraltar or La Linea - Engineering Spares?

[concentrik]

Trying to locate an oil seal (rear, output) for our gearbox. It is 32 x 45 x 7, not too unusual I hope. Could someone point us to a souce in Gib / La Linea?

Might be worth asking in shepards chandlery in Gib they seem switched on , just be prepared for it costing four times the price of buying it from the uk

There's the marine engineer in the Marina Bay conplex just back from the pubs leading to the main pontoons, sound enough guy...

Excellent shop at the Varadero of la Linea (Elias Blanco). Will almost certainly have what you want. Forget Sheppards these days - hopeless stock and big prices. If stuck in Gib, you might want to call Mark at Hire-u-shop (block 4, water gardens, Gibraltar) tel: 350 20073017 (mob: 350 57288000) or email him or steve at mark@hire-u-shop.com who has his own yacht and stocks proper chandlery stuff in his shop.

Also try Eric at the new Alcadeisa marina in La Linea. If you really struggle we are coming back out to La Linea on 21st Sept but you will probably have it sorted by then.

You need to be very wary of Elias Blanco... a friend of mine took his mobo in there for very simple repairs and without his permission they took out the engines and broke the gearbox in the process then refused to continue working unless he fronted up several thousand euros.. Even Volvo head office have said they should not have proceeded without the permission of the owner in an email to me. They do not appear to be nice people to do business with.
