How much ????

[mad_boater]

Just ordered a pair of bellows from Trickets for my Eltrim trim tabs.it's been a couple of years since I bought any so I couldn't believe the price of them £31+£11 postage.Of all the items I have bought for my boat this one takes the biscuit.The cost of making them must be literally pennies and £11 postage for something that weighs very little,daylight robbery.Of course they have got you over a barrel,no one else sells them.

RANT OVER(for now)

Nick at Seabridge Marine sells them.
£30 + £6 postage (courier).
1st class postage would have been cheaper.

They were £26 exactly 2 years ago. I bought some, found the motors were beyond repair, bought new motors, then a new head unit, as that was US.....Cost me a small fortune
I am today happy as the ones in my shed that I can fit to replace have saved me £5..
I may buy some anyway if they go up £2 50 a year, and I keep the boat 10 years, that's 4 more changes, there could be some serious money to be saved..
I agree it s a huge amount for a couple of bits of rubber, but motors now must be £200 each, I darn t look.. And its all that keeps the water out..

Yep.. And beware....
Last year I know from somebody who needed some, all usual suppliers did nt have any stock..
And you know what happens to prices when things become hard to obtain..
I am off down the garden now to lock my shed door..
