Out of curiosity – what’s been the hardest thing to find locally when it comes to marine services?

Feels like some things are straightforward, others are a bit of a nightmare depending on where you are.

"Out of curiosity", mmm, bit like the "genuinely curious" opening gambit.

Why don't you start by giving us an idea of what you already know.

everything, apart from the usual stuff which might be available or might not be depending on the demand for service, urgency and and lead times, but usually not an issue if thought about in advance

Several people I asked locally told me it was easier / cheaper just to replace it. My search was interrupted by a 55% discount at CactusNav - I assumed it was clearance sale and they'd sell out quickly, so wasted no further time looking for an engineer.
