Marine Engineer Maldon Area

[James W]

Evening all,

Can anyone recommend a Marine Engineer in the Maldon area please? Good quality work at a reasonable price would be great as I have an oldish Volvo that needs rebuilding.

Thanks loads,

James

Pete is a very good mechanic. He works a lot around Shipways yard, always busy so I guess that's a good sign. I could get his number if you wish.

John Rook at Althorne Marine has done good work for me at reasonable cost.

I would also recommend him!

I am down at the yard in the morning and will forward his number. He is retired and picks his jobs. His rates are very reasonable and the locals would not use him if he were not good.

+1 for Althorne

I used Dave Jackson on Moonshine's refit 2 years ago and found him excellent and very reasonable, i too have an older yacht.
His number is 07777661477 and he is based at Heybridge Basin.

I spoke to Pete today and he is snowed under with work and doesn't want to take on anymore at present. Sorry.

No worries, thanks Steve. Is he based down at Shipways? I'm down there anyway and the new boat will be there in April. Maybe he'll be a bit quieter then.

Thanks to all for your help and recommendations, much appreciated!

Yes I think he is. His knickname is Grumpy Pete but I have always found him a jolly nice chap!

Do come and say hello. Mines the Colvic Watson 'Rose' right out at the end of the first pontoon. It's a great place to keep a boat, lots of skilled shipwrights and so on. A really great community too. You must join the Little Ships Club, cheap beer and rolls and always someone to chat to.

Thanks Steve, I saw your new Colvic today, very nice!

I love it down there, the best yard i've ever moored at. I'll be sure to come and say hi the next time i'm down.
