Marine Power Ltd. still alive?

[Vikinggirl]

Does anybody outthere know if Marine Power Ltd., based in Southampton and in Gosport, is still on business? I can not reach them by phone and they don't answer my emails. I'd like to place an order there, but want to contact somebody before, because I have a question about the raw water cooling pump we need.
Thanks for tips,
Vikinggirl

Hi would that be a Chinese imported engine

No!

They're the local Yanmar main dealer, did a rebuild of KS's 2GM20 a couple of years ago and I've bought parts from them a couple of times since. They have a workshop next door to Aladdin's Cave Rigging at Bursledon. I can't imagine they've suddenly gone out of business, although the lack of response to phone and email is surprising. I made most of the arrangements for the rebuild via email and they always replied very quickly.

They were around just before Xmas, coz they wrote to me reminding me my engine was due a service.

Had an e-mail from Chis at Gosport with a GA of the 3YM raw-water pump on 29/02/2013.

Called @ the Bursledon branch to collect some pre-ordered bits (through Pete) sent specially from A E Barrus on 14/02/2012.
Extremely helpful and reliable folk who are far less expensive than most Yanmar dealers.

They are a little short-staffed though and illness could mean unanswered phones.

Marine Power at Deacons

You might mean Marine Power Ltd at Deacons Boatyard at Bursledon. I bought some Yanmar stuff from them just before Christmas and they seemed to be OK then.

Think you're confusing them with M-power marine diesels.

It seems they had a batch of Chinese water pumps. A friend of mine has one and his failed this week. He has contacted them for a replacement.

Sounds like they should be offering them as free replacements to me. I heard that Sunsail replaced the whole lot after only 650 hours running.

Wow, that's [29/02/2013] clever

Doubly so, not only is the year in the future, but the date will never exist

I was going to reply that this company didn't exist anymore, so I'm either mixing them up with another company with a similar name, or they have started up again.
