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,

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.

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.

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.
