 | | Here are some products we love and companies that have provided great service.
- Garhauer Marine Hardware
Excellent quality boat hardware from a really nice, family-owned business. And good customer service, too!
- Delta Faucet
This company made the faucet we installed in our galley. When it had a problem, they replaced it free of charge -- no questions asked -- after five years. Wow. I t's the best galley faucet we've ever used on a boat.
- Ocean Gear
A dive shop in Southern California that is run by one the nicest, most knowledgeable diving couples we've met. Alene got her custom wetsuit through them. Visit them. Buy from them. They are great.
- Lewmar
Lewmar makes tons of marine gear. Some of it is great. Some of it is just OK. Our hatches are Lewmar and they are excellent. Unfortunately the welds have cracked on two of them. Our windlass is Lewmar and the base corroded completely. We include the company here because they did stand behind the windlass and sent us a new stainless steel base. They didn't send us a new hatch, however.
- Chacos
We love our Chacos Sandals. I (accidentally) hiked up a volcano in them in Migrations #6.
- Makita
They make the best cordless drills ever.
- Vai Ora
The most amazing chocolate milk you will ever drink. But you have to go to Tahiti to get it.
- Scubatoys.com
A fantastic dive shop online. Excellent customer service.
- Visibility Unlimited
A great dive shop that really helped us out by sending parts to Costa Rica.
- Racor
They make our diesel fuel filters and provide excellent customer service.
- Porta-bote
The makers of Plover. They are a strange company but we do like their boats.
- Scanmar
Makers of the Monitor windvane. Our original broke in the gale off of Easter Island (Migrations #9). Scanmar provides amazing customer service and helped with our next Monitor which we bought used.
- PYI
They sold us our Max-Prop and ShaftSeal. They provide some of the best customer service on the planet.
- Spectra Watermakers
Our watermaker is fantastic and Spectras customer service has been excellent. Our only complaint is their ridiculous prices for spare parts. Wake up, Spectra!
