DM Marine in Penryn is a Merc/Mariner agent or Rock Marine Services at Rock.
Both are good, but charge accordingly.

Fishbait, try here for info. It's a site for Cornish Rib owners, lots of banter but good advice available if required.

Hi Brian.....thanks for the recomendation. How's things? I've been out of Ribnet for a while now and a bit behind the times in some respects!

I'm actually no longer in St. Mawes, having merged my business with the afformentioned DM Marine in Penryn. Whilst I'm at it, I should clarify that although we were Mariner dealers, we gave up the dealership at the end of last year and now concentrate on Honda Marine (outboards and dinghies) and the Mercruiser dealership.

Having said all that, we are of course fully trained and tooled for the Mercury / Mariner products and continue to support all our customers in that respect and that includes the Optimax engines.

Andy (FOB!!)
