The cheapest parts I found were US East Coast (Annapolis area), but they will not ship outside that area. So I had to set up an account with an east coast shipping company, then get them to send to Portland, then get Youshop.co.nz to ship here. How did your landed cost work out? Youshop's postage has become rather expensive now they have subcontracted the freight to one of the courier companies. I have bought Yanmar parts from http://www.bayshoremarineengines.com/ in Annapolis in the past, when visiting for the boatshow, and agree their prices are excellent. I am going to get prices from the Oregon dealer to see how they stack up, and no issue with shipping as the Youshop forwarding service is in Oregon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Under 12 days from Denmark, like to see a local supplier beat that. Wasn't going to do it this year but lockdown lets me spend far too much time shopping online.

Let us know how you get on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sail Rock 28 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I use Parts4Engines in the UK. Fast, reliable service and way cheaper than via NZ agents. The parts are after market rather than OEM but I have had no problems so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
