マン島はボートの代名詞です。地元のボートでいっぱいの地元のマリーナや港から、アイルランド海を渡って自分の船を持ち込んでマン島を訪れることにした多くの観光客まで、さまざまな理由でボートが人気です。ダグラスとピールには、訪問船に必要なすべての設備を備えた 2 つの素晴らしいマリーナがあります。個人的には、この小さな島で時々正気を保つのは、海に出られる機会があるからです。もちろん、ボートを所有することは、水上で何日も過ごすことだけではありません。船舶エンジンは高価で、気まぐれな生き物であることが多く、現代社会では、ほとんどがユーザーが修理できなくなっています。ここで、優秀な船舶エンジニアの出番となり、マン島で私が思う最高の船舶エンジニアは、バラサラに拠点を置く MJS Marine です。
Mike and Chris and happy to offer up advice and can take on work on just about any type of engine that will go in or hang off the back of a boat you could care to mention. To date my own experience with them has been faultless.
As well as the noisy bit they are also more than capable of dealing with other marine problems, fittings and fixtures including:-
- Installing lights
- Fitting/re-wiring electrical systems including all common marine electronics (GPS/Fishfinder etc)
- Onboard heating and hot water systems
- Rigging problems
- Cleaning both outside/inside
- Anti-fouling
Labour rates are affordable and regular customers can enjoy a loyalty discount on annual engine service rates. They can either come to visit you or you can take your boat to them at their workshop in Ballasalla. One extra service they do offer is that they can handle the trailer work for you or even provide a trailer (depending on the size of your boat), so if you don’t have access to a trailer they will do all they can to help you out.
Finally MJS Marine offer a large selection of marine electronics, engines and general chandlery for sale from their shop which is attached to their workshop. (A special note for Evinrude E-Tec owners, you can buy Evinrude XD-100 oil from MJS Marine).
You can contact MJS Marine either direct at the workshop on 01624 822920 or by mobile on 07624 472531
