EBay has been very good for me. Some of my boat related purchases over the past several years:
- Complete Edson pedestal steering system - $400.00
- New 11 gallon stainless water heater including engine coolant heat exchanger - $125.00
- PAR belt driven water pressure pump, the Holy Grail of pumps - $50.00. I added another $15.00 for a rebuild kit for $65.00 total.
- New Raymarine ST4000+ Wheel pilot complete - $750.00
- Raymarine ST-50 digital depth sounder - $50.00
- New vertical capstan anchor windlass including solenoid switch - $425.00
- Sendure 2 pass engine heat exchanger - $50.00
- Two Lewmar ST30 winches - $400.00
Those are only the ones I remember and not a single transaction issue among them. Maybe I'm just lucky??
BTW, my comment on financial considerations when throwing gear off the boat compared the old school M-O-B pole and horseshoe to the Switlik system @ ~$1000 mentioned in the third post. I thought the price reference made it clear but apparently not.
