Hi all,

I have ordered Yanmar parts from "marine diesel direct" for years as they
had a good website that made finding the correct part fairly straight
forward and they seemed to have good prices.  But I have not been able to
connect with their website today, using multiple electronics.  They still
show up in web searches, but no joy on connecting with the website.  Anybody
else use them and / or know what happened to them?

More importantly, where are people getting Yanmar parts?  My local dealer is
typically 30% or more higher which even after shipping charges makes online
a better deal.  Am in CT and currently having the first real snow fall in
years.  5" and counting.

Thanks,

Brian

I used Niemiec in New Bedford, MA.  Knowledgeable and prices seemed fine.

I just tried their website. No luck. I ordered an oil cooler from Scott Marine Power. They're in Florida. Price seemed ok. Shipping was high, but I think it was my fault.

Thanks for the names of places people have used.

FWIW:  I found via some searching that it appears “marine diesel direct” is either renamed or more likely has consolidated with another company at:  Discount Marine Source - Boating supplies and engine parts https://discountmarinesource.com/

The selection of Yanmar parts offered seems vastly reduced to what the marine diesel direct site had, has pictures of a plain brown box vs photos of the actual Yanmar part [which I found helpful in confirming part identification] and  have not tried to compared prices to the others sites suggested.
