Don I used an excellent diesel mechanic in Sydney this summer. He was recommended by Stewart, at U.K. Sails and is the best diesel mechanic I have used, ever. Just wish he was closer.
His name is Ben Gartside, of Gartside Marine Engine. 250-655-4543 gartsidemar...@shaw.ca If I had what you have, I would consider flying him down to Seattle to check I out.
