When the boat builder is gone and the chandlery doesn't stock it — shaft components, deck hardware, seacock parts and engine room fittings in 316L, naval brass and duplex, reproduced from your corroded original.
Boats outlive their builders. A 30-year-old yacht is entirely serviceable, but the yard that built it — and made its custom fittings — may have closed decades ago. Production hardware gets discontinued, metric replaces imperial, and the specific casting your stern gear needs is in no catalogue anywhere.
We reproduce marine parts from the original — even heavily corroded. Corrosion rarely destroys the geometry we need; the part's design intent is recoverable from what remains plus the components it mates with.
Taper sleeves, shaft nuts, keys, locking collars to propulsion tolerances.
Stern tube carriers with water inlet provisions, original interference fits.
Seal carriers, packing followers, lantern rings.
Cleats, fairleads, stanchion bases, custom fittings in 316L.
Pintles, gudgeons, tiller heads, quadrant components.
Bodies, bonnets, handles in dezincification-resistant bronze.
Engine bed brackets, exhaust supports, heat exchanger end caps.
Impeller housings, cam plates, wear plates. See pump parts.
| Application | Correct material | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Below waterline, bronze system | Naval brass / HTB1 | Ordinary brass — dezincifies in months |
| Deck hardware | 316L passivated | 304 — tea-stains and pits in salt spray |
| Against stainless prop shaft | Bronze with isolation | Aluminium — sacrificial corrosion |
| High-load chainplates, fittings | Duplex 2205 | 316 in crevice conditions — pitting |
| Bearings & wear strips | Delrin / HDPE | Nylon — swells when saturated |
If the original corroded fast, tell us where it lived. Galvanic pairing, oxygen starvation in crevices, and stray current all destroy specific materials in specific ways. Knowing the failure pattern lets us specify a replacement that won't repeat it — usually at no extra cost.
Yes. Custom and semi-custom boats are full of one-off fittings no catalogue stocks. Send the failed part — corroded is fine — and we reproduce it in 316L, bronze or the appropriate marine grade. No builder cooperation or drawing needed.
316L and 304 stainless, naval brass (HTB1), phosphor bronze, duplex 2205, super duplex 2507, plus HDPE, Delrin and PTFE for bearing and seal applications. Stainless parts are passivated after machining.
Tell us the date the vessel goes back in the water and we work backwards. A single machined 316L component is typically 5–10 working days after CAD approval, plus shipping. Express options exist for breakdowns — we confirm honestly what is achievable.
It can. We review the galvanic pairing: if a bronze part corroded against a stainless shaft, or aluminium against bronze, we suggest material or isolation changes. Often the fix is as simple as the correct grade plus an isolating washer — we advise as part of the quote.
