Re: Bluewater Yachts
I'm a little too far away for a visit, but over the phone they are great. They know my
better than I do, talk me through the solutions, make recommendations, and have never steered me wrong. Even if I knew of another place to get parts, I'd keep using BWY.

Re: Bluewater Yachts
BWY has great service. I bought my 2002
from them. They have been providing me with excellent service for 9 years now. They always have the parts I need for my 2000 Tohatsu 50 TLDI. They have done a great job servicing the motor as well.

Re: Bluewater Yachts
Yes, I guess I'll have to add my own two cents worth. BWY is a real nice convenience here in the PNW, they have pretty much all the accessories we need with easy access. I spent a few dollars there with no regrets and will likely spend a few more. They are a first class act.

Bought my replacement smoked glass panels for my X from them... they were great to work with and the stuff arrived promptly. I'm a happy customer.

Re: Bluewater Yachts
Made my first trip there yesterday, finally had a reason / excuse.
A few weeks ago I was rigging my
, and just before raising the mast realized that the starboard shroud was just hanging there. The plastic spreader tip had broken off. Went into BWY yachts for a replacement and found that the new part is made out of metal. If you have the old plastic ones, might consider swapping them out at $9 apiece to avoid the hassle later.

Re: Bluewater Yachts
You found the right place. The website is very difficult to navigate even if you know what you're doing. But it does function. A modern eCommerce website would be a welcome improvement.Nautek wrote:I have looked at their web site but found it to be very poor

I'm just glad that a place like BWY exists, since the factory seems to have zero interest in parts sales.

Re: Bluewater Yachts
Yup their site sucks. Better off calling them direct and telling them what you want. Great help when you call.
Re: Bluewater Yachts
I am very happy with BWY. I ordered a steering arm Mod for my 26M, it was of high quality and arrived within 10 days of order being sent to Mid-West Australia. Their payment system requires some upgrade, but it works
