Marine Sanitation & Repair Services?

[headhoncho]

Hey all,
I have been asked by the California Clean Boating Network to help compile a list of companies that do installation or repair of marine heads, holding tanks and associated plumbing. So I guess I'm asking you to help me help compile the list ;-) Anybody know of any marine plumbers serving the Sacramento River Delta or San Francisco Bay Area? Thanks.

Tim Wiest Yacht Service (pronounced "Weest")
(510) 414-7084

He's based between Sacramento and Vallejo.

I won't give you his address, in case you're a terrorist [:-bigeyes] [:-bigeyes] - you'll have to get it from him.

Vic,
Thanks for the info. We already have Tim on list. He seems to be one of the few willing to do this work. ;-0

They're scarce - it's tough, trying to find someone - people don't want to get into the "icky" factor of working on marine sanitation equipment - having a poor sense of smell usually helps! If you think about it, being down in the bowels of a boat on a hot August day (pun intended) and have a hose that's full of "you know what" pop off and spray you down... Not real pleasant. Then people get all up in arms when a marine plumber asks for a higher hourly rate than an Engineer or a tax accountant - they should try it for a few weeks, and we'll see what they'd charge...
