This is Manolo, writing from New York on behalf of my sister and my friend in Spain. They received the Cummins manifolds that you made for the engine in perfect condition. They wish to congratulate you and your company on the quality of manufacture and on the care with which they were packaged and shipped. The manifolds have already been installed and they were a perfect fit."
12 August 2003

I called marine Direct on a Saturday morning and explained my tale of woe. The situation had a real sense of urgency as the boat race was on the following weekend and Airlie Beach Qld is a long way away. I needed two manifolds and risers urgently. The effort shown by Marine Direct to get the parts from the warehouse to the Whitsundays in five working days was excellent. Teryy Brown, Whitsindays North Queensland. September 2003

Dear Scott, My sister and husband in Madrid Spain have asked me to tell you that the Cummins 555 engine head and the rest of the shipment has reached them without any snags. Thanks to your good offices, they could track the freight and assert their right to have it delivered to their door. And delivered to their door it was!! Regards, Manolo New York. October 2003. (Goodness knows what Manolo's family did with 50kg of steel engine head in their home! We normally supply parts for boats!)

Scott, Got the goods today. You could possibly go another 20% increase (across the board except my orders!) for items under $200 as I doubt people will price shop in this range. Boats are like pets and you don't begrudge a vet bill. Good luck , very good service. Dave August 05.

Money for this item has been deposited into your
account! Regards Leo! BTW Love your website I will be back soon for more
items! Thanks again September 05.

Should be back in the water by weeks end.

Any Comments About Our Website?: A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY- CruzPro Customer! December 2006

Dear Scott, just wanted to touch base after purchasing an Aquavolt 8kva diesel gen set from you two years ago now. I have been extremely happy with this unit since I bought it, and it has proven very, very reliable.
I have no trouble running a dive compressor and two air conditioners at once with absolutely no trouble at all. Last year, 2005, we went across to Lord Howe Island on a diving trip, and the gen set was running for 21 days non stop and never missed a beat. Can’t ask for much better than that. We did turn it off a few times just to check the drive belt and coolant levels etc as part of basic maintenance procedures, but this was only for around 15 to 20 minutes.
Thanks again, and I am now looking forward to receiving my desalinator from you. Your help and professional assistance is greatly appreciated each time I speak with you.
Yours Sincerely, Barry S, Manager, Newcastle XYZ Pty. Ltd. December 2006
