guys I have a maxxon inflatable dingy which has a small hole! I found it by chance as it was oozing water! It is in a rather difficult place to access and not sure I can easily apply a repair patch (part of the hem beneath a belt) - is there someone specialised in dinghy repairs or would any puncture repair guy sort me out?
thanks
As far as I know there is only 1 or 2 persons who repairs inflatables here in Malta.
You can read this Topic:
Marine Engines, Inboard/Outboard Maintenance, and boat related maintenance.
But they are somehow very expensive. Guess why???? :-)
Best is to buy a kit from Msida which includes glue, patch, and hardener and brush and you do it yoruself for only 22euro.
Don't forget that it has to be PVC Glue for Maxxon
there is someone in m'scala , cant remember his name but he is very good, give me a call tomorrow on 79493122 and i explane how to go there .
PP.... are you talking about Reuben the tire repair shop? He just lives around the corner from me. I have seen dingies at his shop but do not know if he actually repairs them.
if he does repairs on dinghys let me know SeaFox as I have a quicksilver that needs repair
The one at M.Skala is Jesmond and the garage name is Riviera Dinghy repair. he really knows how to work on dinghys but he also knows how to get paid:)
GG - Never heard about this guy, but then I never had a dinghy. I am from M'Scala, having lived here for 28 years but do not know where this garage is.
I am curious where this shop is. I will ask Reuben tomorrow morning, look Jesmomd up and revert with contact details. Its good that "dinghy owners" get to know of such a place. Sure enough, these "marine mechanics/repair shops" know very well how to get paid!!
There's a guy in marsascala who does repairs. He's good, a bit costly yes, but gets the job done.
if you google Riviera Dinghy repair you get the map and address of this guy
Well done Fisheye - using technology that is beyond me at times!! Saved me some time going around the town!
As said previos here is the link
http://maltafishingforum.com/talk/index.php/topic,2054.0.html
his garage is near dell etna restourant exactly at the end of the road . it's the last garage you wil see the sign riviera
Mela GG, Fisheye and Friend Baghira - Out of curiosity I went and found Jesmond's garage. It is as stated very close to Dell' Etna Pizzeria. He was closed but if anybody needs his cell number, its..7942 0436, Tabella fuq il garage reads.."Riviera Inflatable Dinghy Repairs".
