Functional replacement parts, fittings, and fabricated hardware for boats, engines, and industrial equipment, designed to fit right the first time and built for real-world use, not just display.
A broken clip or discontinued bracket can mean 3 to 6 weeks of shipping delay and a boat sitting idle at the dock. Dean models and manufactures (or fabricates) the replacement locally, from the broken part itself, no original CAD file required, and turns the urgent ones around before you have to leave port. Request a quote and hear back within 48 hours.
Parts are made in whatever material actually suits the job, not just whatever manufactures fastest.
The parts that fail underway are rarely the electronics. They're the vessel-specific hardware that's never a stocked spare, and the ones OEM makes you wait weeks for.
Sea strainer housings and baskets, impeller housings and cover plates, and water pump housings, all of which crack, clog, or corrode long before the impeller itself needs replacing.
Alternator brackets, engine mounts, generator mounting brackets, and bilge pump brackets. Vibration fatigue takes these out, and they're almost never a stocked spare since they're vessel-specific.
Cleats, stanchion bases, hinges, latches, and thru-hull fitting handles. Corrosion and snapping are common, and these are usually custom-fit to the boat, meaning a factory order and a wait.
Exhaust elbows and manifold-adjacent brackets that corrode from constant saltwater and heat cycling, plus hose fitting adapters and clamps worn out by UV and salt exposure.
Port light frames, helm console covers, and instrument panel housings. Exactly where plexiglass and aluminum fabrication do their best work.
Belt tensioner brackets and pulley guards. The belt itself isn't something we fabricate, but the hardware around it fails just as often and is rarely on the shelf.
A real custom fitting, modelled in CAD from the client's requirements before it's ever cut or manufactured. Every hole, radius, and fastener is checked against the actual hardware before manufacture starts.
Bespoke yacht fitting, designed for M/Y Apogee
Sail track components, deck fittings, engine room parts, and anything discontinued or slow to ship. Modelled from the broken original and made locally in stainless steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, or plexiglass, whichever suits the part.
Structural brackets, jigs, fixtures, and custom fittings for facilities and equipment, built to spec, fabricated and finished on site.
Rapid replacement components after storm damage, when supply chains into the islands are disrupted and waiting isn't an option.
Send a photo of the broken piece and rough dimensions. Dean will tell you honestly whether it can be turned around before you leave port.
