Hi Jenzo

We do have a large collection of original Mariah manuals, wiring diagrams, engine manuals, brochures etc available to our contributing members. Click on "Donate" above and all will be explained.

I'll have to let some of the others here who have similar boats to yours answer specific questions about your boat. We're not sure how many Mariahs are left in the UK but there has to be quite a number of them. I recently spoke with a David Allen of Southwater Marine near Southampton who indicated they sold hundreds of the original Mariahs and still receive parts requests & inquiries so he might be a good contact for you to have. He can be reached at [email protected] and they are located at:
Hamble Point Marina
School Lane
Hamble
Southampton
SO31 4NB
Ph# 023 8045 2255


There was also another dealer called C.J. Marine in England that may still have some info and parts available.
They are located at: Branches Lane, Sherfield English, Romsey, Hampshire SO51 6JW England

Question about donation to the club
 

With the silver $15.00 per year colume do you get to print off a complete manual for your boat as unsure what the X means , Am presuming you can view and print off all with an X against it?.
cheers.

Hi Jenzo

That "x" just means that with your donation you get access to those areas and that means that yes, you can download and/or print the manuals.

218SC in the UK
 

Hi Jenzo,
I am the proud owner of a 218SC with 5l EFI with through hull exhaust and super sports trim down here in Cornwall. The previous owner ( I have had "Four boys" for 3 years) said it was the last 218SC imported into the Uk in 2001 by South water marine. My wife (Debbie) and I love this boat.
We have just re-launched it and look forward to a better summer than last year.
One new feature we have fitted is two "Gullsweep" bird deterant devices as the seagulls are a real pest down here. One on the bow and one off the ski bar.The Gull sweeps seem to be working.

During the winter months we completed a long list of cleaning and maintenance including fitting a new port windscreen, as the old one shattered due to the support bracket being of poor design. Taylor made supplied me with a new screen (expensive though due to import duty) and a local stainless fabricator made me a much stronger bracket.
