Hello folks. I need some help to put by boat back in order. I was the happy owner of a 2005 Monterey 268SS until the fuel pump broke just at the beg of my holiday season (sh...happens I guess). I have been doing extensive investigations and I have not been able to find any spare part in Europe (part num 866169A01 or complete set 864650A05). I would be very grateful if anyone at YF could give an indication of where to find this part in Europe, or alternatively if you know of any service in the US that deals with Merc parts and can ship them to Europe quickly. Regards Nacho
Hi, Here is the website of Brunswick in France- they don't seem to have any office in Spain. These guys are the parent Co of Mercury Marine http://www.brunswickmarinefrance.fr/
Try Googling under Mercruiser. You should be able to find this part through Sea Ray or many other service depts.
problem solved Thanks for your suggestions. I managed to by-pass the local Merc distributor (who was telling me there was not a single spare unit available in Europe) and contact directly Merc central distributor for Spain (Madrid). They were highly responsive and while they don't normally deal directly with individuals, they identified one part available in Belgium and courier to my port in less than 24 hours. I am indeed very grateful to Merc central distributors and not so grateful to their local dealer in Alicante area. Now I am a happy boater again, weather and sea conditions are just perfect. I will upload some pictures when back home so you can have a taste of our coastline.
