Chandlery

One of the largest and most comprehensively stocked chandleries in the North West.

We stock a wide range of marine products, from small screws to ropes, from oils and greases to inflatable tenders and from engines to shackles and rigging fittings - not to mention the great majority of the Blakes Paints range and one of the largest stocks of Vetus boat equipment outside the Netherlands.

We aim to be able to supply the needs of all boat users, from cruising sailors to commercial fishermen, from water-skiers to anglers, from jet skiers to yacht racers - and most importantly, for those who just want to mess about in boats.

Here's a selection of what we offer...

Blakes Paints

ABC Powermarine are distributors for Blakes Paints and stock virtually the whole range. Blakes celebrated their centenary in 1999 and are at the forefront of marine coating technology in the UK. The range spans antifoulings, topcoats, deckpaints, varnishes, two-pack system and osmosis treatment epoxys - to name but a few!

Electronics

ABC Powermarine are agents for the UK's leading suppliers and we can offer you everything from fishfinders and GPS to radar and radios at unbeatable prices. We hold a sample stock of popular items including the popular Navman Ffishfinders, GPS plotters and VHF radios, the Simrad RD68 DSC VHF, the waterproof Icom M31 waterproof VHF handheld and the M401 DSC base-set, the Garmin Etrex series, as well as many other products. We can also order any product not in stock and in addition to the above, we can supply products from Cetrek, Koden, Eagle, Yeoman, JRC, Navico, Nasa and many more.

Quicksilver

Quicksilver is Mercury Marine's aftermarket department, supplying everything from propellers (including the famous High Five, left) to oils, lubes and greases. ABC Powermarine hold a wide stock of Quicksilver performance products and recommend their use to keep your engine running in the best condition.

Skis & Tubes

There's only so much cruising about that you can do - there comes a time when you want to get wet and enjoy the high-octane thrills and spills of blasting across the water on skis or in a biscuit (for the less well balanced!). ABC Powermarine stock a wide range of accessories, including Wetline skis, wakeboards and kneeboards and several flavours of ski biscuit including the £59.95 Kwik-Tec Zip-Ski. We've also got all the accessories you could need, such as ropes, clips, floats and ski vests.

Safety

When setting out to sea, it's important to plan for the worst possible outcome of your trip afloat. The most important pieces of equipment you carry aboard are those you don't want to use - life-jackets and Pains-Wessex flares. That's why we stock a wide range of lifejackets and safety equipment including Wetline ski-vests, Baltic solid lifejackets for adults and children and the Typhoon Edge manual gas 150N lifejacket priced at only £39.95. Remember: life vests float - you don't.

Weatherproof clothing

ABC Powermarine's weatherproof line-up includes Helly Hansen, perhaps the leading name in weatherproof clothing and Douglas Gill, who pioneered many of the products we take for granted today. Splashdown is a new addition, providing well-speced technical waterproofs at a surprisingly reasonable price point. Our selection is completed by Regatta, at the more price-conscious end of the market.

Surfwear

ABC Powermarine's premier ranges are Quiksilver, Animal and Oakley. Joining these are Mambo (famous for that dog), Roxy and Kangaroo Poo, recently featured in the Sunday Times. And if you're really fashion-conscious, we've got Oakley eyewear and Sinner sunglasses, not to mention a fair range of hats and bags.

Leisurewear

If surfwear isn't your cup-of-tea, we also cater for those with a more 'discerning' taste. Chatham and Splashdown provide yachting tops, chinos, trousers and shirts. We've plenty of choice, including polo shirts, sweatshirts, 'normal' shirts, trousers, fleeces and shorts from famous names such as Helly Hansen, Douglas Gill and Quiksilver.

Footwear

Deckshoes from Chatham are a firm favourite and for sailors and land-lubbers alike, we have expanded our stock to encompass virtually the whole range. Yachting boots come from Douglas Gill and Wetline - and being a Welsh company, how could we ignore green wellies - but we'll leave you to put them to good use. Reef provide the famous Convertible and the Smoothy as well as performance trainers and we are also a stockist of Oakley footwear.

Wetsuits

ABC Powermarine stock a wide selection of wetsuits including the Typhoon, Marlin, Body Glove, Sola and Circle One, not to mention Douglas Gill's dinghy wetsuit. Add to this a wide selection of boots, socks, sleeves and gloves and we've got all you need to be messing around on and in the water.
