~~~~~~~~6-5-00~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would like to add a mechanics referral list on my web site to assist people in finding a mechanic when they need one. With so many sailboat mechanics specializing in diesel engines, I think we need to try and support those who are familiar with and will work on Atomic Four engines. Even though many of youmay do all of your own work now, someday you or someone you know may need their help. This is what I have so far. Thank you to those of you who have made recommendations. If anyone else has any to recommend, please do so. CptinRn@yahoo.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Southern California Barstow(?)

It was fun to get a good look at one out of its cave. His shop is Accurate Machine Repair at 222 Severn Ave, Annapolis/Eastport which is very close to the water. He seemed quite knowledgeable about A4's, but I can't vouch for anything else. Phone is 410-268-3636 and he said they have a lot of parts, too. Della Barba, Joe If you are that close, try Vosbury's (spelling?)in Annapolis. They are the local gurus of A4s.
