  Bob, 

  I have been e-mailing him and he has usually responded the same day. For what you get, it is expensive, but much cheaper than anything else on the market and I received it two days after ordering it. He machines the parts to fit each boat, so I had to order new parts. He was very responsive and very helpful.
