I have a KOBOLA HR400 and I’m having trouble finding a source for maintenance parts in the US. It looks like Marine tech in Anacortes installed it, but no luck with them so far. If anyone out there has some leads, I would greatly appreciate it.

Costica at MarineTec is your guy. He's been having some issues with his wife's health and so has been a bit less responsive, but he's the man for Kabola. email: costica@marinetec-us.com. (https://www.marinetec-us.com/kabola/)

You can also try Jeff Owen (jeff@crystalyachtservices.com), but he's likely to refer you to Costica.

Thank you, Mark. I’ll send him off a email. All I had was a phone number.

Crystal Yacht Services in Seattle. Costica referred him (Costica stopped doing this work)

Ryan, thanks for the info for my KABOLA heater. Would you have any contact information for them? I’ve been working with Yacht Services, but I can’t find any information on Crystal Yacht Services in Seattle. Also, how is your non-skid fiberglass work going? I did the same thing last summer on my 4719. I did all the work myself, I made my own forms/molds, there was a lot of work, but it turned out pretty good. I’d love to compare notes.

Chuck:

Crystal Yacht Services.....to the best of my knowledge, is just one guy: Jeff Owen. He's been around diesel heaters for 20+ years. He knows his stuff and is easy to work with. Tell Jeff I sent you: (206) 571-3916. Email: jeff@crystalyachtservices.com.

Warning: this is the busiest time of the year for him. I just emailed him a question the other day. He said: "Don't tell me you want to get this done before cruising season....". :-)

Jeff is the man!

If it’s just parts, what part do you need? I’ve got an extra nozzle.

I know it is not in the US, but Arian de Bruin <a.debruin@kabola.nl> might be able to point you to someone.
