About Us
vetusdiesel.co.uk is a website operated by ABC Powermarine, which is a trading name of Anglesey Boat Company Ltd..
Approaching a century of boatyard services
We were established in 1934 at Gallows Point, just outside Beaumaris on the Island of Anglesey. We are a boatyard, chandlery and marine services business with a longstanding reputation for supplying and supporting marine systems and equipment to both trade and leisure customers.
Our full range of boatyard and marine services can be viewed at abcpm.co.uk
ABC Powermarine has built its reputation over many years, supporting boat owners, boatyards and marine engineers with reliable products, technical knowledge and practical experience. Our focus has always been on delivering dependable marine equipment and solutions backed by product knowledge and strong manufacturer relationships.
Vetus specialists since 1997
We have been an authorised distributor of Vetus boat equipment and Vetus Diesel marine propulsion engines in the UK since 1997.
This long-standing relationship has given us an extensive practical knowledge of the Vetus range and its applications across a wide variety of marine installations.
Over nearly three decades, we’ve supported countless installations and refits, working closely with boat builders, engineers and end users to ensure the right products are chosen for each application
This experience means we're not just shifting boxes with no idea of what's in them: we can provide answers to technical queries; guidance on system selection and compatibility; advice on installation considerations; and the technical back-up for issues arising.
Vetus: creator of systems
Our website vetusdiesel.co.uk has been designed to make it was as easy as possible to find and order parts for Vetus Diesel engines, both in the UK and worldwide.
Vetus don't just produce boat equipment products: they're a creator of technical systems, designed with 60 years of experience to make your boating life easier - and most importantly, more reliable.
Through our sister website vetusonline.co.uk, we supply and support a wide range of Vetus systems, including:
• Bow thrusters and stern thrusters
• Hydraulic steering
• Propeller shaft systems
• Marine diesel engine control and exhaust systems
• Fresh water systems
• Waste water systems
• Fuel systems
• Ventilation and hatches
• Wiper systems
• Seats and tables
• Brass, bronze and stainless steel fittings
Technical support
With nearly three decades of experience with Vetus Diesel marine engines, we can provide technical guidance and help you choose the correct solution for your boat and application.
We regularly assist with:
• Vetus Diesel engine parts enquiries
• Vetus Diesel engine installation support
• Vetus Diesel engine backup
• Exhaust system selection and design
• Propeller shaft and coupling systems
• Retrofit and refit integration support
• Fuel system set-up and installation
• System compatibility checks across Vetus product ranges
Our goal is to ensure correct specification first time, reducing installation issues and improving long-term system performance.
Spare parts back-up
Even we're surprised by how long some Vetus equipment lasts! After nearly 30 years, we're still supplying spare parts for products that were discontinued before we joined the Vetus family!
While it's very tempting to trust ChatGPT to give you answers, it's not always right and there's information that simply isn't available electronically.
We've got over three decades of catalogues, parts catalogues and installation manuals back to the 1980s - as well as 30 years of experience identifying and sourcing spare parts.
Stock availability
Unlike several UK-based websites that sell Vetus products, we're backed up by a significant stockholding of Vetus equipment here in our warehouse, from parts for long-discontinued diesel engines right up to bow thrusters packages.
We aim to dispatch 95% of orders from our own stock; and if something isn't immediately available, we can usually get this within 7-10 days.
With spare parts which are often sold only in packs, we'll sell you only the quantity you need, saving you from buying extras you'll never need.
And if you can't find something on the website, give us a call on 01248 811 001, whether it's a current product or a spare part for a 40 year-old component, because we might just have one!
