Your Yacht’s Electrical Safety and Performance Checklist
A professional yacht electrical service goes far beyond simply tracing a wire. Our certified technicians focus on three high-priority areas: safety diagnostics, essential maintenance, and system upgrades.
1. Safety Diagnostics: Preventing Disaster
Many electrical issues are hidden and can pose a serious fire risk. Critical checks should include:
Shore Power System Inspection: The number one cause of dockside fires is a faulty shore power connection. We thoroughly inspect your inlet, cord, and main AC breaker for signs of overheating, corrosion, or arcing.
Corrosion Tracing: Corrosion (often the root cause of 90% of electrical issues) creates resistance, which leads to dangerous heat. We check and clean all major bus bars, terminal blocks, and connections to ensure low resistance and proper current flow.
Circuit Protection Verification: We confirm all fuses and circuit breakers are correctly sized for their respective loads, preventing undersized wiring from melting in an overload situation.
2. High-Value Maintenance & Repair
Consistent service is key to protecting your sensitive electronics and major components:
Battery System Health: We test and service your entire battery bank—checking state of charge, cleaning terminals, and ensuring your charging sources (alternator, charger, inverter) are calibrated for your specific battery type (Lead-Acid, AGM, or Lithium).
Faulty Wiring and Rewiring: Whether it’s replacing a single, degraded wire or performing a complete Rewiring project using ABYC-compliant, tinned copper wire, we ensure your vessel’s circuits are safe and robust.
Generator Service: We service the electrical side of your marine generator, including checking the voltage regulator, brushes, and output, ensuring it delivers clean, consistent power when you are away from the dock.
3. Modern Yacht Upgrades
Enhance the comfort and capability of your yacht with modern power solutions:
Advanced Inverter/Charger Installation: Upgrade to a powerful inverter/charger system that allows you to run AC appliances (like your microwave or coffee maker) silently without running the generator.
Marine Electronics Installation: Seamless integration of state-of-the-art navigation and communication equipment, including radar, GPS plotters, VHF radios, satellite systems (like Starlink), and advanced thruster controls.
Solar Power Systems: Custom installation of marine-grade solar panels and charge controllers to provide silent, renewable energy, reducing generator use and enhancing battery life.
