Marine & boat electrical
Nothing worse than a boat that won’t start at the ramp. Marine electrics live in a harsher environment than road vehicles — salt, damp and vibration all take their toll — and get treated accordingly. We work on both 12V and 24V systems.
Signs you need this
- Won’t start, or starter is sluggish
- Navigation or anchor lights not working
- Bilge pump not engaging automatically
- Corrosion visible on battery terminals or connectors
- Electronics (sounder, VHF) losing power intermittently
What we do
Marine electrical work accounts for the corrosive environment — connections are marine-rated and properly sealed, not just automotive-grade parts bolted in. Starting and house battery systems on boats are tested and wired with the same care as a 4WD dual-battery setup, since a flat battery at the ramp is more than an inconvenience.
What it costs
Depends on the fault and the boat’s setup. We diagnose and estimate before starting any repair.

Questions
- Do you do free battery testing for boat batteries?
- Yes, the same free battery test applies to boat batteries.
- Why does marine wiring corrode faster than car wiring?
- Salt air and damp are far harsher on connections than a normal road environment, which is why marine-rated parts and proper sealing matter.
- Can you fit a second battery for accessories on my boat?
- Yes, sized and wired for what you’re running.
