Electrical & Corrosion Control

The mechanical health of your vessel is inseparable from its electrical system. We protect your underwater hardware from the silent threat of corrosion and ensure your power systems are always “mission-ready.”

Comprehensive Corrosion Management (Anode Service):

Sacrificial Anode Replacement: Monitoring and replacing Zinc, Aluminum, or Magnesium anodes on the hull, rudders, shafts, and engine heat exchangers.
Galvanic Isolation Testing: Inspecting “Zincs” to ensure they are eroding correctly and not “over-protecting” or “under-protecting” your expensive metal components.
Bonding System Audits: Verifying that all underwater metals are electrically connected to the boat’s grounding system to prevent rapid “pitting” or electrolysis.
Sales Angle: “Invest in pennies of zinc today to save thousands in drive repairs tomorrow.”

Advanced Battery & Power Storage Maintenance:

Deep-Cycle & Starting Battery Testing: Using digital conductance testers to identify failing cells before they leave you stranded at the sandbar.
Terminal & Connection Detailing: Deep-cleaning terminals and applying anti-corrosion sealants to ensure 100% cranking power and fire safety.
Lithium (LiFePO4) Upgrades: Modernizing your house bank for longer life, faster charging, and 50% less weight than traditional lead-acid batteries.
Sales Angle: “Start every trip with confidence. We ensure your ‘House’ and ‘Start’ banks are healthy and separated.”

Charging System & Alternator Diagnostics:

High-Output Alternator Service: Testing the engine’s ability to recharge batteries while underway and inspecting belt tension and pulley alignment.
Smart Charger & Inverter Integration: Installing and configuring multi-stage chargers that prolong battery life and provide silent AC power at anchor.
Solar & Wind Integration: Installing eco-friendly charging solutions to keep your bilge pumps and trackers running during long periods at the dock.
Sales Angle: “Stay out longer. Our ‘Smart Power’ setups keep your electronics running without needing a noisy generator.”

Stray Current & Shore Power Safety:

Shore Power Cord & Inlet Inspection: Checking for “burnt” pins or frayed insulation that cause 50% of marina fires.
ELCI & GFC-I Protection: Installing modern safety breakers that protect your family from “Electric Shock Drowning” (ESD) risks in the water.
Galvanic Isolator Installation: Blocking destructive stray current coming from the marina’s dock power or neighboring boats.
Sales Angle: “Protect your family and your hull. We certify that your boat isn’t leaking power into the water.”

Wiring & Circuit Modernization:

Panel & Fuse Box Overhauls: Replacing corroded “glass fuse” blocks with modern, resettable marine-grade breakers.
Marine-Grade Rewiring: Replacing “land-use” wiring with tinned copper boat cable to resist the “green death” of salt-water corrosion.
Sales Angle: “Stop the ‘flickering lights’ and mystery electrical gremlins with a pro-grade wiring refresh.”
