Marine electrical.
Clarity behind the helm.
Intermittent electrical faults and aging helm installations can interrupt a day aboard. Salt Life brings a methodical approach to troubleshooting, repairs, and upgrades, with the work defined around the systems actually installed on your boat.
Troubleshooting before replacement
Discuss the symptoms, when the fault occurs, recent changes, and equipment details. Diagnostics establish the next step before parts are selected, whether the issue involves power supply, wiring, connections, or an individual component.
Helm rewires and circuit organization
Plan wiring repairs or a broader helm rewire around the equipment, circuit layout, labeling, and service access. Scope can include replacing damaged connections and organizing wiring so future troubleshooting is more straightforward.
Navigation electronics and NMEA 2000
Coordinate displays, network connections, sensors, and compatible equipment upgrades. Provide model numbers and details of the existing network so compatibility and installation requirements can be reviewed before work is quoted.
Battery, charging, lighting and audio systems
Request attention to onboard charging concerns, battery connections, lighting circuits, and marine audio wiring. The proposed work follows the vessel’s system arrangement and the symptoms or upgrades you describe.
Plan the next step.
What should I send before an electrical visit?
Send equipment model numbers, photos of the installation, symptoms, when they occur, and any recent repairs or upgrades. Include your vessel’s make, length, and marina.
Can you help with an intermittent problem?
Yes. Explain the conditions in which it appears. Reproducing and tracing the fault may require diagnostic time before a repair scope can be confirmed.
