The Range of My Capabilities and Expertise

I am often asked, "do you work on (insert subject here)"?  If it has anything to do with electricity or electronics, the answer is "YES".  The list is practically endless.  But we only work on boats.  We don't have a yard, rather we come to your boat.  We are setup specifically to deliver advanced capabilities dockside.  We show up for appointments.  We complete every job we start.  In the rare event we don't or can't work on something, I'll let you know that up-front and recommend someone who can take care of your issue.  If we can't meet your deadline, we let you know that too.  If either of is not happy with the job, we'll make it right.  That's the guarantee.  If you want it fixed right and made reliable, call me. 

I can furnish, install and service any electronic system including radar, chartplotters, autopilots, entertainment systems and SSB radio.  In fact, I teach a fall semester course in "Electronic Aids to Navigation" at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo.  I hold a General Radiotelephone Operator's License from the FCC.

You would probably expect an electrician to work on shore power and AC power systems.  We do.  We also work on 12, 24 and 32 volt DC systems from custom battery boxes through inverters, panelboards, generators through to the very last electrical outlet.  We do everything by the book, which generally means the latest ABYC and NMEA standards.  We belong to both groups and hold the relatively rare CMET certification from NEMA.

We do complete engine control and monitoring systems including alternators and starters.  I'm not a diesel mechanic, so I won't work on injectors, injection pumps or any part lubricated by crankcase oil or diesel.  I will work on fuel, cooling and exhaust systems for smaller engines as well as trim tabs and steering systems.  Many autopilots operate hydraulically and I can handle hydraulic systems from steering pumps to rudder cylinders.

Because so much plumbing is involved with pumps of all sorts, from bilge pumps and bait pumps to macerators, we also do related plumbing.  We stock all common sizes of fuel, water and sanitation hose as well as nylon fittings from 1/8" to 1-1/2 inch.

Galvanic corrosion can be a confusing subject for the layman.  With my background as a practicing electrical engineer throughout much of my career before becoming a marine electrician, I understand the issues and have the instruments and tools to conduct corrosion surveys on boats.
