Marine electrical is harder than the wiring in your house — saltwater, vibration, dissimilar metals, and a dozen accessories sharing a small ground bus. When something stops working it's almost never the obvious component; it's a corroded terminal, a bad ground, or a fused wire that someone tapped into ten years ago. We bring real diagnostic tools — load tester, clamp meter, megger when needed — to your slip in Delray Beach and find the actual fault instead of throwing parts at the symptom.
When You Need Marine Electrical Repair
Call when you see any of these:
- Engine won't crank, cranks slowly, or only sometimes
- Batteries won't hold a charge or drain overnight
- Bilge pump or float switch not working
- Nav lights, courtesy lights, or accessories flicker or die
- Trim/tilt circuit dead or intermittent
- Stereo, GPS, or VHF cuts out under engine load
- Visible green corrosion on terminals, lugs, or buss bars
- Charger or shore-power circuit isn't charging
- Burning smell, melted insulation, or popped fuses
Electrical problems on saltwater boats compound — a single bad ground can take out a dozen unrelated circuits and look like five different failures.
Our Marine Electrical Repair Process
We start at the battery and work outward:
- Battery load test and resting voltage check on each battery
- Charging system output test at idle and at load
- Voltage drop tests on main supply and ground paths
- Inspect main panel, buss bars, and grounds for corrosion
- Trace the failing circuit with a meter and wiring diagram
- Replace corroded terminals, lugs, and damaged wire runs
- Re-terminate with proper marine-grade connectors and heat shrink
- Test the repaired circuit under real load before we leave
We use tinned marine wire, adhesive heat shrink, and proper torque specs on lugs. No twist-and-tape, no cheap auto-parts connectors that will fail in a year.
Marine Electrical Repair Cost in Delray Beach
Electrical pricing is mostly time-based since the work is diagnostic. Simple repairs (battery swap, terminal rework, bad ground) are low-cost. Tracing a complex intermittent or rewiring a panel takes longer. You get an estimate after the initial diagnostic and a flat quote before we start the repair.
