Power Generation, Protection & Distribution
The backbone of the vessel: generator output, shore power inlets, transfer gear, main switchboards, breakers, busbars and branch distribution. We trace, test, repair and rebuild the systems that carry every amp on board.

Our method
Most electrical gremlins on a yacht trace back to distribution — a corroded lug, an undersized cable, a breaker that no longer trips at spec. We start with measurement, not guesswork: clamp readings under load, thermal scans on live panels, and insulation resistance testing where it matters.
Repairs are made to marine standard with tinned copper, correctly rated terminations, adhesive-lined heat shrink, proper support and clear labeling — so the next technician (or surveyor) can read the system at a glance.
Signs it's time to call
- Breakers tripping without an obvious load change
- Shore power that drops or won't transfer cleanly
- Hot panels, discolored breakers or a burnt smell
- Chargers or inverters faulting intermittently
