- Fault-finding for intermittent power loss, corroded or loose connections, and related electrical faults
- Reporting suitable for fleet maintenance records and survey documentation
OUR DIAGNOSTIC & REPAIR APPROACH
Marine electrical faults are frequently intermittent, which makes a structured diagnostic sequence more effective than replacing components on a guess. Our approach begins with a condition-based inspection of charging, starting, battery, and distribution systems, checking connections, protection devices, and grounding and bonding before isolating the fault. This approach applies across DC and AC systems supporting engines, navigation, communication, and onboard equipment.
