The Electrical Refit Process
Despite their age, older boats are incredibly desirable for recreational clients. Their vintage characteristics create a classic aesthetic and give the boat a timeless appeal. However, many of these boats are not fit for offshore cruising due to their outdated electrical systems. A comprehensive electrical refit is essential to ensure safety out at sea!
As the first step, we evaluate all components of the electrical system and design a new system that meets all of the customer requirements. We carefully remove the outdated components, then determine the best locations and layout for the new components. Our goal is to upgrade your boat while preserving its aesthetic and factory designs. In many cases, our team will renovate the infrastructure to ensure a seamless transition for the new system. We build mounting pads and or shelves, to properly support the new equipment, fabricate custom bezels and trim to guarantee nothing looks out of place. Every refit is catered to your specific boat and we match the aesthetic of all the materials. All components, old and new, should be complementary and work together cohesively.
