Refit or Upgrade?
A worst-case scenario, such as a lightning strike or fire, will typically demand you evaluate and replace electrical elements on your boat. This is very different than an upgrade. You should change all equipment necessary to safely operate the vessel when an accident occurs, including the associated wiring and power supplies. A professional analysis of your vessel’s condition is required to determine how extensive the damage is. Any compromised equipment should be replaced to be sure you’re back in good shape. If your boat is getting on in years and you notice some essential equipment deteriorating, it is good to schedule a refit to install newer electronics.
The Refit Process
At Marine Electric Systems, our electrical refits transform an outdated system and improve its efficiency. No two boats are the same, and we treat every project with careful attention to detail.
First, we evaluate all electrical system components and design a new system to meet your requirements. We carefully remove the outdated elements, then find the best locations and layout for the latest electronics. Our goal is to transform your boat while keeping its aesthetic and factory designs intact. In many cases, we will renovate the infrastructure to ensure a seamless transition to the new system. We cater each refit to your specific boat, and we match the aesthetic of all the materials.
