Electrical Problems
The boat presented with multiple electrical components NOT working.
Customer required all electrical systems operational and the installation of...
- Minn Kota 36V trolling motor with Humminbird control system and 36V power supply
- Onshore charging system
- Solar charging system
Testing and Assessment
First, we did a full test and assessment of all existing electrical components, switching and batteries.
Over the years many marine electrical accessories had been added piecemeal and it was not feasible or cost‑effective to diagnose existing problems and then install additional electrical systems and accessories.
The electrical system was unworkable and unreliable in its current state and compromised boating safety on the water.
We discussed with the customer the problems, his requirements, and the solution.
