He is a qualified and practicing marine electrical and electronics engineer, consultant and surveyor. If you want expert and unbiased advice, this is the place you will find it. He actually does this for a living, not an armchair expert or self proclaimed guru, and he is a boat owner who has sail cruised extensively and also owns his own motor vessel, chances are that your problems are ones that he has had also.

The marine electrical and marine electronics world also covers many vessel types that range from super yachts, charter yachts, motor and power to trawlers and trawler yachts and tugs.

If you are looking for useful and reliable information, the right sources of equipment and materials or just good old fashioned advice, then you have reached the right place on the internet. The following pages will give you valuable information you need to make the right decisions and choices.

THE WORLD OF MARINE ELECTRICS and MARINE ELECTRONICS

The marine electrical and marine electronics world covers a wide spectrum. They range from luxurysuper yachts and mega yachts, charter yachts, motorboats, trawlers, houseboats, tugs, oil rigs and ships of all types from cruise liners,cargo ships, Navy ships to USCG ships. Fishing is a major area of boating of all types, from bass fishing, trout fishing and fly fishing and walleye fishing, to deep sea fishing and game fishing. The simple trailer boat now has trolling motors, fish finders and the usual common problems of electrical wiring, marine batteries and battery charging. When you want weather marine forecasts the marine radio and now GMDSS is an essential item, along with the marine GPS. Every time you browse through your West Marine catalog or visit the local marine supplier store, chances are the marine equipment you buy has electrical wires. My new Marine Electrical School offers online education courses just for fishermen and their marine electrical and marine electronics systems.

The average motor and cruising yacht now has high technology marine electrical and electronics equipment. The information technology age has taken over with boats now having networks, computers, the internet and email. Whether you have a Sunseeker or Bayliner boat, canal barge, the rules remain the same. On all boat wiring, installing electrical wiring and the wiring diagram are major topics of interest. The electrical power system required to supply electrical equipment is also a misunderstood subject, and it is the foundation for reliable equipment operations. It is the source of problems on vessel machinery of all types, as well as marine engines such as your electronic controlled Mercury Marine outboard motor, and inboard diesel and gasoline boat motors. I want to change the dangerous illusion that boat and vehicle electrical systems are similar. As we all know, there are no 24 hour road services offshore, and safety is the prime factor, and this depends on good systems design and installation. Whether it is in France, England, Netherlands, Australia or the United States, the same system problems are found.

Reliable marine electrical and marine electronics installations require a systems approach. This is good planning, equipment and machinery compatibility and simple systems design, and this is the basic boating law for all equipment. My books are written to meet the practical requirements of the cruising yacht and racing yacht, motorboat and fishing boat. Electrical theory is covered only to a level sufficient to properly select, install, operate, maintain and troubleshoot with a minimum of technical expertise or theory. The books are your all-in-one repair manual, service manual, user manual, instruction manual and training manual. This website is your personal marine electrical and electronics online help desk.

My new Marine Electrical School is your online education college for training and learning about marine electrical and marine electronics systems. These marine electrical and marine electronics courses will help you gain a level of knowledge that previously belonged only to your electrician and engineer. It will answer questions and allow you to start your boat project with a good basic understanding.

As a cruising sailor and power boat owner with 30 years of commercial shipping and offshore oil rig experience as a consultant, marine surveyor,, engineer and marine electrician, I know what can happen out there. If I can stop you suffering any major failures, then it has been worth the effort. Electrical problems are not an inevitable part of boating and cruising, and reliability is possible. The keep-it-simple (KISS) approach to electrical systems is the best. Boating and sailing should be fun, don’t let problems spoil your fishing vacation, holiday or fishing expedition.
