Charging Systems & Battery Banks
Efficient and dependable charging systems and battery banks are the foundation of any efficient marine electrical setup. At Everett Yacht Service, we:
- Design and install battery banks (lead-acid, AGM, gel, and Li-ion where applicable), selecting capacity matched to your vessel’s power demands and usage.
- Install and maintain alternators, DC chargers, isolators, and automatic charge regulators to ensure that shore power, generator, solar input, and engine-driven charging all function in harmony.
- Monitor, test, and repair battery bank health: checking voltage drops, interconnects, corrosion, balancing cells in multi-bank systems, and ensuring safety.
- Replace aged or underperforming batteries and upgrade wiring, connectors, and safety devices (fusing, breakers) to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Troubleshooting & Repair
When electrical systems are acting up, diagnostics are indispensable. Everett Yacht Service is equipped to:
- Trace wiring faults or shorts, fix voltage drop, and detect insulation breakdown or corrosion issues.
- Diagnose issues with charging systems (alternators, regulators, shore power, inverters).
- Repair or replace malfunctioning components, including switches, panels, circuit breakers, fuses, wiring, and connectors.
- Address lighting, bilge pump, ventilation fan, and other subsystem failures.
- Perform routine safety inspections to verify bonding, grounding, anti-corrosion measures, GFCI/ELCI protection, and ensure systems comply with marine electrical safety standards.
Electronics: GPS, Radar, Marine Communication & Audio
Beyond the power side, modern electronics enable boat operation, navigation, safety, communication, and comfort. Our electronics services include:
- Navigation systems: Installation, calibration, and repair of GPS/chartplotters, radar systems, autopilot integration, depth sounders, and sonars. Ensuring they are correctly mounted, wired, and antenna/radar array aligned.
- Marine communication: VHF radios, AIS, Starlink, – installation, antenna placement, configure wiring, ensuring reliability as needed.
- Fishfinders and sonar systems: for those who fish or want underwater profiling, we mount, install, tune, and troubleshoot these systems to provide quality imaging.
- Audio & entertainment systems: marine-rated speakers, amplifiers, cabin or deck audio zones, integration of audio with navigation or entertainment systems. Wiring must be waterproof, vibration-resistant, and properly fused.
