Mobile marine electrical service to Silva Bay Marina, Pages Marina, Degnen Bay, and Gabriola anchorages. Wiring, batteries, shore power, NMEA electronics, and quick diagnostics for cruisers transiting the Strait of Georgia. ~30 minutes from our Nanaimo base.
Gabriola sits at the north end of the Gulf Islands — the natural mid-route stop for boats running between Puget Sound and Desolation Sound. Silva Bay Marina is the most common anchor point; we also service Pages Marina, Degnen Bay, and the various Gabriola anchorages for boats on the hook.
If you're transiting Gabriola Pass, Dodd Narrows, or Porlier Pass and need a marine electrician before the next leg — call ahead and we'll meet you at the slip.
Every job performed by a qualified marine electrician on-board. Marine-grade materials, code-compliant installations, written documentation when you need it.
Shore power faults, GFI trips, charger issues, NMEA dropouts, autopilot wiring, solar problems. Diagnosed and fixed in one or two visits — back on the water without losing the cruising window.
Full or partial rewiring, panel replacements, AC + DC distribution, code-compliant terminations. Marine-grade materials throughout.
LiFePO4, AGM, and gel banks with charging infrastructure, isolators, BMS, monitors. Sized for your real-world usage.
Multi-vendor backbone networks. Chartplotter, AIS, autopilot, VHF installed + integrated. Diagnostic for existing networks with dropouts.
Shore power inlets, galvanic isolators, AC distribution. Diagnostics for mixed AC standards on US-flagged vessels.
Pre-purchase, insurance, or peace-of-mind. Written report with prioritized findings — usable for insurance docs and customs paperwork.
Yes. We regularly service US-flagged pleasure vessels transiting through Gabriola and the Gulf Islands. We're familiar with US wiring conventions, mixed AC standards (60Hz shore power variants, isolation transformer behaviour), and the documentation needs for insurance and customs. Repairs are written up properly so you have records when you head home.
Often yes. Gabriola is a ~30-minute hop from our Nanaimo base. Same-week scheduling is typical and we hold transient-cruiser windows in summer when slips are tight. Message ahead with your arrival dates and we'll try to slot you in mid-route.
Shore-power fault diagnostics (galvanic isolator dead, reverse polarity at the dock, GFI tripping); battery bank issues mid-passage (charger not closing the loop, voltage sag under load); NMEA 2000 dropouts on the cross-Strait leg; solar MPPT problems after rough weather; autopilot pump or compass wiring loose from vibration; watermaker electrical. All on-the-water-fixable in a few hours.
