Mobile marine electrical service for Ganges Harbour, the Saltspring Marina, and Saltspring Island anchorages. NMEA-certified, ABYC-compliant. Visiting-cruiser friendly — we can hold a window for transient boats on the Gulf Islands circuit.
Ganges Harbour is the social and provisioning hub of the southern Gulf Islands. Most cruisers passing through the Strait of Georgia stop here — for the market, the boatyard, or both. We cover Ganges and Saltspring as part of our 120 km mobile radius, with Saltspring calls typically batched into a single visit when possible.
If you're on the Gulf Islands circuit and something needs attention, message ahead. Saltspring is far enough from our Nanaimo base that we like to coordinate the visit — but it's a regular stop on our route.
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 — Ganges and Saltspring sit inside our 120 km mobile service radius. We schedule Saltspring calls in batches when possible (booking 2–3 boats per visit keeps the trip efficient), but single emergencies are also workable. Mention the date window when you call.
That's most of what we see during cruising season. Common issues: shore power not delivering through to the boat (galvanic isolator failure, marina pedestal fault, inverter not synchronizing), battery banks discharging faster than expected, NMEA 2000 backbone dropouts, autopilot or chartplotter losing data. Diagnosed and fixed dockside without moving the boat.
Yes. US-flagged pleasure vessels are common visitors at Ganges. We work to ABYC standards (the US small-craft electrical standard) as well as Transport Canada — same underlying conventions. We can handle mixed-source AC issues. Written reports usable for US insurance + customs records.
