Over a period of time the boats electrical system may need some tweaking or replacement. To avoid long and costly list of things that need to be corrected, it is important to follow some additional regulations about the materials and methods of installation.

2. Boat Electrical
• Balance your boat’s electrical system – Determine
your power requirements, provide sufficient power
storage & charging capacity and set the voltage
regulation level.
• Materials & Equipment – It is advisable to use marine
application rated materials and equipment.
• Buying Older Boats – Pay attention to the condition of
the electrical system while buying a used or older boat.
The cost of correcting poor electrical systems can be
very high.

3. Boat Electrical
• Survey – Since boats are exposed to corrosion from
time to time, an electrical survey needs to be conducted
at least every 5 years.
• Adding New Equipment – Make sure that your boat
can comfortably accommodate new equipments without
messing up with the existing system.
• Batteries – The battery surface should be clean and dry
and all cables in good condition. The batteries should be
easily accessible and located high above bilge. If the
batteries are not being used, they must be fully charged
at least once every 3 months

4. • Connections – All the connections should be easy to
access and above bilge water levels. All mechanical
connections must be kept clean and coated with
moisture resisting sealant and should be locked.
• Wires & Cables - The wiring should be stranded instead
of solid. All wires and cables should be above bilge water
levels. The insulation should be flame retardant and
moisture resistant and free form cracks. The wire color
should be consistent throughout the system and should
conform to all standards.
