DC Marine Repair

Custom boat, RV, & trailer electrical installations & repair in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Ventura, & Channel Islands Harbor Area

 The “Detective” Approach to Marine Power

Reliable power at sea requires a system that is fundamentally stable and safe under load. Serving Santa Barbara Harbor, Ventura Harbor, and Channel Islands Harbor, I specialize in identifying the “invisible” electrical faults that compromise your vessel’s safety and performance. As a Marine DC Microgrid Specialist and great at Boat, Shore Power Troubleshooting, I ensure your solar, alternators, and battery banks work as one cohesive, fail-safe ecosystem.

20 Years of AC/DC Passion

My obsession with electrical systems started nearly two decades ago. As an ABYC Certified Marine Electrician and ASE Master Mechanic, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to every vessel. I don’t just swap parts; I enjoy the challenge of troubleshooting the invisible problems that others overlook.

Preventative Care & Circuit Health

I prioritize the safety of your vessel and the longevity of your equipment. While I cannot foresee every internal component failure, I specialize in testing the overall health of your circuits through advanced diagnostics:

  • Boat & Shore Power Troubleshooting: I perform comprehensive health checks on your onboard circuits and dock power. Therefore ensuring they are safe and capable of handling their intended loads.
  • Advanced Toolset: To find what others miss, I utilize laboratory-grade gear. This includes oscilloscopes, short detectors, thermal imagery, and ohm boards for troubleshooting, verifying health of circuits, and gauge calibration.
  • Corrosion & Grounding Expert: By performing live load tests, I calculate exact voltage drops to pinpoint weak links or high-resistance points before they become a hazard.
  • Battery Connection & Pack Balancing I prioritize stacking connections to ABYC standards and balancing the flow of power throughout your battery bank. This not only makes your batteries last longer it prevents the hidden problems caused by uneven draw or poor foundational wiring.

Yacht Battery Health Audit

I prioritize stacking connections to ABYC standards and performing a complete Yacht Battery Health Audit. By balancing the flow of power throughout your bank, I prevent the hidden problems caused by uneven draw or poor foundational wiring, ensuring your house loads are supported for the long haul.

New Builds & Victron Integration

I am a specialist in new electrical builds, designing and installing complete systems from the ground up to professional standards. As a specialized Victron Energy installer, I leverage the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal to offer my clients real-time system visibility and remote troubleshooting support from anywhere in the world.

Mobile Service: The Rolling Warehouse

I arrive at your location with a van stocked as a rolling warehouse. Once I find the “invisible” problem, I fix it. I carry a deep inventory of specialized wire, high-amp breakers, and Victron hardware. Therefore, usually I’ll have the parts to finish the job on the spot. My goal is a quick turnover—getting your vessel back on the water in a single visit. Whether you need a Channel Islands Harbor electrician or an ABYC Certified Marine Electrician in Santa Barbara or Ventura, I bring the shop to you.
