Electrical Component &
System Upgrades

Is your boat old and tired?

Do your batteries lose their charge? Are you unsure if your boat will start every time? It maybe time to give Jim a call and find solutions to these headaches. Jim will check the battery charger, the health of your batteries, look at various connections and switches and find the problem. We’ll (the boat owner and Jim) establish a budget and determine where that gets us.

Insurance Work

Is your issue covered by insurance?

Jim has worked with adjusters on numerous jobs. Jim will take a look ($250 min.) create an estimate, which you can take to your adjuster. We (you, the boat owner, the adjuster, and Jim) can go from there and get the repairs done. This is not just limited to electrical work. Jim has numerous trade associates that he works with to tackle the whole job.

  • I needed the project done right away – Jim was able to not only complete it in the time frame but was able to do the job for much less than what the other guy could do it for!!

  • Just when I thought there was no way to solve my issue, Jim figured it out and now my boat is working great!

  • As Commodore of the WVYC, and as an active racer in the Club Wednesday Evening Series, we are very grateful for the continued support of Jim’s Marine Electrical in sponsoring the Club’s races. I would certainly have him top of the list if I needed any marine electrical work done on my race boat.

  • We picked Jim's number out of a directory and are super glad we had him fix our boat! It was a simple solution but the thorough diagnostics and troubleshooting left us with a better understanding of our electrics. Jim made a number of 'you-can-do-this-yourself' list items to work at as well. Thanks Jim!
