Marine Electrical Surveys
Comprehensive electrical inspections for pre-purchase evaluations, insurance requirements, existing owners, and preventative maintenance, using thermal imaging, stray-current testing, and ABYC compliance assessment.
Hidden electrical problems become expensive or dangerous failures.
An electrical system can look fine and still be carrying a fault that's actively accelerating corrosion, running hot inside a panel, or leaking current into the water around the hull. A survey is how those problems get found while they're still a line item, not after they've become a haul-out, an insurance claim, or worse.
Coastal Current performs electrical inspections and reports findings; we don't represent an insurance carrier and can't guarantee how any insurer will respond to a report.
What a Coastal Current survey includes
- Thermal imaging of panels, connections & high-draw circuits
- Stray-current testing
- Electrical safety inspection
- Corrosion-risk identification
- Wiring inspection & system evaluation
- ABYC compliance assessment
Buyers, owners, and anyone who wants a straight answer
Pre-purchase buyers get an unbiased look at the electrical system before closing. Existing owners get a clear picture of what's aging out and what already meets standard. Either way, you get a documented assessment, not a guess based on how old the boat looks.
A written report, not a verbal opinion
Every survey ends with a documented report: findings, photos, and each item flagged against applicable ABYC standard, with safety-critical issues called out separately from cosmetic ones. It's built to be handed to a broker, an insurer, or a lender, not just remembered from a conversation at the dock.
Built for the decision you're actually making
A pre-purchase survey gives a buyer real negotiating leverage before closing. An existing owner uses the same report to satisfy an insurer's requirements or to get ahead of a problem before it becomes a claim. Either way, the report is written to be useful after the visit is over, not just during it.
