Shore Power Assessment — Netley

Right throughout Netley's berths, your marina berth may not provide enough power for AC. We assess your shore power supply and upgrade inlet connections, cables, and distribution as needed. Behind every trustworthy boat wiring system is a lot of small decisions done correctly: cable size, termination, clipping, sealing, labelling, and testing. Throughout Hampshire, this kind of work makes up a real share of what we do.

Many yachts berthed at Netley moorings are kept on the water year-round, so winter resilience is part of the brief.

Netley: Compressor Wiring

When we attend vessels in Netley, marine AC compressors need properly rated circuits with correct cable sizing, dedicated breakers, and earth leakage protection.

That spec applies whether the boat is at Netley moorings or on a private mooring nearby. That detail matters more than it sounds, particularly for boats kept near Netley moorings.
