All over Hayling Island's marinas and moorings, when you connect to shore power, your yacht becomes part of an electrical circuit with every other boat on the pontoon. A galvanic isolator blocks destructive galvanic currents while maintaining essential safety earthing. The Northney Marina fleet sees plenty of this kind of job — and it's what we set out to be sound at. That principle shapes how we work on each yacht we attend in Hayling Island.
Galvanic corrosion from poor shore power earthing eats expensive metalwork — getting the AC setup right protects your craft as well as your crew.
Strong tidal streams in the area mean some berths are easier to attend on a slack tide — we plan accordingly.
Galvanic isolators are cheap insurance against corrosion damage — we recommend and fit them as standard on long-stay shore power installs.
From compact bilge-keelers to 50-foot blue-water cruisers, the variety of vessels keeps each job different.
Good boat electrics work is invisible — neat, dependable, and never something you have to think about again.
For boat skippers around Northney Marina and Sparkes Marina, repeat job and yard recommendations are how we measure ourselves — both have grown steadily for years.

From day-to-day work in Hayling Island, dissimilar metals in contact with seawater create galvanic cells. Shore power earth connections accelerate this, eating through your hull fittings, propeller, and anodes faster. Shore power problems can be dangerous — we test polarity, earth bonding and galvanic isolation properly, not just whether the lights come on. Yachts at Northney Marina get this approach as a matter of routine. That approach has paid off on dozens of yachts all over Hayling Island.
In Hampshire the local cruising grounds reward reliable electrics — we build with cross-Channel and Solent passages in mind.
