From our regular work near Netley moorings, we know that netley overlooks Southampton Water with views throughout to the Isle of Wight. We serve Netley craft owners with convenient yacht electrical work. We've worked through it long enough to know what matters.
Working alongside the local Netley yards and brokers, when you connect to shore power, your boat becomes part of an electrical circuit with every other yacht on the pontoon. A galvanic isolator blocks destructive galvanic currents while maintaining essential safety earthing. Across Netley's waterfront and the moorings near Netley moorings, this comes up frequently. That principle shapes how we job on each boat we attend in Netley.
Shore power problems can be dangerous — we test polarity, earth bonding and galvanic isolation properly, not just whether the lights come on.
Lots of vessels Netley only float for part of the tide — we time our work to suit your access window.
Crossover switching between shore and inverter sources requires proper interlock — we plan and install with safety the priority.
Production cruisers from the 1990s and early 2000s frequently need their original tinned-copper wiring revisited — corrosion creeps in.
Honesty about scope, timeline and cost is the foundation of how we task — no surprises, no padding.

We know the local chandleries, what's stocked, and what requires ordering — saves time on each job.
On the vessels we look after throughout Netley, dissimilar metals in contact with seawater create galvanic cells. Shore power earth connections accelerate this, eating through your hull fittings, propeller, and anodes faster. Crossover switching between shore and inverter sources requires proper interlock — we plan and install with safety the priority. From Netley moorings outwards throughout Hampshire, the method is the same. That approach has paid off on dozens of yachts all over Netley.
