100Amp Shore power upgrade + Electronic shore power retractor/Glendening install
Power boat 88ft 2015
Customers wanted to upgrade the shore power system onboard this great custom 88ft fishing vessel. To do this we first upgraded from his current 50Amp shore power system and modified it to a 100amp service with a new transformer onboard. After this was in we decided to install a Glendening cord retraction system. This was a custom fit install where we had to design a specialty receptacle enclosure through CAD to ensure all systems will fit and the cord will run in and out smoothly. This system was machined at a local metal shop that specializes in stainless, then installed with the rest of the equipment and tested. In the end we were able to meet all the customers’ wants.

Full navigation system upgrade
Sailboat 47ft 2007
We started onboard repairing and upgrading the bonding system, but ended upgrading the entire navigation system onboard. Customers wanted to go with an entire B&G system, chartplotters for both helm and nav table, instrument displays for the helm, autopilot, VHFs, windvane for the mast. All tied together with some fabricated wooden panel for the lower nav table and a custom ordered stainless steel plate for the helm. After systems were installed and tested with the owners, along with a personal training on how to use and interact with their new system.
