Marine Electronics & Electrical — Gold Coast

Yes. Our marine electricians work dockside and on the water right across South East Queensland — from Gold Coast City Marina and Coomera through the broader Gold Coast, Brisbane and northern NSW. The vans carry test gear and common parts, so most diagnostics, repairs and smaller installs are done at your berth without hauling the boat. Larger jobs — full rewires, switchboard builds, lithium installs — are usually completed in our Coomera workshop. Call 07 5612 7161 and we’ll arrange a mobile callout or a workshop booking to suit.

There’s no flat rate — marine electrical work is quoted to the job, because a quick fault-find at the dock and a full rewire are very different pieces of work. The main drivers are the time on board, whether it’s a mobile callout or a workshop job, the parts and electronics involved, and how accessible the wiring is on your vessel. For straightforward diagnostics we’ll give you an estimate up front; for installs and rewires we quote in writing before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Call 07 5612 7161 with your vessel and what you need and we’ll talk you through likely cost and the best way to tackle it.

Yes — Starlink for marine use is one of the fastest-growing jobs we do. We supply and install the hardware with marine-grade mounting, proper power and cabling and full weatherproofing, then integrate it with an onboard wifi network so phones, MFDs and crew devices all share the connection. We can also set up automatic switching between Starlink, cellular and marina wifi so the boat always picks the best available link. Whether it’s a flybridge cruiser or a superyacht, we’ll mount and wire it to last in the marine environment rather than bodging a domestic kit on board.

Installation cost depends on the hardware you choose and the mounting, power and cabling your boat needs — a simple flat-mount on a flybridge is quicker than running cable through a superyacht and integrating it with an existing network — so we quote the install to your vessel after looking at where the dish goes and how it ties into onboard power and wifi. On coverage: Starlink works well at the dock, at anchor and in coastal and many offshore waters where there’s service, using the marine or roaming plans suited to how far you cruise. We’ll set up the right plan and hardware for your cruising area and make sure it switches cleanly with cellular and marina wifi.

Yes. We design and install lithium house and start banks, battery management systems, DC-DC chargers, inverter/chargers and the distribution to suit — sized to your real continuous and peak loads rather than guesswork. Lithium delivers more usable capacity and faster charging than lead-acid, but it has to be installed correctly: appropriate protection, charging sources and monitoring all matter for safety and longevity. We handle the full upgrade, document it, and can pair it with shore power, solar or a generator so the whole charging picture works together.

Yes — intermittent faults are exactly what whole-circuit diagnosis is for. Rather than swapping parts and hoping, our electricians trace the fault across the entire circuit — connections, terminations, earth and bonding paths, switchboards and the device itself — to find the actual cause. Salt, vibration and corrosion make marine wiring faults notoriously elusive, so we test methodically, fix the root cause and, where it helps, tidy and label the wiring so the next fault is far easier to find. We document what we found and what we did.

We install and service the major marine electronics and power brands — including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, B&G, Lowrance, Furuno, Fusion, Victron and Starlink — and we’re not tied to selling you one badge. We recommend the system that suits your vessel, how you use it and what’s already on board, then network it so it all works together. We also service and fault-find electronics and electrical systems fitted by others, whether or not we supplied them.

Yes. We carry out and record marine electrical work to Australian wiring standards and provide documentation — test results, descriptions of work and compliance records — for insurers, surveyors and AMSA survey where required. It’s the same rigour we bring to insurance storm and lightning damage repairs and to commercial and superyacht work, and it protects both your claim and your vessel’s compliance. Tell us what your insurer or surveyor needs and we’ll make sure the paperwork supports it.
