What Does Our Elite Maintenance Service Include?
1. Electrical System & Battery Health
The #1 cause of unexpected breakdowns and marine component damage.
-
Battery Impedance and Conductance Test: Digital assessment of the State of Health (SOH) and internal impedance of each bank (house, engines, thrusters).
-
Voltage Drop Under Load: Verification of voltage drops during engine cranking or high-demand DC bus consumption.
-
Direct Thermographic Inspection: Thermal scanning of main panels, battery switches, and alternator/charger connections to detect hot spots or excessive resistance before a failure occurs.
2. Electronic Network Integrity & NMEA
The core of navigation performance, autopilot, and sensor reliability.
-
NMEA 2000 Voltage and Termination Audit: Measurement of network impedance (60 $\Omega$ nominal) and voltage drop at the furthest point of the backbone.
-
Network Scan and Bus Logs: Identification of ghost modules, dropped data frames, or firmware incompatibilities across MFDs and transducers.
-
Critical Sensor Verification: Reference testing of transducers (depth, temperature, heading fluxgate compass, and autopilot status).
3. Galvanic Protection, Grounding & Isolation
The silent factor that destroys thousands of dollars in underwater gear and drives.
-
Corrosion Potential Measurement: Potential reading relative to a reference electrode to determine if the vessel is over-protected or under-protected.
-
Stray Current Leakage Test: Detection of micro-currents in the water or bilge circuit that rapidly consume anodes and corrode thru-hulls.
-
Shore Power Grounding Assessment: Isolation testing of the shore ground connection or isolation transformer (if applicable).
4. Propulsive Efficiency, Fluids & Dynamics
Directly linked to excessive fuel consumption and unwanted vibrations.
-
Visual Inspection of Drive and Seals: Verification of visual alignment, propeller/drive condition, and shaft seals or lower unit seals.
-
Fast Fluid & Contamination Analysis: Sampling of engine/transmission oil with a refractive strip to detect moisture, water, or visible metal particles.
-
Dynamic Trim/Tabs Calibration Diagnostic: Verification of response, hydrodynamic zero, and position reading of trim tabs or dynamic trim control systems.
