Most electrical problems on a boat aren’t the gear. They’re the wiring behind it — undersized cable, corroded joins, twenty years of add-ons hanging off one tired loom. We wire boats properly, from bare hulls to full refits, so everything downstream works and keeps working.
Sunshine Coast Marine Electrical Doctor is based in Coolum Beach and wires leisure and commercial vessels right across the coast, with over 15 years of marine electrical work behind every job.
Bare hull to finished boat, designed around how you’ll use it.
Strip out the old loom and start clean.
Circuits that make sense, breakers that match the load.
House and start banks, isolators, DC-DC charging.
NMEA 2000 networks run and terminated properly.
Sized, fused and labelled.
A boat isn’t a car. Everything vibrates, everything gets wet and every join is a place for salt to get in. We use tinned marine-grade cable, sealed terminations and supported runs, then label the lot so the next person who opens the panel knows exactly what they’re looking at. No rats’ nests, no mystery wires.
If your boat’s had three owners and every one of them added something, the loom tells the story — flickering gauges, breakers that trip in chop, a radio that dies when the fridge kicks in. A rewire clears all of it in one job and it’s often cheaper than chasing faults one by one for years.
We wire working boats to survey requirements — charter, fishing and commercial craft. Downtime costs you money, so we give you an honest scope and get you back on the water fast.
Common signs: breakers tripping for no clear reason, gauges flickering, corrosion at the terminals, electronics dropping out in chop or wiring that’s been added to over the years without a plan. If you’re chasing a new fault every season, the loom is usually the real problem.
Yes. Complete new-vessel wiring for leisure and commercial boats, designed from scratch around your layout, your electronics and how you use the boat.
Sometimes, depending on the boat. We’ll tell you straight whether staging works or whether a single clean rewire is the better spend.
Yes. We wire commercial craft to survey requirements and we understand downtime costs you money, so we scope tight and work fast.
Coolum Beach is home base and we cover the whole Sunshine Coast as standard. Bigger wiring jobs and commercial fit-outs take us across Queensland — call and we’ll confirm your location.
