We fit all individual circuits using resettable circuit breakers or fuses. Bilge pumps and other critical "always on" circuits are individually fused and bypass the main battery switches. We supply and install only the highest quality, pre-built AC and DC switch panels. All wiring is of marine grade tinned copper to prevent high resistance connections due to corrosion. For peace of mind, be confident that the equipment fitted meets applicable standards and are class approved for the purpose
One problem with a fire aboard a boat is that unlike a house, where running across the street to escape the flames is an option, on a boat there’s no place to go but overboard. Unfortunately, this violates the second rule of boating: Stay with the boat. Ironically, if enough of what the boat is floating on can be brought into the boat, the fire can usually be put out. This, however, violates the first law of boating: Keep the water outside the boat.
