From Navigation Lights to Autopilot: Electrical Services for Newcastle Boaters
Newcastle boats cop a bit of everything—harbour traffic, seabreezes, bar crossings, and offshore sessions. Reliable electrics aren’t optional; they’re the difference between a smooth day and a shortened one. Here’s how Shotgun Marine + PMMS keep your wiring safe, tidy and future-proof.
Start with the essentials
- Navigation lights: Correct brightness and wiring keep you compliant and visible.
- Batteries & charging: Right chemistry (AGM/LiFePO₄), isolation, DC-DC and solar integration.
- Switching: Clean panels, labelled circuits, moisture protection.
- VHF/AIS: Clear comms and traffic awareness, properly terminated coax and power feeds.
Then add the smarts
- Autopilot: Correct pump/computer sizing and heading sensor placement; calibrated on sea-trial.
- MFD + sonar/radar: Integrated pages, transducer placement to hold bottom at speed, radar overlay.
- NMEA 2000: Backbone layout, tees/terminators, power injection—no mystery faults.
- Monitoring: Battery and tank sensors, app connectivity for real-time status.
