Our process is simple and thorough: 1. Initial Contact & Scheduling (we come to your slip). 2. Comprehensive Diagnostic (using specialized marine testing equipment to pinpoint the exact fault). 3. Estimate and Client Approval. 4. Repair and Installation (using ABYC standards). 5. Final Testing to ensure the system is fully operational and safe before we leave the vessel.

Question 7

What are the common signs of electrical problems on a boat?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

The most common signs requiring immediate attention are: dimming or flickering lights when the engine starts, repeated failure of battery charging, unexplained tripping of circuit breakers, the smell of burning plastic, or a starter motor that cranks slowly or inconsistently. If you notice any of these in the Long Beach area, contact us immediately to prevent serious damage.

Question 8

Do high-intensity underwater LED lights improve night visibility around the boat?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Yes — high-output underwater LEDs dramatically increase visibility when docking, loading passengers, or spotting debris at night. They also create a clear halo around your hull for added safety.

Question 9

Can you install underwater LED lights directly at my slip in Marina del Rey or Long Beach?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Absolutely — we offer full mobile marine LED installation at your marina, slip, mooring, or private dock in Long Beach, San Pedro, Wilmington, and Marina del Rey.

Question 10

Are these underwater LEDs safe for Pacific saltwater and heavy marine growth?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Yes — the lights we install are fully sealed, corrosion-resistant, and designed for Pacific Ocean saltwater. They also feature anti-fouling technology that reduces marine growth.

Question 11

Will high-intensity underwater LEDs drain my batteries when anchored overnight?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

No — modern underwater LEDs use very low amperage. We test your wiring, breakers, and battery capacity during installation to ensure safe, efficient operation.

Question 12

Can you replace my old halogen underwater lights with new LED units?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Yes — we upgrade outdated halogen or burned-out fixtures to high-intensity LEDs, often using your existing hull cutouts to avoid new drilling.

Question 13

How many lumens do underwater lights need for clear illumination in California marinas?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Most boats use 6,000–24,000 lumens per fixture, depending on water clarity and hull size. We recommend the optimal lumen output for your specific marina conditions.

Question 14

Do you offer color-changing underwater LED lighting for nighttime ambience?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Yes — we install RGB and full-spectrum color-changing underwater lights with wireless remotes, smartphone control, or helm-mounted switches.

Yes — we professionally install Starlink Maritime, Starlink Mobility, and Starlink High-Performance antennas on yachts, sailboats, trawlers, and commercial fishing vessels. We configure the entire system for optimal offshore connectivity.

Question 16

Can you come to my slip to install Starlink in Marina del Rey or Long Beach?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Absolutely — we provide mobile Starlink installation at your slip, mooring, or private dock in Long Beach, San Pedro, Wilmington, Redondo Beach, and Marina del Rey.

Question 17

Will Starlink work reliably offshore along the California coast?

Question 18

Do I need special marine mounts or can I use the stock Starlink hardware?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

For boats, we recommend marine-grade mounts, reinforced bases, vibration isolation, and proper cable routing. Stock home mounts are not designed for marine use and can fail under wind load or saltwater exposure.

Question 19

Can you integrate Starlink with my existing marine electronics?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Yes — we integrate Starlink with your routers, NMEA networks, onboard Wi-Fi, security cameras, chartplotters, and monitoring systems, ensuring seamless connectivity throughout the vessel.

Question 20

How fast is Starlink on a boat compared to 4G/5G?

admin admin · Accepted Answer

Starlink typically provides 100–220 Mbps download, far faster and more stable than coastal 4G/5G. It remains reliable even when you’re miles offshore where cellular coverage disappears.
