With the increasing com­plexity and inter-dependency of electrical installations, say Marine Energy Systems, comes a need for specialist knowledge about how the various ele­ments interact. That's why they've joined forces with two other companies to offer an electrical survey service to boat owners. The process starts with a questionnaire asking for details of your engine and domestic batteries, alternator, battery charger, solar, wind or engine generator, inverter, circuit layout and battery man­agement system. Armed with all the informa­tion, they'll arrange to visit with a local marine electrician - ideally, looking at several boats in each location to bring the survey price down from a maximum of £1 75 to as low as £50 depending on numbers. In any event, they'll let you know the cost in advance. Recommendations in the report Will include fitting new or replacement equipment where applicable - but the cost of the survey will be deducted should you follow their sugges­tions and have the work carried out through their asso­ciated contractors. Along with MES - who make a battery management system - the companies involved are Ampair (wind generators and solar panels) and Omnicharge, distributors of the Swedish­made LEAB battery chargers.
