Systems matrix

Power, data, and control belong on one documented architecture.

AMS Electrical & Electronics evaluates generation, storage, distribution, protection, loads, networks, sensors, displays, communications, and monitoring as connected vessel infrastructure.

AC/DC power

Safe, serviceable power from shore, generator, alternator, solar, and batteries to every onboard load.

Shore power, generators, transfer, and isolation
DC distribution, busbars, panels, and protection
Wiring, terminations, labeling, and voltage drop
Grounding, bonding, corrosion, and fault paths
Electrical audits, refits, and documentation

Energy storage and charging

Battery chemistry, charge sources, loads, protection, and monitoring designed as one energy system.

Flooded, AGM, and lithium battery banks
Alternators, regulators, chargers, and inverters
Solar arrays and charge controllers
Battery management, fusing, switching, and isolation
Load analysis, runtime, monitoring, and commissioning

Navigation, sonar, and communications

Electronics integrated around clean power, reliable data, sensor geometry, and operator use.

MFDs, radar, depth sounders, fish finders, AIS, GPS, and VHF
Furuno and Wesmar retractable scanning sonar
FLIR thermal and low-light vision
NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Ethernet, and gateway diagnosis
Transducers, antennas, software, helm layout, commissioning, and handover

Connectivity, monitoring, and lighting

Reliable vessel connectivity, condition awareness, and control of essential and exterior lighting systems.

Starlink hardware, power, cable routing, and onboard network integration
Remote battery, shore-power, bilge, and tank monitoring
Temperature, humidity, access, smoke, and alarm sensors
Lumitec, interior, navigation, deck, and underwater lighting
Alerts, control logic, documentation, and owner training

How the division works

Measure first. Repair the cause. Verify the result.

The process follows the complete vessel system—not a single component in isolation. That reduces unnecessary parts replacement and creates a cleaner service record for the next decision.

01

Map the installed system

Power sources, distribution, protection, loads, grounds, bonds, batteries, chargers, networks, sensors, electronics, and prior modifications are documented.

02

Measure under real load

Voltage drop, current, charge behavior, network health, source transfer, alarms, interference, and thermal conditions are tested rather than inferred.

03

Correct and integrate

Wiring, protection, batteries, charging, displays, sensors, network components, labeling, controls, and documentation are repaired or upgraded as one architecture.

04

Commission and hand over

Functions are tested, settings are documented, the owner or crew is shown the system, and future maintenance or expansion needs are recorded.

Field evidence

Real Accumar work. Specific systems. Useful context.

Project images are shown with factual captions so owners, captains, engineers, and yards can understand the type of work behind the service claim.

Division FAQ

Questions technical customers ask before the first visit.

Does AMS handle both marine electrical and navigation electronics?+

Yes. The division covers AC/DC distribution, shore power, batteries, charging, inverters, solar, circuit protection, wiring, grounding/bonding, displays, radar, depth and fish finding, scanning sonar, AIS, VHF, FLIR thermal imaging, Starlink, sensors, NMEA networks, lighting, and vessel monitoring.

Can you evaluate a boat before a lithium-battery conversion?+

Yes. A proper conversion reviews loads, alternators, chargers, inverters, cable sizes, protection, battery management, isolation, ventilation, mounting, monitoring, shore power, generator interaction, and the owner’s operating goals.

What causes intermittent NMEA 2000 or electronics faults?+

Common causes include power quality, voltage drop, improper network termination, damaged connectors, water intrusion, overloaded segments, poor device configuration, software compatibility, grounding, interference, or a failed node. The network should be tested as a system.

Can AMS install or service retractable scanning sonar?+

Yes. Accumar supports Furuno and Wesmar retractable scanning-sonar systems, including installation planning, hull units, deployment equipment, controls, displays, power, network integration, and diagnosis. Hull work may require haul-out and yard coordination.

Can FLIR or Starlink be integrated with existing onboard systems?+

Often, yes. Compatibility depends on the installed camera, displays, network, Starlink hardware, power architecture, cable routes, and intended controls. AMS verifies those interfaces before defining the installation scope.

Do you provide marine electrical audits?+

Yes. Audits can document distribution, wiring, protection, shore power, batteries, charging, grounding/bonding, labeling, heat damage, corrosion, modifications, and priority recommendations based on the requested scope.

Can monitoring systems alert an owner when the boat is unattended?+

Depending on the installed equipment and connectivity, monitoring may report battery condition, shore power, bilge activity, temperature, tank levels, doors/hatches, alarms, and other sensor states. Coverage and alert reliability depend on power, network, cellular/satellite access, and configuration.

Planned maintenance

Electrical reliability starts with clean power and documented changes.

Scheduled reviews can identify heat, corrosion, loose connections, voltage drop, deteriorated shore power, battery decline, network faults, and undocumented modifications before they become intermittent failures.

Field notes

Short checks from the field.

Brief educational videos from Accumar technicians. Use them as general screening guidance—not as a substitute for the installed equipment manual or a system-specific diagnosis.

34-second field tip

Marine battery checks in summer heat

A short pre-departure screening sequence covering charger isolation, measurement at the battery posts, visible condition, and a controlled load check.

Technical note: Battery voltage and load-test limits vary by chemistry, temperature, state of charge, and manufacturer. Isolate ignition sources, use appropriate PPE, and do not test a swollen, leaking, hot, or damaged battery.

August heat cooks marine batteries. Ten minutes before a weekend or a storm, kill the charger. Meter on the posts, not the panel. On flooded or AGM, 12.6 at rest is healthy. 12.2 is about half. Lithium voltage lies; you need a shunt. Then put a real load on it. Lights, fridge, a short crank—if the case is not swollen. White crust on terminals is voltage drop. Water: flooded cells only. If it sags, get a free load test at Accumar Marine. We test the battery and the charger.
