so we were engaged by the owner to come

and have a look at his boat because

there's some he fell there were some

problems with the electrical system and

as a first step we we often start with a

service called an electrical audit and

that's where we spend about an hour and

a half to two hours on a boat looking at

the electrical system and that means the

batteries the inverter the Chargers the

alternators the AC distribution the DC

distribution and that's how we started

with this boat owner we started with an

electrical audit we provide that as a

flat fee for about a hundred and eighty

nine dollars and with that it gives the

owner a report and a baseline as to

where they are and what are the critical

deficiencies and also recommendations

and so once we did this survey aboard

the boat we made some recommendations in

terms of things that should be done

immediately and so the scope of the

project was dealing with the way how the

batteries were wired putting proper DC

distribution switching ie separation of

the battery banks allow isolation of the

house and engine batteries and then also

installing a battery monitor on board so

the owner would know the depth of

discharge of his house bank and

replacing the inverter only model with

an inverter charger model so that the

house batteries well connected to show

up our concerns at a faster rate and

also integrating the inverter into the

main AC panel so that only some loads

are gonna be running off the inverter

not all the loads
