Marine Electricians Australia. Find a marine electrician or electronics technician by the state and port where the boat will be available for work. The directory covers Australia’s six states and the Northern Territory, with a separate inland entry point for the Australian Capital Territory. Use it to find help with electrical fault-finding, battery and charging systems, shore power, rewiring, and the installation or repair of navigation and communications equipment.
Start with the boat’s berth, mooring or yard location. Give the contractor the marina name and say whether the boat will be afloat or ashore. If you need equipment repaired, provide the make, model and fault description and ask whether it can be tested aboard or needs to go to a workshop. For a rewire or charging-system refit, agree in writing where the work will take place, who supplies the equipment and who will test the installation before handover.
Search South East Queensland around the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Moreton Bay, then the Sunshine Coast and the Fraser Coast. Farther north, use Bundaberg, Gladstone, Mackay, the Whitsundays, Townsville and Cairns as search points. A boat at a mainland marina and a boat on an island mooring in the same cruising area can require different arrangements. If you are in the Whitsundays or another island location, give the contractor the island, marina or mooring and ask where the boat needs to be for inspection and testing.

Search from the Tweed and Coffs Harbour south through Port Macquarie, Port Stephens and Newcastle. Use separate search areas for Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast, Pittwater and the Hawkesbury, and Sydney Harbour. Farther south, look around Botany Bay, Port Hacking, Jervis Bay, Batemans Bay and Eden. For a boat on a swing mooring, confirm whether the electrician can work there or needs the boat alongside, particularly if the job requires a shore power supply or several visits.

Search Port Phillip by the side of the bay where the boat is berthed. Melbourne and the northern bay, Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Mornington Peninsula are separate service areas. Use Western Port for boats around Hastings and the Phillip Island side, and the Gippsland Lakes for Paynesville, Metung and Lakes Entrance. Farther west, search around Warrnambool and Portland. If a job involves replacing a through-hull transducer or moving a sensor, ask who will arrange the lift and who will test the electronics after relaunch.

Use the Hobart and Derwent River listings for boats around the city, then search the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and the Huon separately. On the north coast, look around the Tamar and Launceston, Devonport and Burnie. Use the east coast for Triabunna and St Helens, and the west coast for Strahan and Macquarie Harbour. If you are arranging work away from the technician’s base, confirm whether the job can be completed in one visit or whether diagnosis, parts delivery and installation will need separate appointments.

Start with Adelaide and Gulf St Vincent, including the Port Adelaide and Outer Harbor area. Search the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island separately, then use Port Lincoln and the Eyre Peninsula for boats on the western side of Spencer Gulf. On the eastern side, look around the Yorke Peninsula and the upper gulf. If the work involves both a navigation upgrade and a charging fault, describe them as separate jobs so the provider can confirm which work it handles and whether it can attend your berth.

Use Albany and the south coast for boats approaching from the east, then search the South West, Mandurah, Cockburn Sound, Fremantle and the Perth area. Continue north through Geraldton, Carnarvon and Exmouth to the Pilbara and Kimberley. For a job outside the contractor’s home port, confirm the travel charge and the arrangements for a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where a workshop mainly serves fishing or commercial vessels, ask whether it takes recreational yacht work and handles your equipment brand.

Use Darwin as the first search point. Give the contractor the marina, mooring or yard name, since the location determines how the boat can be accessed and whether it needs to move for the job. For boats elsewhere in the Territory, confirm where the technician is based and whether they can travel to the boat. If the work is part of preparation for an offshore passage, agree when replacement equipment can be installed and tested before setting your departure date.
