Heres what I actually do minus the fluff.

From tracking down electrical gremlins to setting up reliable solar systems, I cover pretty much anything that makes life afloat a bit easier (and safer). I work on liveaboards, narrowboats, and yachts mainly along the non-tidal Thames. If it moves, pumps, charges, leaks, or refuses to start — I can probably help.

electrical- its the system that never rests.
low battery problems

Low battery and no-start situations can be a drain (literally).
