Our main focus will be to check your marine batteries to ensure your boat is safe to use and ready to cruise. The Marine Group is also leading the charge in Lithium ION marine batteries for the marine market. Twice as long lasting, lighter and far superior than regular marine batteries and with zero maintenance, why would you use anything else?

We perform maintenance, servicing and replacements of all types of anchor winches, including drum and electric drum systems. Our team has the expertise and equipment to make sure you can rely on your anchor retrieval system to do its job.

Modern autopilots have various methods of maintaining a more accurate course than their predecessors: auto-trim, auto sea-state, and integration with GPS. The latest developments include SmartSteer software algorithms from Raymarine, which use a rate gyro to more accurately detect off-course deviations, and an algorithm that learns your boat’s handling characteristics to improve steering over time.

It is important to maintain your boat’s bilge pump on a regular basis. Don’t let it be a case of out-of-sight, out-of-mind. A regular check of your bilge pump to check that it is in good working order reduces the risk of problems when you need it most. Many boats have sunk simply because the Bilge Pump had not been in good working order… a simple inexpensive check and service would have prevented these costly mistakes.

As with all marine systems, chart-plotters generally are not used alone, quite often they are integrated into a range of marine instruments to help guide the ship under many conditions.

Electrically powered struts suit many different applications in addition to lifting engine covers and hatches. These days struts are being used to lift tables and steer consoles, to slide open roofs, as well as to hide barbecues and TVs after use. You can see them converting beds at the touch of a switch, and even sliding security bars into position behind exposed windows. Talk to us about a repair, service or a new installation of marine hatch lifters or linear actuators.

Installation of a bow thruster can mean greater confidence at the helm, safer docking, and more time on the water. Installing a thruster can involve some major surgery, depending on the type selected and the design of your particular vessel. As such, you’ll want to thoroughly research the various options available in order to select the one that’s right for you. Talk to the Marine Group about the various options available for your vessel including wireless control units.

Marine alternators have higher power demands than automobiles to run lights, radio transceivers, navigating equipment, AC/DC inverters, water makers, pumps, winches and other high-amperage devices. This means that marine alternators must be self-cooling at high loads or have an additional cooling subsystem. Marine alternators must also comply with strict safety specifications not required of cars. Talk to us about about the many options in marine alternators.

Marine Inverters convert the 12V or 24V DC energy stored in your batteries into household 230V AC electricity to run standard business and household appliances, televisions and marine systems when shore power is not available. Inverter/chargers should be professionally installed because they draw a lot of amps, with the potential for dangerous shorts and electrical fires if they’re wired inadequately.

All boat owners must engage the services of a licensed electrical contractor for work on any mains voltage (230V or 240V) on their boats and the electrician must ensure wiring meets Australian Standard AS/NZS 3000:2000 and AS: 3014, applicable to all States & Territories of Australia. We are fully licenced and have extensive knowledge of Sydney’s marinas and their Shore Power setups.

Without a working power source, boat owners, guests and crew can be left without air conditioning, electronics, galley equipment and more, rendering the boat useless. It is therefore important not to ignore your generator. The Marine Group service and install most marine generators including Kohler and Onan. Our team is fully qualified to perform warranty repairs, undertake scheduled service, repair, maintain and install marine generators. We offer a regular yearly service and repair service for peace-of-mind.

Stella Hydraulic Swim Platforms have become a ’must have’ accessory on all new builds and refit projects. Considering the many value adding benefits such as extending the real estate of a boat, creating a safe platform for swimming and being a carrier for jet ski and tenders – it’s really no wonder.

Watermakers for boats are now compact, efficient and so reliable that everyone considering an extended trip should plan to install one.

If you are a serious boatie, the best system may be a blended system with both a wind generator and a solar panel. When cruising for a week you may have five cloudy days with little direct sun but the wind constantly blowing 15 to 20 knots or a week of no wind and hot sunny days. Having both would protect your independence from having to continually charge your batteries by running your engine. Contact us for more info.
