Electrical for Boat Lifts and Dock Power Outlets
Serving Coral Springs, FL, and surrounding areas
Boat lifts are designed to raise a boat out of the water to help keep the boat clean, minimize the impact of marine life on the boat’s bottom, and protect the boat from floating debris. Although a boat is meant for water, storing it in the water can decrease its lifespan. More and more boat owners opt for a boat lift for their motorboats, sailboats, and personal watercraft.
Electrical power at the dock allows boat owners to enjoy features that need electricity, like a boat lift, power tools, small appliances, lights, and the ability to charge devices. Additionally, larger boats may require shore power to charge the boat batteries and operate the systems aboard without running the engine.
Private dock owners may also want electrical power on the dock for repairs, lighting, and convenience. Simple applications may only require a power pedestal. If the dock owner wants a small pavilion, an electrician can run the right wiring to power a TV, sound system, small appliances, and more.
Boat and dock owners should hire an electrician for electrical work to ensure the best results. Although it may be straightforward, electrical and water rarely mix well, and the installer must adhere to city code and safety regulations to provide a successful installation.
