Marine Electrical Installs Customers' Own Equipment

What reaction would you get if you took your own food into your favourite restaurant and asked them to cook it for you?

FACT: YOU CAN NOW BUY MARINE ELECTRONICS ON LINE AT LOWER PRICES THAN TRADE

Many marine businesses refuse to fit customer-supplied equipment and, as a result, there are hundreds of sub-standard installations carried out by well-meaning boat owners.  Failure of these installations can be inconvenient at best, and lethal at worst.

FACT: THE MAJORITY OF DIY MARINE ELECTRONIC INSTALLATIONS PUT THE BOAT OWNER AT RISK

The problem facing the DIY installer is that you need access to a wide range of specialist bits and pieces and, when these are not available, it’s a case of make-do. The result - badly installed equipment with a high failure rate.

Our speciality is designing and installing equipment, so we are happy to install your equipment for you. We have the specialist tools, materials and knowledge to ensure that your installation is safe and will work for many years to come.  Not only will we install the equipment for you, we will commission it and show you how it works. Call us now on 01248 811677 or chris@marineelectricalpower.com to discuss your requirements.

SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker

The great outdoors (and the sea in particular) can be a big, uncertain place. Whilst EPIRBS are coming down in price they are still beyond the reach of many boaters. Mobile phones are a great way to stay in touch, but what do you do when you can't get a signal? 

Marine Electrical have tested a new personal tracker which will let you call for help wherever you are. The robust SPOT personal tracker costs less than £150 and can be used to alert friends and loved ones wherever you are.  SPOT can be used by everyone from boaters to students on a gap year.

SPOT is the world's first satellite messenger, using the GPS satellite system to determine your location, and communications satellites to transmit that information to the chosen recipient.  SPOT works where mobile phones don't.  It allows you to send messages to loved ones, via text or email, to let them know you are OK and where you are. 

SPOT also allows you to call for emergency assistance if required, notifying the emergency services not only that you need help, but also giving them your exact location.  SPOT also has the option to track your route for you to review later using Google Map technology.

SPOT gives you and your loved ones peace of mind by allowing you to notify them or a GEOS International 9-1-1 Emergency Response Centre of your exact location via Google Maps, and to send for assistance in time of need around the world.

How SPOT works

1 GPS satellites provide co-ordinates
2 SPOT messenger's onboard GPS chip determines your exact coordinates and sends your location and message to the SPOT satellite system
3 SPOT commercial satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas around the world
4 Satellite antennas and supporting equipment route your message and location to the appropriate network
5 Your message is delivered according to your instructions via text message, email or emergency notification via the response centre
