Frequently Asked Questions

Should I commission an electrical survey before purchasing a used yacht?
It is highly recommended. Standard hull surveys frequently gloss over complex, specialized electrical systems. Our dedicated electrical evaluation identifies hidden faults, dangerous outdated wiring, and severe safety hazards that could cost tens of thousands to repair post-purchase.
What exactly does an OHMS Marine system evaluation entail?
We conduct an exhaustive inspection of the vessel’s wiring integrity, panel condition, battery systems, charging infrastructure, and overall compliance with ABYC safety standards. We then provide you with a detailed, plain-English report and highly practical recommendations.
Can a system evaluation help me accurately plan my upcoming refit?
Yes. A professional initial system evaluation is the single best way to accurately define the true scope of work for a refit. It ensures that all necessary electrical upgrades are accounted for in your project budget and timeline from day one.
