So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Marine Electronics Juneau Gets It Done Right

By Sonya Riley


Modern day sailors are increasingly relying on a broad variety of boat electronics. Even paper charts are becoming outdated since some maritime authorities deem digital versions to be suitable alternatives. When purchasing new items, mariners look for retailers that can supply the products quickly. The associated installation, maintenance or repair work requires a suitably qualified and registered trade person. Marine Electronics Juneau can get the job right the first time. It has a dedicated team of certified professionals that are fully bonded and insured. The team works on the electrical systems of both commercial and recreational boats.

Marine electronics is a specialized niche requiring knowledge different to land-based colleagues. For one thing, the marine environment is harsh and wiring requires extra protection. For instance, some boat electrical products have tin coated wiring.

Boat electrical specialists are confronted with many difficulties when sourcing, installing and repairing electronic items on boat. These difficulties recur again and again. They are a constant challenge. Here we mention a few.

Each boat, particularly older ones, has an electrical system that is virtually unique. Any person needing to work on that system must quickly develop an understanding of it. This is made difficult since the wiring may not be labeled and the overall configuration not be formally specified in technical drawings.

Marine electronics installers must conquer all the installation details for each individual product. This is a big task since there are a vast number of products, not to mention models and makes, on the market. These include terrestrial and satellite TV signal amplifiers, very high frequency (VHF) and single side band (SSB) radios, radio receivers, frequency converters, computer modems, Wi-Fi boosters, modulators and high power distribution amplifiers.

Trade persons always have very little room in which to move around and work, especially after they bring their tools onboard. Fourth, the spaces where they need to install ducting, cabling and wiring is even more cramped. Fifth, they must systematically label all their wiring work, record it in a log and provide the owner with a schematic drawing of its details.

The 12 and 24v systems are installed on boats because product manufacturers make many electrical boat items based on automotive or industrial products to keep production costs low. For example, smaller boats (less than 18 meters) usually have a 12v DC electrical while larger boats have 24v DC electrical separate from a 110/210/220/240v AC system to enable the boat hook-up to shore power.

Marine Electronics Juneau has a team of seasoned professionals that have worked on countless commercial and pleasure craft. Certified team members are members of the industry association. They are bonded and insured. Some trained and worked within the US Coast Guard. Whatever job might be needed on a vessel, the team can size it up and get it done quickly and with minimum cost to a standard that will exceed expectations.
