All sailors and boat owners should have a basic understanding of 12-Volt DC systems, basic electrical concepts, and the tools you need to maintain and fix your boat's electrical system. When you're traveling and something goes wrong, you can't just call an electrician—YOU must be the electrician. In this series, we want to empower you to do that. So today is the beginning of our multi-part series on Boat Electrical Systems. We'll start with the basics, then work our way up to troubleshooting common problems.
