Eight plates the shop gets hired for.
The catalogue is short and the catalogue is honest. Inside the eight plates below is what we are willing to put our name on. Outside of them is work we will either decline or refer to a shop better placed than us. There is no plate "P-09 — everything else"; that is the plate we wrote ourselves out of in 2011 and we have not been sorry.
Vessel rewires
Stem-to-stern rewires for trawlers, scallopers, and lobster boats, mostly 30–95 ft. Tinned copper to ABYC E-11. Every conductor labeled both ends. Printed deck plan stays with the boat.

RSW and slurry-ice control panels for scallop, squid, and herring boats. Carel and Danfoss controllers. Intrinsically-safe wiring where ammonia is in the room.
Read plate ↗ Plate P-03Shore-power tie-ins
50 A and 100 A landside tie-ins on the State Pier, Pier 3, Leonard Wharf, and South Terminal. Galvanic isolators where the symptom is corrosion.
Read plate ↗ Plate P-04Switchboard upgrades
Replacing 1980s 480/240 V boards with modern switchgear. Selective-coordination studies, arc-flash labels, full as-builts on D-size paper.

A clean backbone, two terminators, one drop per device. Garmin, Furuno, Simrad, Maretron mixed without grief. Documented on the bridge.

Walks for ABYC, USCG load-line, and underwriter audits. We mark what fails before the surveyor does. Corrective-action package on a single page.
Read plate ↗ Plate P-08Shipyard collaboration
We share keys with Bristol Marine and Fairhaven Shipyard. Drydock electrical alongside hull, paint, and refit work. We work to your foreman's schedule.
Read plate ↗It is not a marketing menu. The plates above are the only categories of work the shop will accept on a new boat. If you ask for something outside of them, we will either say no or hand you the number of a shop better placed than us — usually FMG for hull work, the local sailmaker for canvas, the local refrigeration shop for ammonia-system work that has crossed the line into the mechanical trade.
Cross-references
The plates are referenced throughout the site. Pricing is on the rates page. The codes the plates work to are on the standards page. The actual boats we have done these plates on are in the hulls log. Articles about the work are on the bulletins page.
First call
The single fastest way to bring a job to the yard is to call +1 508 555 0184 and tell us the hull number, the plate (best guess), and the symptom. The longer route is the form on the yard page. We answer either way inside two business hours.
