Electrical reliability for Hobe Sound's lift and dock boats
A Hobe Sound boat might run a few weekends a month and sit the rest. Down here, batteries drain, connections corrode, and a float switch that has not been tested in a year is a quiet risk. New electronics make sense on these boats, but so does a hard look at the power side underneath them.
We drive to your dock, Loblolly Marina, the Hobe Sound Marina area, or a private lift off the Intracoastal, and also meet trailer boats at the public ramp. The drive from Port St. Lucie is 35 to 45 minutes, and since Hobe Sound is outside our no-fee cities, any travel cost is quoted upfront.

My boat sits on a lift. Should I worry about the battery?
Yes. A battery that sits partially discharged loses capacity, and corroded terminals can stop a good battery from starting the motor. Battery and terminal replacement runs $160 – $340.
Can you meet me at the public ramp?
Yes, for trailer boats. For longer installs, your dock or driveway is usually easier.
Do you charge a trip fee for Hobe Sound?
A fee may apply because Hobe Sound is outside our no-fee cities. We quote it upfront.
What if the new electronics will not turn on?
We start with the power side. The diagnostic visit is $250, or $95 flat for Care Plan members.
