Your Boat's Wiring, Finally Documented Like Equipment
Most boat fires start with wiring — and it's rarely one dramatic failure, it's a chafed wire nobody could see. Every other system on board gets a manual, a name tag, a service record and a signed-off scope before anyone touches it. Your wiring usually gets none of the four — until now.
Maurice Marine is a Melbourne-based marine electrician working on-site across Melbourne, coastal Victoria and Australia-wide. We draft, label, review and plan boat refits — the documentation most boats' wiring has never had.
Leisure boat owners come to us for paperwork an insurer, surveyor or buyer will actually accept — before or after a refit. Commercial fishing operators come to us for one documented package that meets NSCV, not four separate quotes and a guess. Either way, it starts with one on-site survey of your boat.
Our Services
Four Services, One Idea: Treat Wiring Like Equipment
A manual, a name tag, a service record and a signed-off scope — the four things every other system on your boat already has.
Electrical Drafting
The manual your wiring never got. An as-built electrical schematic calculated for your boat's actual runs and loads — detailed CAD electrical schematics for accurate records, safe upgrades and clearer maintenance.
System Labelling
The name tag every other system on board already wears. Professional, marine‑grade labels applied to wires, panels and components so circuits are simple to identify and repair.
Standards Review
The service record, checked against the standard. An independent assessment of your electrical system against AS/NZS 3004, item by item — not one line in a general survey.
Upgrade Planning
The signed-off scope before anyone touches it. Practical phased plans to manage complex electrical upgrades with transparent costs and timelines.
Additional Services
Expert add‑ons to help your boat meet safety and insurance requirements — useful for surveys, sales, refits and NSCV/AMSA compliance on commercial vessels.
Electrical Schematic Updates
Revise existing schematics to reflect modifications so your documentation stays accurate and compliant.
- Include new batteries, solar, inverters or electronic upgrades.
- On‑site verification to prevent discrepancies between drawings and reality.
- Layered before/after outputs for easy future upgrades.
Certification & Documentation
Detailed review and compliance reporting for electrical schematics, prepared for sales, insurance and survey purposes.
- Signed report and detailed compliance documentation for insurers and surveyors.
- Detailed recommendations and remedial actions.
- Expedited options for vessel sales or refit deadlines.
Commercial Fishing Vessel Documentation
Electrical schematics and labelling scoped for working boats, supporting AMSA and NSCV survey requirements.
- Refrigeration, ice-making and deck machinery circuits.
- VHF/HF radio, EPIRB and navigation/comms circuits.
- Multi-engine and genset configurations.

Engineering Discipline, Not Just a Multimeter
Twenty-plus years in electrical protection, switchgear compliance and grid automation — before becoming an ABYC Certified Marine Electrician in 2025.
Maurice Marine brings that same standard-first discipline to boat electrical systems: calculate before building, document once built, check against a standard afterwards — rather than relying on memory and judgement.
Bassem Maurice — ABYC Certified Marine Electrician
We focus on clear, usable deliverables: editable CAD schematics, cross‑referenced labelling, and concise compliance reports that surveyors and insurers accept. We work with owners, brokers, refit yards and commercial fishing operators to reduce downtime and protect vessel value.
"Bassem drew up the full electrical schematics for my boat, including every modification I'd made — and in the process caught an earthing issue in my inverter setup that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. Very happy with the result; I wouldn't hesitate to use Maurice Marine again."
