Pre-Purchase Boat Electrical Survey
"The surveyor already checked the electrical" is the reasonable assumption most buyers make — and the honest answer is that a general pre-purchase survey spends most of its time on the hull and the engine, with electrical often covered in a single line item. That's not a criticism of the surveyor; it's simply not what a general survey is built to do in the time it has.
What a Dedicated Electrical Review Adds
A pre-purchase electrical review from Maurice Marine goes through the boat's electrical system item by item against AS/NZS 3004 — the real failure categories on a boat changing hands are cable routing and segregation, missing as-built records, and circuits that have never actually been tested, not the kind of thing a walk-through catches. For a buyer, that's the difference between finding out about a wiring problem during the sale, when it's negotiable, and finding out afterwards, when it isn't. For a broker, it's a documented, standards-checked report you can put in front of a client with confidence.
