    Boat How-To Electrics 101 Video Course with Nigel Calder

    You want to understand your boat's electrical system? GET THIS COURSE NOW

    Boat electrics is not rocket science...but it still has to be DONE RIGHT! Electrical systems on boats have become more and more complex over recent years. Even moderately equipped boats today rely completely on their electrical system. A loss of power can lead to an emergency at sea. (Or do you still have a sextant and all nautical almanacs on board?) Unfortunately, many owners have only a vague understanding of their boat's electrical system. Or, even worse: They think they know how to install a system and end up making damaging mistakes, and teach others these mistakes in blogs or on YouTube.

    TheSailingChannel.TV is an official distributor of Boat How-To videos.
