Smarter Electrical Systems for Modern Cruising
Running a fully electric galley puts new demands on a boat’s power system. Whether or not you’re installing Curo, Omega Marine can help you design and upgrade the electrical backbone of your vessel.
With years of liveaboard experience — from UK canal boats to a 39-foot bluewater ketch — we’ve seen what works, what fails, and how to make systems reliable in real cruising conditions.
