FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the requirements for a dock in Florida?
Florida requires docks to follow strict electrical codes designed to prevent shock hazards and water damage. This includes GFCI protection, proper grounding, marine-grade wiring, weatherproof enclosures, and panels installed above designated flood levels. Our team ensures every installation meets or exceeds these standards.
Do I need GFCI protection on my boat dock?
Yes. Florida code requires GFCI protection anywhere electricity is within reach of water. GFCIs dramatically reduce the risk of electric shock and electric shock drowning. We test, repair, and install GFCIs to ensure your dock stays fully protected.
Can you run new electricity to a dock that doesn’t currently have power?
Absolutely. We handle the full installation, including panel upgrades (if needed), trenching, marine-grade conduit, permits, and hookup at the dock. Every step is done to code and designed to withstand salt, splash, and Florida weather.
How long does boat dock electrical work usually take?
Repairs can often be completed the same day. Full rewiring, panel upgrades, or running new service lines typically take between 1–3 days, depending on complexity and tide access. We’ll provide a clear timeline before we begin any work.
Will saltwater damage my dock wiring over time?
Yes, saltwater corrosion is one of the biggest threats to dock wiring. That’s why we use marine-grade cable, weatherproof components, sealed junctions, and corrosion-resistant hardware designed specifically for waterfront environments. Proper installation dramatically extends the life of your system.
Can you install underwater lighting? Is it safe?
Yes, and yes—when it’s done correctly. We install underwater lighting that is fully sealed, low-voltage, and safely integrated with your dock’s electrical system. Professional installation prevents shock hazards and ensures long-term reliability.
How often should I have my dock’s electrical system inspected?
Once a year is ideal, especially before summer boating season. Florida’s salt, humidity, and storms wear out dock components faster than interior systems, so routine inspection helps you catch small issues early.
Can I DIY my boat dock electrical work?
For your safety, we recommend that you don’t. Dock wiring requires specific materials, grounding methods, GFCI placement, and code knowledge that go beyond typical DIY work.
