Battery System Service & Replacement
A weak or failing battery is the most common cause of a no-start situation on the water. We test your battery bank, charging circuit, and isolator to find the real culprit rather than just swapping parts. Most battery services are completed dockside in under an hour.

Common Signs You Need Service
Catching electrical problems early on a boat is far more important than on a car — saltwater accelerates corrosion, and a single failed circuit can leave you stranded or create a genuine safety hazard on Jacksonville's busy waterways.
Lights Flickering or Dead:
Intermittent or failed navigation and interior lights point to corroded connections, a failing switch, or a wiring fault. Don't ignore them — running without proper lights is illegal and dangerous.
Engine Won't Crank:
If you turn the key and get a click or silence, the culprit is often a weak battery, a bad solenoid, or a corroded cable — all fast fixes for a marine electrician.
Electronics Resetting or Glitching:
Chartplotters, VHF radios, or fishfinders that reboot randomly usually signal a voltage drop or a grounding issue that will worsen over time.
Burning Smell or Tripped Breakers:
A persistent burning odor or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning of overloaded wiring or a short circuit — stop using that circuit immediately and call for inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does boat electrical repair typically cost in Jacksonville?
Costs vary depending on the scope of work — a battery replacement or simple circuit repair might run $100–$250 in parts and labor, while a more involved rewire or electronics installation will be higher. Run & Gun provides a free quote before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden shop fees or haul-out charges because we come to you.
How do I find reliable boat electronics repair near me in the Jacksonville area?
Searching online is a start, but make sure the technician has hands-on experience with marine-grade systems, not just automotive wiring. Run & Gun's mechanics work on boats across Jacksonville, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra Beach, and the surrounding area daily, so we're familiar with the local marina environments and the corrosion challenges that come with saltwater exposure.
Can you perform marine electrical repair on the water or at my slip?
Yes — that's exactly what we do. Our mobile service is designed for boats that are already in the water, at a dock, or at a ramp. We bring the tools, wire, connectors, and replacement parts needed to complete most marine electrical repair jobs in a single visit without you ever leaving your slip.
How often should I have my boat's electrical system inspected?
For boats used year-round in Jacksonville's saltwater and brackish environments, an annual electrical inspection is a smart baseline. We recommend pairing it with your spring commissioning or fall layup service. If you notice any warning signs — flickering lights, slow cranking, or electronics acting up — don't wait for the annual check; call for a diagnostic visit. Our marine diagnostic services can be combined with an electrical inspection for a thorough seasonal review.
Do you handle both boat electrical repair and diesel engine electrical issues?
Absolutely. Many electrical faults show up as engine problems — bad alternators, faulty glow plug circuits, or corroded starter connections are common culprits. Our team coordinates electrical diagnosis with our diesel engine repair so nothing gets missed when the root cause crosses both systems.
