What boat electrical repair costs here.
Mobile marine electrical service in the North Little Rock area starts with a $125 dockside diagnostic that gets credited toward the repair, and most common jobs land between $150 and $500: battery system work $150 to $400, bilge pump circuits $150 to $350, gauge and sender faults $150 to $400, trolling motor wiring $200 to $500, and full accessory rewires $200 to $600. Arkansas River Marine Electric is a mobile marine electrical service serving the Little Rock metro, and those numbers come from the published menu on our cost page rather than a guess over the phone. The truck carries marine-grade wire, terminals, fuses, and common parts, so most faults found are fixed the same visit, at your dock, ramp, or driveway.
Boat electricity is its own trade. Around here, it mostly has to travel.
Arkansas has roughly two hundred thousand registered boats, and the metro’s share lives on trailers, docks, and lifts from the Arkansas River pools to Lake Conway’s comeback. Boats punish wiring in ways cars never do. They vibrate constantly, they live in humidity, and then they sit unused for a month, which is the recipe for corroded connections and drained batteries. Sooner or later that becomes a no-crank at the ramp or a gauge that quits reading, and hauling the boat across town for something a meter could find in the driveway wastes the best part of a weekend.
Arkansas River Marine Electric works the other way around: the truck comes to the boat, the fault gets traced with a meter, and the fix uses marine-grade parts to ABYC wiring standards, priced in writing before the work starts.
Six kinds of boat trouble, one truck.
Electrical troubleshooting
No-crank at the ramp, batteries that keep dying, gauges gone dark, breakers that trip. We trace the fault with a meter before anything gets replaced.
Battery systems
Load testing, parasitic drain hunts, dual-battery setups with switches, onboard chargers, and storage maintainers that keep banks alive between trips.
Mobile dockside service
The truck comes to your dock, slip, ramp, or driveway. Most of central Arkansas is within forty minutes of our North Little Rock base.
Electronics installation
Fish finders and graphs, trolling motor circuits at 12, 24, and 36 volts, stereos, and lighting, wired to manufacturer spec with correct gauge and fusing.
Pumps and lighting
Bilge pumps and float switches wired to work unattended, navigation lights that pass a warden’s look, light bars on proper relays and fuses.
Duck rigs and work boats
Pre-season electrical checkups, mud-rig rewires with sealed marine-grade connections, and club-fleet visits that fix every boat in one trip.
The prices are printed before you call.
The diagnostic fee, the common repair ranges, and what moves each number are all on the cost page. The diagnostic credits toward the repair when you approve the work, and the invoice matches the quote because both come off the same table. The only surprises on a boat should be the fish.
Central Arkansas, town by town, boat by boat.
Cabot runs tournament rigs. Jacksonville and Scott run duck boats. Mayflower and Conway hold the Lake Conway fleet while the lake comes back. Each area page covers the boats a place actually launches and what their electrical work costs.
