Murphy Marine Electric

Murphy Marine Electric completed a SUBSTANTIAL makeover on my 2004 Mako 252cc during summer 2025. This was a full redo - not a small project by any means. If you know anything about this generation of Mako, it’s that they are a wiring nightmare. So bad that it was almost funny - the underside of the console looked like a giant birds nest (look at the pictures). Following the completion of the Suzuki repower, the Mako went to Alex’s shop and was fully deconstructed - all wiring throughout the boat was ripped out, all electronics, pumps, etc. - the boat was a compete shell/blank canvas.

We added all new wiring throughout that is labeled and thus very easy to work on, a custom access panel/hatch so that every wire under the console is now easily accessible from inside the console, new Garmin electronics, a massive JL audio system, new batteries (and a 4th battery to support the JLs), electric reel outlet, spreader lights, nav lights, Taco outrigger bases with 22ft outriggers, new interior lighting, a fully custom acrylic dash, Gemlux cup holders and rod/cup holder combos, new fresh water pump and 15 gal. Fresh water tank, redundant bilge pumps with float switches, thru-hull transducer, etc. The list goes on. The whole idea was to build a boat that could fish hard and also be fun at the sandbar. It’s been to the Bahamas 5 times since August and feels and looks like an entirely new boat. People are always commenting on the boat and I’m extremely proud of it.

As any experienced boater knows, the projects are ongoing. Alex has been extremely supportive in coordinating warranty work with Garmin and JL and he also was very responsive/attentive to a few tweaks we needed to make when we splashed the boat last summer (which, btw, required Alex to work on the boat on a Saturday) and then about 1 month later after I put approx 100 hours on the boat and had a better understanding on what else needed adjustment. I am very particular and Alex was patient and worked with me throughout the process.

Before undertaking this project, I shopped around quite a bit in the Stuart, fort Pierce, and Palm beach areas. I am very happy with my decision. This Mako has been in my family for more than 15 years and I really appreciate the work Alex and his team did. It’s more than a boat to me and it will never be sold.

If you’re looking for a high quality and reliable marine electrician at a fair price - for small or big projects (like mine) - then I highly recommend Murphy Marine Electric. All of my future electric work, on my Mako or any other boat, will be handled by Murphy Marine Electric.

Great service !

Courteous, informational, clean, prompt. I have already use this service again on my boat.
