Stay safe, navigate with confidence, and find more fish. At TK Marine, we provide professional marine electronics installations, complex fault diagnostics, and complete vessel rewiring.
The harsh New Zealand marine environment is incredibly unforgiving on electrical systems. From our Taupiri workshop, our experienced technicians ensure your technology is perfectly integrated, reliably powered, and built to withstand saltwater and heavy pounding on the waves.

The TK Marine Wiring Standard
A common mistake we see is boats wired with cheap automotive cable and electrical tape—a guaranteed recipe for saltwater corrosion and dangerous short circuits.
We do not cut corners. We exclusively use marine-grade tinned copper wire, fully waterproof adhesive heat-shrink connectors, and properly fused marine switch panels. This meticulous approach guarantees that your electronics will work flawlessly in the harshest offshore conditions.
