Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our marine electrical services in Darwin.

Are you licensed to do electrical work in the Northern Territory?

Yes. Apparent Power NT holds NT Electrical Contractor Licence C 4483, issued by the NT Electrical Workers and Contractors Licensing Board. All work is performed by licensed electricians to Australian standards.

Do you work on commercial and surveyed vessels?

Yes. We specialise in electrical work for surveyed commercial vessels operating in Darwin Harbour and NT coastal waters, including compliance upgrades, system design, emergency repairs, and ongoing servicing contracts to meet AMSA standards.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency callouts?

Yes. We're available around the clock for marine electrical emergencies. If your vessel is broken down or you have an urgent electrical fault, call us immediately on 0475 864 897.

What areas do you service?

We service Darwin, Palmerston, Darwin Harbour, Bynoe Harbour, Beagle Gulf, Cox Peninsula, Bathurst Island, and NT coastal waters. We come to your vessel, marina, or boatyard.

Can you install Victron systems?

Yes. We are experienced installers of Victron Energy products including battery monitors, inverter/chargers, MPPT solar regulators, and DC-DC chargers. We engineer the full system — not just swap components.

Do you work on trailer boats and tinnies?

Absolutely. From simple bilge pump wiring to full rewires on centre consoles and offshore boats, we work on all sizes. We understand what Top End conditions do to marine electrical systems.

Can you do lithium battery upgrades?

Yes. We install lithium battery systems from Enerdrive, Invicta, Delkor and other trusted brands. We assess your vessel's power needs and design a system that works reliably in NT's heat and salt conditions.

Do you supply parts or just labour?

Both. We supply and install marine-grade components from trusted brands including Victron, Garmin, Furuno, Lowrance, Redarc, Enerdrive, Blue Sea Systems and more. We source quality gear and stand behind what we install.

Do you service boats at the marina?

Yes. We're mobile and come to you — whether your vessel is at Cullen Bay Marina, Frances Bay, or on a trailer at your property. No need to move your boat to a workshop.
