Marina Power Pedestals
Reliable dockside power, engineered for safety, durability, and long-term marina performance.
What Are Marina Power Pedestals?
Marina power pedestals are fixed electrical distribution units installed along docks and piers to supply shore power to multiple vessels. Unlike onboard shore power equipment, pedestals are part of the marina’s electrical infrastructure and must handle higher load diversity, public access, exposure to saltwater, and frequent connection and disconnection.
A properly designed pedestal system balances electrical capacity, grounding integrity, and physical durability—while remaining intuitive and safe for boaters to use.

Why Marina Power Pedestals Require Specialized
Electrical Design
Marine electrical systems are fundamentally different from residential or commercial installations. Marina power pedestals operate in a corrosive, high-moisture environment where even small installation errors can result in nuisance tripping, premature equipment failure, or serious safety hazards. Unlike typical electrical infrastructure, pedestal systems must account for public access, repeated connection cycles, and long electrical runs exposed to salt air, sun, and tidal movement.
