Sharpe Surveying & Consulting

Sharpe Surveying & Consulting Marine Surveyor and Consultant with over 40 years of experience. SAMS Accredited Marine Surveyor. Serving the greater San Francisco Bay area.

Sharpe Surveying & Consulting is an independent marine surveying and consulting company operating out of Alameda, California. I have been in operation for over 12 years serving the greater San Francisco Bay area and beyond. I strive to provide thorough marine surveys for both prepurchase and insurance underwriting in order to provide the buyer or owner with a complete snapshot of the vessel condit

ion and its compliance with Coast Guard regulations, ABYC and NFPA standards and good marine practice. I conduct unbiased damage marine surveys for insurance underwriters to provide a complete picture to the adjuster in order for them to fairly adjust damage claims. As a consultant to the commercial vessel industry I provide clear information on compliance with Coast Guard regulations and serve as an effective liaison with the Coast Guard and other government entities. I have successfully acted as liaison bringing several vessels into compliance with Coast Guard regulations for certification as passenger carrying vessels. I serve as an expert witness and consultant in admiralty litigation with extensive background in regulatory requirements and enforcement. I look forward to serving you.

Many fires on boats are caused by lack of circuit protection in electrical wiring. Take a look at your batteries and make sure all the small wires connected to the positive terminals have proper fuse protection. There should only be a couple wires there for systems that are always powered like the automatic bilge pump. If your battery charger wiring is attached directly to the batteries make sure there is fuse protection adjacent to the battery for the positive battery charger wires.

If you are purchasing a boat get a marine survey by a current member of SAMS the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors. That way you will know what you are getting into. You will also likely need the survey report for insurance or to be allowed into a marina. But the main purpose is for you to know the condition of the boat.
