Mission

Provide Outstanding Electrical System Support and Service to the Recreational Boating Community – Including Consultation, Repair, and Installation of Marine Electrical & Electronic Systems and Devices, as well as their associated Circuits/Wiring.

Safety – Performance – Reliability – Maintainability… all elements of your boat’s electrical system effectiveness are directly proportional to the quality of design, integration, installation, and maintenance employed. ‘Best industry practices’ exist for the recreational boating community as ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards. These standards define thoroughly developed, specific requirements focused on Safety of Personnel and Catastrophic Damage Risk Mitigation. They also provide the basis for realization of intended onboard equipment performance, reliability over time, and maintainability as faults may occur or new equipment is installed.

OCBI follows ABYC Standards, particularly E11 – AC and DC Electrical Systems on Boats. Coupled with utilization of these best industry practices, long-proven workmanship processes are employed – yielding high quality solutions designed to perform in harsh environments over a long period of time.

The purpose of owning a recreational boat is to enjoy it– not suffer electrical problems when enjoying family time on the lake, having a great day of fishing, or entertaining friends. Our philosophy toward achieving trouble-free electrical system performance is simple: once a circuit is touched, it should never need to be touched again. The same approach is practiced when designing new systems, such as rewiring all or part of the power distribution scheme, and/or adding new equipment to an existing configuration.

Utilizing parts/components and materials designed specifically for the marine environment is obviously important. Boats exist in an environment harsher than automobiles and RV’s – and not just because of moisture. Proper awareness toward hardening against shock, vibration, and temperature cycles is also important.

Most boat wiring problems occur at the terminations; hence, how terminations are made and how wiring is installed is paramount to effective and long-lasting solutions. Proper selection and installation of wire, terminals, splices, harness materials, et al is the beginning. Terminations should actually be made with specified parts utilizing specified tooling performed to specified workmanship processes – all specified as a total solution concurrently (i.e. a MIL-SPEC type approach.)

This approach works to our advantage as well as yours – when we make a termination, we know that the need for a warranty repair is extremely unlikely. Terminations made to our specifications are backed by a lifetime warranty.

TESTIMONIALS

From our top clients
experience

I would like to write a stellar 5 star review of OCB Integration’s services. Bob is completely dependable, reliable and the most competent mechanic that I have had the privilege of being serviced on my 30′ Oday sailboat. He showed up on time and corrected our situation with his expertise. Very personable guy, who appears to be most concerned about getting a job done right and treats his customers with the utmost respect. I would highly recommend him.

Pam Daniel

Bob Archer Is very knowledgeable marine electrician. Others tried to repair, without success, the very intermittent shore power fault. Bob quickly diagnosed the problem. The boat being older had some subpar repairs and electrical installations through the years. After talking through issues and learning about our budget Bob quickly suggested a plan. To stay within our budget he offered options on less critical parts but the important repairs he urged we should not comprise on. I would strongly recommend his services to others.

Lyle Biddinger

Bob Archer’s electrical upgrade on my 24-foot pontoon boat was outstanding. His friendly approach, extensive knowledge, and seamless installation of LED panels transformed the boat’s aesthetic and functionality. I highly recommend Bob for anyone seeking a skilled and personable professional for marine electrical upgrades.

David Trostle

Bob at OCB Integration is absolutely amazing! He is very organized, detail oriented and his work is impeccable! He always answers your calls, questions and concerns and will always give you his honest and professional opinion. There is no second guessing. I will always have OCB Integrations on speed dial anytime I need help with my rental fleet.

Danny Rave

As a fishing guide it is very important to have someone like Bob you can call who goes above and beyond when it comes to quality of work, timeliness, and professionalism. Bob is extremely knowledgeable, meticulous, and does the job right the first time. He follows a higher standard than most marine electronic technicians I have encountered over the years and does the job with the intention of it lasting a long time and doing it RIGHT. 10/10 would recommend.

Clint Williams

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Bob on multiple jobs. If you want your wiring to be 100% right, secured and laid out with a detail that’s second to none, do yourself a favor and give OCB Integration a call. I recommend Bob for every electrical issue on your boat without any hesitation. A+++ experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I encountered a significant electrical short on my sailboat, which resulted in melted battery cables and nearly caused a fire. I reached out to Bob, who promptly arrived at the boat to evaluate the situation. He immediately identified numerous safety standards that had not been adhered to on my 2017 sailboat. Consequently, the vessel required a complete rewire of the main electrical cabling from the batteries. Bob meticulously explained each step of the process and discussed any available options for the updated electrical and charging systems. His punctuality and exceptional workmanship have provided me with peace of mind, knowing that the wiring and circuit breakers are correctly installed. I have unwavering confidence in Bob’s expertise and will certainly seek his assistance with any future marine electrical requirements.
