Power Marine centre has been in the marine electrical equipment business for over 20 years. Once a manufacturer of marine pedestals, the company is now focused on the sale, design and distribution of high quality weatherproof electrical equipment manufactured by Marina Electrical Equipment (MEE)

What is a power pedestal?
A power pedestal is a structure that contains utility devices that can supply any of the following services such as electricity, water, communications and lighting to recreational equipment (boats, RV’s ) located in marinas, campgrounds or private properties.

Safety Equipment

Established in 2001, Power Marine Centre’s growth is charted by owner Terry Flanigan. An electrician by trade with over 47 years of experience, Flanigan wanted to build a product that featured ease of installation and low maintenance. In the year 2017, Power Marine Centre became the authorized Canadian dealer of Marina Electrical Equipment (MEE), manufacturer of stainless steel and polycarbonate power pedestals, unit substations, panel boards, wire and cable and solid state electric monitoring devices.

Power Marine Centre have supplied power pedestals to many marinas across North America, the Caribbean, network of electrical distributors as well as private home owners.

What advantages does a power pedestal provide and why would I want to spend that much money on them?
First of all, the pedestal provides a safe and tidy one piece unit that consolidates all the utilities in one enclosure. The pedestal is a weatherproof station that protects the users from shock hazards as well as providing area lighting. The pedestal typically services 4 recreational vehicles being boats or RV’s. The unit requires very low maintenance which over time provides a cost savings for upkeep. With rising insurance costs, the pedestal also provides a confidence to insurance companies that liabilities are kept to a minimum.

Is there any way that I can recover any of the cost of buying the pedestal?
There are ways of recovering some of the costs such as through electricity metering, water metering as also selling advertisements on the units to your local merchants and retailers.

Are the pedestals approved and certified?
Each pedestal is individually tested and certified. Intertek – ETL Listed, conforms to Underwriters Laboratories (ULC) standards which provides guidelines to ensure that all safety aspects are followed. It is also recognized by Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

Are the pedestals easy to install?
The base plate of the pedestal is approximately 2 inches high and removable. Holes are cut into the base plate for the incoming utilities. The base plate is then fastened to the dock or concrete foundation typically using lag screws or hex bolts into expansion anchors. The upper portion of the pedestal sits over the base plate and is fastened together with 4 stainless steel machine screws. Together the combined thickness of the mounting base and upper pedestal is nominally 1/2″ thick.

What is the warranty on the pedestal?
The pedestal enclosure itself has a one year limited warranty. The components or devices built into the unit have a standard one year manufacturer’s warranty.
