Jiffy, I'm not convinced an expert marine electrician would be as great as you'd think, given the vast quantity of crap that passes for "marine electrics" on board a boat these days.

Microwave ovens, airconditioners, plasma TVs, Raymarine electronics, Humminbird GPS's... all owned by someone who has no clue what they've actually bought - they just want it working - yesterday!!

"Whadya mean you can't hook my GPS up to the Microwave?? Useless b*&#^$y electricians..."
