Today, many boats rely heavily on electronics for everything from navigation and communications to fish finders or onboard entertainment systems.

If you enjoy working with electronics, you could work for a company manufacturing components for all kinds of boats from commercial fishing vessels to maxi yachts — and the range of electronic components is huge.

You could be making HF and VHF antennas, transceivers, AM/FM radios, autopilots, marine radars, GPS systems, depth sounders, chart plotters, steering systems, radar systems, or even solar panels. You could also make specialised marine stereo and audio systems and waterproof speakers for luxury cruisers or yachts.

With electronics as a trade, you could use your skills while travelling and working for companies all over the world.
