Service pedestals provide electricity and water for boats and yachts in marinas and ports. They are important pontoon accessories for larger harbours, guest marinas and floating pontoon systems where vessels need convenient access to power and water.
Top Marine pedestals can also support pontoon lighting, making the pontoon safer and easier to use in the dark.
Suitable for different pontoon types
Top Marine pedestals work with heavy duty pontoons, timber pontoons with concrete floats and boat pontoons with plastic floats.
For heavy duty pontoons, plan the pedestal locations before production. Top Marine includes cable and water ducts during manufacturing, so later changes are usually difficult and may require major modifications.
For timber pontoons with concrete floats and boat pontoons with plastic floats, you can often add pedestals later, depending on the pontoon structure, cable routing and marina layout.
How many outlets do you need?
The right number of pedestals depends on the marina layout, berth arrangement, vessel size and how often boat owners need electricity and water.
Before choosing a model, consider how many vessels will use it and how many electrical outlets are needed. Top Marine offers pedestal models with 2, 4 or 6 outlets.
The pedestals can include:
- electricity and water supply for boats and yachts;
- pontoon lighting for use in the dark;
- weatherproof aluminium housing;
- plastic socket covers;
- 16 A to 250 A three-phase sockets;
- lockable sockets;
- optional smart card system.
Planning electricity, water and lighting
Plan electricity, water and lighting together with the pontoon layout, berth positions, vessel sizes and user needs. This is especially important in larger marinas, where cable and water routes affect the whole pontoon system.
You can plan different pontoon layouts in our web application and see the estimated cost of the project. The Top Marine web app guide explains how to use the tool.
If you work in marina design, harbour engineering or architecture, you can download Top Marine product models from the ProdLib catalogue. You can also read the ProdLib guide.
