LH Electronics is based in Plymouth, UK, a city with strong links to marine engineering, boatbuilding and life on the water.

The idea began with a bare-hull project boat and an ageing two-stroke engine. During the rebuild, it became clear that modernising the helm was not just about replacing old analogue gauges with a screen. As an engine builder, I wanted to see more of what the engine was doing, but there was only so much space on the dash for extra gauges, warning lights and switches.

That is where the idea for LH Electronics started: a cleaner digital helm system that could bring useful engine information, warnings and smart features together in one place.

The aim is not to force every boat away from analogue. For many older boats, especially those in need of some TLC, tired gauges and crowded wiring create a natural opportunity to upgrade. LH Electronics is being developed to give boat owners a practical route to modernise without replacing the whole engine package, while also opening the door to useful features seldom seen on smaller boats.

The system is being developed hands-on in my own workshop, with multiple iterations tested on my own boat to work through bugs, refine the design and polish the product. The goal is simple: to build something reliable, useful and well-finished enough that I would be proud to put my name on it.

LH Electronics is focused on product performance, reliability and customer satisfaction, while keeping installation, useful diagnostics, clean design, affordability and retrofit compatibility in mind.

The marine dashboard range is the first step. Longer term, LH Electronics may also expand into other smart control and monitoring systems, including campervan control panels and distributed control products, using the same practical approach: cleaner wiring, clearer information and smarter control where it is genuinely useful.
