Pelatihan pemeliharaan sistem kelistrikan kapal bagi nelayan Desa Sukawali

Abstract

Sistem kelistrikan pada perahu nelayan mendukung pengasutan mesin, penerangan, navigasi, komunikasi, dan keselamatan operasi. Kegiatan PkM ini bertujuan memperkuat pengetahuan dasar, keterampilan pemeriksaan, dan kesadaran keselamatan kelistrikan pada nelayan Desa Sukawali. Program dilaksanakan pada 10 Desember 2025 di Politeknik Pelayaran Banten dan diikuti 20 nelayan pengguna kapal motor kecil. Pendekatan andragogi partisipatif memadukan penyuluhan teori, praktik penggunaan multimeter, pemeriksaan koneksi, terminasi kabel tahan air, pengenalan proteksi arus, dan simulasi penanganan korsleting. Evaluasi menggunakan pre-test/post-test, pengamatan keterampilan, dan indikator kesadaran keselamatan. Kehadiran mencapai 100%; pemahaman dasar kelistrikan meningkat secara deskriptif dari 40% menjadi 85%, keterampilan praktik mandiri mencapai 75%, dan kesadaran keselamatan mencapai 90%. Instrumen item-level, formula skoring, data individual, dan uji inferensial tidak tersedia, sehingga angka tersebut diperlakukan sebagai capaian deskriptif, bukan bukti signifikansi statistik. Program memberikan pengalaman praktis pemeliharaan preventif, sedangkan retensi keterampilan dan perubahan kondisi kelistrikan kapal setelah kegiatan belum dievaluasi.

Electrical systems on fishing boats support engine starting, lighting, navigation, communication, and operational safety. This community service program aimed to strengthen basic knowledge, inspection skills, and electrical-safety awareness among fishers in Sukawali Village. The activity was conducted on 10 December 2025 at Politeknik Pelayaran Banten and involved 20 small-motor-boat fishers. A participatory andragogical approach combined interactive theory, multimeter practice, connection inspection, water-resistant cable termination, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit emergency simulation. Evaluation used pre-test/post-test, practical-skill observation, and safety-awareness indicators. Attendance reached 100%; basic electrical understanding increased descriptively from 40% to 85%, practical inspection skills reached 75%, and safety awareness reached 90%. Item-level instruments, scoring formulas, individual data, and inferential tests were unavailable, so these figures are treated as descriptive program outcomes rather than evidence of statistical significance. The program provided practical exposure to preventive maintenance, while skill retention and post-program changes in onboard electrical conditions remain unevaluated.
