You’re not dealing with intermittent radar or dead fishfinders when you’re ten miles offshore. Your GPS shows exactly where you are, your stereo connects instantly, and your fishfinder actually finds fish.
That’s what happens when marine electronics are installed right the first time. No callbacks, no troubleshooting sessions, no wondering if your equipment will work when conditions get rough.
Your investment in quality electronics pays off every time you head out. Clean installations, proper wiring, and systems that integrate seamlessly so you can focus on what you came out here to do.
We’ve been serving Old Field’s boating community with the kind of expertise that comes from understanding both the technical side and the practical reality of boating on Long Island Sound.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in installations that work reliably, wiring that won’t corrode, and systems that integrate properly the first time.
Old Field boaters deal with unique challenges – from the tidal changes around the lighthouse to the varying depths of the Sound. We install electronics with these local conditions in mind, ensuring your equipment performs when and where you need it most.
First, we assess your current setup and discuss what you actually need based on how you use your boat. No overselling, no generic packages – just honest recommendations for your specific situation.
Next, we plan the installation with proper wire routing, power distribution, and integration points. This planning phase prevents the problems that create callbacks and frustrated customers later.
The installation itself follows marine-grade standards with proper connections, appropriate gauge wiring, and galvanic corrosion prevention. We test everything thoroughly before considering the job complete, and we walk you through the operation of your new systems so you’re confident using them.

Our marine electronics installation includes GPS and navigation systems, fishfinder and sonar installation, marine stereo and audio systems, VHF radio setup, and custom wiring solutions. We handle everything from single-component additions to complete electronics packages.
Long Island’s marine environment demands specific installation techniques. Salt air, moisture, and vibration destroy improperly installed electronics quickly. We use marine-grade connections, appropriate sealants, and proper grounding techniques that protect your investment.
Old Field’s proximity to the Connecticut shore means you’re often dealing with heavy boat traffic and changing weather conditions. Your electronics need to perform reliably in these situations, which is why we focus on proven brands like Garmin, Raymarine, and Furuno with installation practices that ensure long-term reliability.
Most single-component installations like a GPS or fishfinder take 4-6 hours when done properly. This includes planning the wire routing, making proper connections, and testing everything thoroughly.
Complete electronics packages with multiple components typically require 1-2 days. The time depends on your boat’s existing wiring, the complexity of integration between systems, and whether custom mounting or fabrication is needed.
We don’t rush installations because shortcuts create problems later. You’re better off having the work done right once than dealing with intermittent issues or having to redo poor installation work.
We primarily work with Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, and Simrad because these brands offer reliable performance and good long-term support. These manufacturers design their equipment specifically for marine environments and provide the integration capabilities most boaters need.
For marine stereo systems, we install Fusion, JL Audio Marine, and similar marine-grade audio equipment. Regular car audio components don’t survive in marine environments, so we only use equipment designed for boats.
Brand selection depends on your specific needs, budget, and how the equipment needs to integrate with your existing systems. We’ll recommend what actually makes sense for your situation rather than pushing whatever has the highest markup.
Yes, integration is a key part of what we do. Modern marine electronics use NMEA protocols that allow different components to share data and work together seamlessly.
Your GPS can share position data with your fishfinder, your VHF radio can display GPS coordinates, and your autopilot can follow routes from your chartplotter. Proper integration eliminates the need to enter the same information multiple times and gives you better overall functionality.
Integration requires understanding both the technical capabilities and the practical workflow of how you use your boat. We set up systems so they work the way you actually operate your vessel, not just according to the manual.
We provide mobile installation services for customers in Old Field and throughout the Long Island area. This is particularly valuable for larger boats that can’t easily be transported or when you need repairs at your dock or mooring.
Mobile service includes the same quality installation and testing as shop-based work. We bring the necessary tools, materials, and expertise to complete installations properly regardless of location.
Some complex installations or fabrication work may require shop facilities, but most standard electronics installations can be completed on-site. We’ll assess your specific needs and recommend the best approach for your situation.
Our installation work is warrantied for one year, covering both labor and any installation-related issues that arise. This covers problems with connections, wiring, or mounting that result from our installation work.
The electronics themselves carry manufacturer warranties that we’ll help you navigate if issues arise. We maintain relationships with the manufacturers we work with, which helps when warranty claims or technical support is needed.
We stand behind our installation work because we do it right the first time. Most installation problems stem from poor connections, inadequate wire gauge, or improper grounding – issues that don’t occur when the work is done to marine standards from the start.
Custom marine wiring requires understanding both electrical principles and marine-specific requirements like galvanic corrosion prevention, proper gauge selection for voltage drop, and waterproof connections.
We use marine-grade wire, proper heat-shrink connections, and appropriate circuit protection for every installation. Wire routing follows best practices to avoid chafe points and areas where moisture can accumulate.
Complex electrical work often involves upgrading power distribution panels, adding dedicated circuits for high-draw equipment, or integrating multiple systems. We have the electrical background and marine experience to handle these installations safely and reliably.
