Our marine electronics services cover everything from basic fish finder installations to complex integrated systems that control navigation, entertainment, and vessel management from a single interface. We specialize in custom marine audio systems, GPS navigation upgrades, and sophisticated sonar installations that serious anglers depend on. Long Island’s marine environment demands equipment that can handle salt air, moisture, and constant vibration. We select and install only marine-grade components designed for these conditions.

Lower Melville boat owners appreciate our mobile service capability—we can handle installations at your marina, your home dock, or in our facility, whatever works best for your schedule.

How much does marine electronics installation cost in Lower Melville?

Installation costs depend on the complexity of your project and the equipment you’re installing. Basic fish finder installations typically start around $300-500 for labor, while comprehensive navigation and entertainment systems can range from $2,000-8,000+ depending on the scope. We provide detailed upfront quotes that include all labor, materials, and any custom fabrication work needed. Our NMEA certified technicians charge $140 per hour with a 4-hour minimum, which reflects the professional-grade service and certifications we bring to every project. Unlike shops that give vague estimates and surprise you with extras, you’ll know exactly what your project costs before we start work.

Which marine electronics brands do you install and service?

We’re factory authorized for all major marine electronics manufacturers including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno, and Lowrance. This authorization means we can perform warranty work, access technical support directly from manufacturers, and ensure you’re getting genuine products with full factory backing. We also work with premium marine audio brands and specialty equipment for serious offshore fishermen. Our team stays current with the latest technology releases and can recommend the best equipment for your specific boating style and budget. Whether you want the newest chart plotter with integrated sonar or a custom audio system that delivers concert-quality sound, we have the expertise and vendor relationships to make it happen.

Do you offer mobile marine electronics installation services?

Yes, we provide mobile installation services throughout Lower Melville and the greater Long Island area. Our fully equipped service vehicles allow us to handle most installations right at your marina slip or home dock, saving you the hassle of trailering your boat to a shop. Mobile service works well for navigation upgrades, fish finder installations, and audio system work. For complex projects requiring custom fabrication or extensive electrical work, we may recommend bringing your boat to our facility where we have access to specialized tools and workspace. We’ll discuss the best approach during your initial consultation and work around your schedule and preferences.

How long does a typical marine electronics installation take?

Installation time varies significantly based on the complexity of your project. A simple fish finder or GPS installation typically takes 4-6 hours, while comprehensive navigation and entertainment systems can require 2-5 days depending on custom fabrication needs and system integration requirements. We provide realistic time estimates upfront and keep you informed throughout the process. Unlike shops that promise unrealistic timelines and then drag projects out, we prefer to under-promise and over-deliver. Complex installations require time to do properly—rushing leads to the kind of shoddy work you’ve probably experienced elsewhere. We’d rather take the time needed to ensure everything works perfectly from day one.

What warranty do you provide on marine electronics installations?

All equipment comes with full manufacturer warranties, and we provide a comprehensive warranty on our installation workmanship. This covers all connections, wiring, mounting, and integration work we perform. If any installation-related issues arise, we’ll return to make it right at no charge. Our NMEA certifications and factory authorizations mean manufacturers will honor warranties on equipment we install, which isn’t always the case with uncertified installers. We also maintain detailed records of every installation, including photos of connections and wiring routes, so we can quickly troubleshoot any issues that might arise down the road. This professional documentation is something most shops don’t provide but proves invaluable if service is ever needed.

Can you integrate new electronics with my existing marine systems?

Absolutely. System integration is one of our specialties, and it’s where our NMEA certifications and technical expertise really matter. Modern marine electronics are designed to share data and work together, but proper integration requires understanding NMEA 2000 networks, CAN bus systems, and manufacturer-specific protocols. We can integrate new chart plotters with existing autopilots, connect fish finders to navigation displays, and create custom dashboards that control multiple systems from a single interface. This kind of integration work requires both technical knowledge and experience with different manufacturers’ systems. We’ll evaluate your existing equipment during the consultation and explain exactly how new additions will integrate with what you already have installed.
