You’re not looking for another headache on the water. You want marine electronics that integrate properly, perform reliably, and actually enhance your boating experience instead of creating new problems.
When your GPS talks to your autopilot, your fishfinder displays on your main screen, and your audio system delivers crystal-clear sound even in rough seas, that’s when you know the installation was done right. No more wondering if that expensive radar will work when you need it most, or dealing with audio that cuts out every time you hit a wave.
Professional marine electronics installation means your systems work together as they were designed to, your warranties stay intact, and you spend more time enjoying the water instead of troubleshooting equipment failures.
We serve boat and yacht owners throughout Setauket and the greater Long Island area who refuse to settle for amateur installation work. We understand that your vessel represents a significant investment, and every electronic component needs to be installed with the precision and care it deserves.
Located in Port Jefferson Station, our facility was built specifically to serve owners of high-value marine assets. We’ve seen too many expensive installations fail because of poor workmanship, inadequate waterproofing, or installers who simply don’t understand the marine environment.
The boating community around Setauket, Port Jefferson, and the North Shore knows that proper marine electronics installation isn’t just about making things work—it’s about making them work reliably for years to come, even when facing the harsh conditions that Long Island Sound can deliver.
We start with a detailed consultation at your boat or our facility to understand exactly what you want to achieve. Whether you’re upgrading your fishfinder for better offshore performance or installing a complete entertainment system for family cruising, we map out the installation before any work begins.
Every wire is properly sized, every connection is waterproofed to marine standards, and every component is mounted securely to withstand the vibration and movement that comes with boating. We don’t rush the process because we know that shortcuts in marine electronics installation lead to expensive failures down the road.
Before we consider the job complete, we test every system individually and then verify that all components communicate properly with each other. You’ll receive hands-on training so you can confidently operate your new equipment, and we provide clear documentation of the installation for warranty and future service needs.

Our marine electronics services cover everything from basic stereo upgrades to complex navigation system installations. We handle boat stereos and audio systems, custom marine audio integration, navigation and GPS systems installation, custom wiring and electrical work, and fishfinder and sonar installation.
Long Island’s marine environment presents unique challenges that many installers simply don’t understand. Salt air, constant moisture, temperature fluctuations, and the vibration from engines and waves all take their toll on electronic equipment. That’s why we use only marine-grade components and follow strict waterproofing protocols on every installation.
For Setauket boat owners, this attention to detail means your electronics will continue performing reliably whether you’re fishing the reefs off Montauk, cruising Long Island Sound, or navigating the busy waters around Port Jefferson. We’ve worked on everything from weekend fishing boats to luxury yachts, and every installation receives the same level of care and precision.
Marine electronics installation costs vary significantly based on the complexity of your system and the equipment you choose. A basic fishfinder installation might run $300-500, while a complete navigation and entertainment system can range from $2,000-10,000 or more for luxury installations.
The real question isn’t the upfront cost—it’s the cost of doing it wrong. We’ve seen boat owners spend $30,000 on equipment only to have it fail because of poor installation work. When you factor in the cost of your equipment, potential warranty issues, and the frustration of systems that don’t work properly, professional installation is always the more economical choice.
We provide detailed estimates before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect. Most boat owners find that proper installation actually saves money in the long run by preventing equipment failures and avoiding costly re-work.
Yes, we offer mobile marine electronics installation services throughout the Setauket area and can work on your boat whether it’s at your dock, in a slip, or at a local marina. Many of our installations are completed while boats remain in the water, which is more convenient for boat owners and often necessary for larger vessels.
Mobile installation works particularly well for GPS units, fishfinders, stereo systems, and radar installations. For more complex electrical work or installations requiring significant access to wiring runs, we may recommend bringing your boat to our facility where we have better access to tools and workspace.
We’ll assess your specific installation requirements during our initial consultation and recommend the best approach. Our goal is to make the process as convenient as possible while ensuring the quality of work isn’t compromised.
Professional marine electronics installation should not void your boat’s warranty when performed correctly. The key is following proper installation procedures, using marine-grade components, and maintaining the integrity of your boat’s electrical system.
We’re familiar with warranty requirements from major boat manufacturers and follow all applicable standards, including ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) guidelines for marine electrical work. We document our installations thoroughly and can provide the paperwork needed to support any warranty claims.
Amateur installation work, on the other hand, can definitely void warranties—especially if improper wiring causes electrical problems or if mounting holes are drilled in the wrong locations. That’s why many boat owners choose professional installation even for equipment they purchased elsewhere.
Installation timeframes depend on the complexity of your project. A simple fishfinder or GPS unit might be completed in 2-4 hours, while a comprehensive navigation and entertainment system can take several days to complete properly.
We don’t rush installations because marine electronics require careful attention to waterproofing, proper wire routing, and system integration. It’s better to take the time to do it right than to have equipment fail when you’re 20 miles offshore.
For larger projects, we’ll provide a realistic timeline during our initial consultation and keep you updated on progress. We understand that your boat time is valuable, so we work efficiently while maintaining our quality standards. Most installations can be scheduled to minimize disruption to your boating season.
Yes, we provide service and repair for marine electronics regardless of who performed the original installation. We’ve built a reputation in the Setauket and Long Island marine community for being able to diagnose and fix problems that other shops can’t resolve.
Many of our service calls involve fixing issues created by poor installation work—problems like intermittent connections, water damage from inadequate sealing, or systems that were never properly integrated. We can often salvage equipment that appears to be failing when the real issue is installation quality.
Our diagnostic approach focuses on understanding how all your systems work together, not just fixing individual components. This comprehensive approach often reveals underlying problems that could cause future failures, saving you money and frustration in the long run.
We work with all major marine electronics manufacturers including Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, Lowrance, and others. Rather than pushing specific brands, we recommend equipment based on your actual needs, budget, and how you use your boat.
For example, serious offshore fishermen have different requirements than weekend cruisers, and a boat used primarily in Long Island Sound doesn’t need the same navigation capabilities as one crossing to Block Island regularly. We’ll help you choose equipment that matches your boating style without paying for features you’ll never use.
Our experience with different brands also means we understand the strengths and limitations of each manufacturer’s products. We can guide you toward equipment that will integrate well with your existing systems and provide reliable performance in the marine environment around Setauket and Long Island.
