You’re not dealing with intermittent radar failures or dead fishfinders when you’re 20 miles offshore. Your GPS actually guides you through the busy waters between Great River and Fire Island without glitching. Your marine audio system delivers crystal-clear sound whether you’re anchored in the Great South Bay or cruising past the Hamptons.
That’s what happens when certified technicians handle your installation instead of someone who thinks marine wiring is the same as house wiring. Your boat’s electronics integrate seamlessly, your systems communicate properly, and everything works when you flip the switch.
You get back to what you bought the boat for—enjoying time on the water without worrying about whether your equipment will fail when you need it most.
We understand what Great River Station boat owners face on Long Island waters. We’ve been installing and servicing marine electronics for owners who dock along the Connetquot River and cruise the Great South Bay.
Our technicians hold NMEA certifications and factory authorizations with every major marine electronics manufacturer. We’re not the guys who learned electronics from YouTube videos—we’re ABYC certified electricians who understand the difference between proper marine wiring and the shortcuts that leave you stranded.
When you’re navigating the busy channels between Fire Island and the mainland, or fishing the productive waters off Montauk, you need electronics installed by people who understand both the equipment and the environment. That’s exactly what you get with us.
We start with a consultation on your boat to understand your specific needs and existing systems. Whether you’re adding a new chartplotter, upgrading your fishfinder, or installing a complete audio system, we map out the installation to integrate properly with what you already have.
Next comes the technical work—running properly sized marine-grade wiring, mounting equipment in optimal locations, and connecting everything according to NMEA standards. We don’t take shortcuts with crimp connections or use automotive wire where marine wire belongs.
Before we consider the job complete, we test every system individually and as an integrated network. Your GPS talks to your autopilot, your fishfinder shares waypoints with your chartplotter, and your VHF radio connects to your navigation system for emergency functions. You’ll receive a thorough walkthrough of your new systems, and we provide ongoing support for any questions that come up once you’re on the water.

Our marine electronics services cover everything from basic fishfinder installation to complex multi-display navigation systems. We handle custom marine audio integration, radar installation, autopilot systems, and all the electrical work that connects everything together.
For Great River Station boaters, we understand the specific challenges of Long Island waters. The busy traffic in and out of Fire Island requires reliable radar and AIS systems. The productive fishing grounds from Montauk to the North Shore demand fishfinders and GPS that work in all conditions. The social boating culture here means your audio system needs to deliver whether you’re entertaining at anchor or cruising to a waterfront restaurant.
We also provide custom fabrication services for mounting solutions, dash modifications, and electrical panel upgrades. Every installation is backed by manufacturer warranties, and we’re authorized for warranty service on all major brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and others.
Installation time depends on the complexity of your project, but most single-unit installations like fishfinders or GPS units take 4-6 hours including proper wiring and testing. Complete system installations with multiple displays, radar, and audio integration typically require 1-3 days.
We don’t rush installations because proper marine wiring and system integration can’t be hurried. Every connection needs to be waterproof, every wire needs to be properly routed and secured, and every system needs to be tested thoroughly before we consider the job complete.
We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the process. Most of our Great River Station customers prefer to schedule installations during weekdays when they’re not planning to use their boats.
Yes, we install and service all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Lowrance, Furuno, and others. Our technicians hold factory certifications and stay current with the latest technology from each manufacturer.
We’re also authorized warranty service centers for most major brands, which means if you have an issue covered under warranty, we can handle the repair without sending your equipment away. This saves you time and keeps you on the water.
Whether you’re loyal to a specific brand or want recommendations based on your boating style and budget, we’ll work with whatever equipment best meets your needs. We focus on proper installation and integration regardless of the brand mix on your boat.
Absolutely. Most of our installations involve integrating new equipment with existing systems, and proper integration is where our NMEA certification really matters. Modern marine electronics are designed to share data, but only when connected correctly.
We can connect your new GPS to your existing autopilot, link your fishfinder to your chartplotter for seamless waypoint sharing, and integrate your VHF radio with your navigation system for DSC emergency functions. The key is understanding the NMEA protocols and wiring standards that make this communication possible.
Before starting any installation, we evaluate your existing systems to determine what integration options are available. Sometimes older equipment has limitations, but we’ll explain your options and help you decide whether upgrading certain components makes sense for better overall system performance.
Marine electronics installation requires specialized knowledge of ABYC electrical standards, NMEA communication protocols, and the unique challenges of the marine environment. Marine-grade wiring, connectors, and installation techniques are completely different from automotive work.
The marine environment is incredibly harsh on electronics. Salt air, moisture, vibration, and temperature changes all affect how equipment performs and lasts. Proper marine installation uses tinned copper wire, waterproof connections, and mounting techniques that account for the boat’s movement and flexing.
Additionally, marine electronics need to integrate with navigation, communication, and safety systems in ways that automotive electronics don’t. Your GPS needs to communicate with your autopilot, your VHF radio needs to connect to your chartplotter for emergency functions, and everything needs to work reliably when you’re miles from shore. This requires understanding NMEA standards and proper system integration—skills that automotive technicians simply don’t have.
Yes, we provide mobile installation services throughout the Great River Station area and surrounding Long Island locations. We can come to your dock, marina, or wherever your boat is located to perform installations and service.
Mobile service is particularly convenient for Great River Station boat owners since many keep their boats at private docks along the Connetquot River or at local marinas. We bring all necessary tools and equipment to your location, and our installation van is equipped to handle everything from simple fishfinder installations to complex multi-system projects.
For extensive installations requiring fabrication work, we also have a fully equipped shop facility. We’ll discuss the best approach during our initial consultation based on your specific project requirements and location.
We provide a comprehensive warranty on all installation work, separate from the manufacturer’s equipment warranty. Our installation warranty covers all wiring, connections, mounting, and integration work for two years from completion.
This means if you experience any issues related to our installation—loose connections, water intrusion at mounting points, or integration problems—we’ll return to fix it at no charge. We stand behind our work because we use proper marine installation techniques and quality materials.
Additionally, since we’re authorized service centers for major brands, we can handle manufacturer warranty claims directly. This gives you single-point service for both equipment and installation issues, making warranty service much more convenient than dealing with multiple vendors.
