Hear from Our Customers
Your boat deserves more than a basic installation that might work. You need systems that integrate seamlessly, operate reliably in Long Island waters, and maintain your vessel’s value.
When your marine electronics are installed correctly the first time, you spend more time enjoying the water and less time troubleshooting problems. Professional installation means your GPS guides you safely through local channels, your fishfinder reveals what’s below, and your audio system delivers crystal-clear sound without interference.
The difference shows in every detail—from clean wiring that prevents electrical issues to custom mounting that looks factory-installed. Your electronics work together as a complete system, not a collection of separate devices fighting for power and space.
We bring the same attention to detail we apply to luxury vehicle storage to marine electronics installation. We understand that your boat represents a significant investment, and every component should reflect that level of quality.
Our technicians have spent years working with the marine environment’s unique challenges—from saltwater corrosion to the constant vibration that can destroy inferior installations. We’ve seen what happens when shortcuts are taken, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things right the first time.
Southold’s boating community knows the difference between adequate and exceptional. When you’re navigating the waters around Orient Point or heading out to Montauk, you need electronics you can trust completely.
We start with understanding how you actually use your boat. Weekend fishing trips require different electronics than long-range cruising, and we design your installation accordingly.
First, we evaluate your current electrical system and plan the integration to prevent compatibility issues. Every wire is properly sized and protected, every connection is sealed against moisture, and every component is mounted to withstand the marine environment.
During installation, we test each system individually before integrating everything together. You receive complete training on your new electronics, plus documentation of the installation for warranty and resale purposes. The result is a system that enhances your boating experience rather than creating new frustrations.

Our marine electronics services cover everything from basic stereo upgrades to complex multi-display navigation systems. We install fishfinders and sonar systems optimized for Long Island’s fishing grounds, GPS navigation that accounts for local tidal conditions, and audio systems that deliver clear sound even at cruising speed.
Custom wiring and electrical work ensures your new electronics integrate properly with existing systems. We handle everything from simple component swaps to complete electrical overhauls, always using marine-grade components designed for the harsh saltwater environment.
Southold’s unique position on Long Island Sound presents specific challenges—from strong currents near Plum Gut to the shallow waters around Robins Island. We configure your electronics to handle these local conditions, ensuring optimal performance whether you’re fishing the Sound or cruising to Block Island.
Installation time depends on the complexity of your system and your boat’s existing wiring. A basic fishfinder or GPS unit typically takes 4-6 hours, while a complete electronics overhaul with multiple displays, radar, and audio integration can require several days.
We provide accurate time estimates during our initial consultation and work around your schedule to minimize downtime. For complex installations, we can often complete preliminary work like running cables while your boat is stored, reducing the time needed when you’re ready to launch.
The key is proper planning—rushing an installation to meet an artificial deadline often creates problems that take longer to fix than doing it right initially.
We install all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno, and Humminbird. Our technicians maintain factory certifications with these manufacturers, ensuring warranty compliance and access to technical support.
Brand selection depends on your specific needs and budget. Garmin excels in user-friendly interfaces and integration, while Furuno offers superior radar performance for serious offshore work. We help you choose the right combination of brands and models for your boating style.
Our factory authorization means we can provide warranty service and have direct access to technical support when needed. This relationship also ensures we stay current with software updates and new product releases.
Integration is one of our specialties. Modern marine electronics use NMEA protocols that allow different brands to share information, but proper configuration is essential for reliable operation.
We evaluate your existing systems first to identify compatibility issues and upgrade paths. Sometimes older equipment needs firmware updates or interface modules to work with new components. In other cases, strategic replacement of key components creates a more reliable overall system.
The goal is seamless operation where your GPS waypoints appear on your fishfinder, your radar overlay shows on your chartplotter, and your autopilot follows routes from your navigation system. When done correctly, your boat’s electronics work as a unified system rather than individual components.
Comprehensive training is included with every installation. Modern marine electronics offer powerful features, but only if you know how to use them effectively.
We provide hands-on training covering basic operation, advanced features specific to your boating needs, and troubleshooting common issues. This includes creating waypoints for your favorite fishing spots, setting up radar guard zones for anchoring, and configuring alarms for safe operation.
We also provide written documentation and quick-reference guides customized for your installation. Follow-up support is available by phone or email, and we’re happy to provide refresher training when you’re ready to explore more advanced features.
We provide a comprehensive warranty covering both labor and installation materials. Equipment warranties are handled directly through the manufacturer, while our installation warranty covers wiring, mounting, and configuration work.
Our warranty includes free service calls for any installation-related issues during the warranty period. This covers everything from loose connections to configuration problems, ensuring your electronics continue operating as designed.
We stand behind our work because we use proper marine-grade materials and follow manufacturer installation guidelines. Most installation problems result from shortcuts or improper materials—issues you won’t experience with our professional installation.
We offer mobile installation services throughout the Southold area and can work at your marina, boatyard, or private dock. Our mobile service includes all necessary tools and testing equipment for complete installation and commissioning.
Mobile service is particularly convenient for larger installations where bringing your boat to our facility isn’t practical. We coordinate with marina management to ensure proper access and power for our equipment.
For complex installations requiring specialized tools or fabrication work, we may recommend completing certain phases at our climate-controlled facility. This ensures optimal conditions for sensitive electronics work and allows us to pre-fit components before final installation on your boat.
