Marine electronics in Westhampton.
Chartplotters, radar, VHF, sounders and full helm rebuilds for boats on Moriches Bay and Quantuck Bay — installed at your dock in Westhampton.
LIME is an NMEA Certified marine electronics installer working across Suffolk County. We come to the boat wherever it sits — the Westhampton Beach marinas and the Quogue canal. When you call, you get the person who does the work.
What We Do
Marine electronics installation in Westhampton.
Every install is done to ABYC electrical standards — tinned marine wire, correctly rated fuses, labelled circuits and a load test before we leave. Most Westhampton work is seasonal boats that need a full systems check and electronics commissioning each spring.
Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine and Furuno displays sized to your helm, wired into a proper NMEA 2000 backbone so everything talks to everything.
Radar and AIS for running Moriches Bay and Quantuck Bay in fog, at night and in traffic. Mounted, aligned and tuned so the picture is actually usable.
Fixed-mount VHF with DSC, proper antenna runs and clean grounds — so you are heard the first time you call.
Transducer placement is the whole job. We put it where it reads at speed for centre consoles, sportfish and summer-season cruisers, not just where it is easy to drill.
Custom fabricated panels when the factory dash will not take a modern display. Cut, finished and wired to look factory.
House banks, lithium conversions, charging and marine solar — all on the DC side, done properly.
Boating in Westhampton
We know the water you run.
Boats out of Westhampton run Moriches Bay and Quantuck Bay. Most are centre consoles, sportfish and summer-season cruisers, launched and kept around the Westhampton Beach marinas and the Quogue canal. From there people head out Moriches or Shinnecock Inlet for tuna and sea bass.
That matters for what you should have at the helm. Westhampton boats are typically seasonal boats that need a full systems check and electronics commissioning each spring. We size the electronics to how you actually use the boat — not to whatever is on the shelf.
We are on the water across Suffolk County every week. If you are in Westhampton, we are not making a special trip — we are already nearby.

Our Process
How a Westhampton job runs.
You get the person doing the work, not a call centre. Tell us the boat, where it sits in Westhampton, and what you want it to do.
For anything substantial we come and look first — the helm, the wiring behind the dash, the cutout sizes. Guessing costs you money.
We go over time and labour costs with you before we start. Everything is time and materials — no fixed-price promises we cannot honour.
ABYC standards throughout — tinned wire, rated fuses, labelled circuits, sealed penetrations.
We power everything up, check the network, and walk you through it so you can actually use it.
60-day labour warranty. Equipment carries the manufacturer warranty. If something is not right, we come back.
Most Common Work
What we fix most on Westhampton boats.
After enough seasons working Suffolk County, patterns show up. These are the jobs that come up again and again on boats kept around Westhampton.
Unsealed penetrations wick water straight into the harness. We re-run, re-seal and route so nothing sits in a puddle.
Most owners add an autopilot later. We wire the helm so it can take one without tearing the dash apart a second time.
A radar left on factory settings shows noise, not targets. We set gain, sea and rain clutter for the water you run.

Why It Matters
Local knowledge is part of the job.
Anyone can bolt a screen to a dash. Setting it up for where you actually run is different. Boats working Moriches Bay and Quantuck Bay out of Westhampton need charts, ranges and alarms configured for that water — not left on factory defaults.
We set depth alarms for the water you run, put the chart detail where you need it, and configure radar guard zones for the traffic you actually encounter heading out Moriches or Shinnecock Inlet for tuna and sea bass. It takes an extra half hour and it is the difference between electronics you trust and electronics you ignore.
We are also honest about what you do not need. If the boat does not justify a second display or a bigger radar, we will tell you. Selling you gear you will not use is a bad way to keep a customer in a town this size.

What Boat Owners Say
Long Island boat owners, in their words.
"Showed up when he said, did the work himself, and explained everything. The plotter and radar finally talk to each other."
"Opened the dash and it is all labelled and tidy. Completely different from what the last guy left me."
"Told me what I needed and what I did not. Did not try to sell me the biggest screen in the catalogue."
Questions
Marine electronics in Westhampton — common questions.
Do you service boats in Westhampton?
Yes. LIME covers all of Suffolk County and the rest of Long Island, Westhampton included. We come to your boat — at the dock, on the mooring, on the lift or on the trailer. Travel is billed one way, portal-to-portal, with a 4-hour minimum.
What does marine electronics installation cost in Westhampton?
All work is time and materials — we never quote a firm fixed price. Labour runs at our NMEA MEI rate with a 4-hour minimum, portal-to-portal, and parts are billed at cost plus markup. We give you fair pricing up front so you know the scale of the job before we start.
Can you install electronics while my boat stays in Westhampton?
Almost always. Most chartplotter, radar, VHF, sounder and NMEA 2000 work happens right where the boat sits on Moriches Bay and Quantuck Bay. Only bigger dash fabrication jobs are easier at a yard, and we will tell you up front if that is the case.
Which brands do you install?
Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, Furuno, Icom, Fusion and more. LIME supplies all equipment we install — we do not fit customer-supplied gear, because we cannot warranty what we did not supply.
How long does a job in Westhampton take?
A single chartplotter or VHF swap is usually one visit. A full helm with plotter, radar, sounder and an NMEA 2000 backbone is typically one to two days. We give you a realistic timeline up front rather than a best case.
Are you certified?
Yes — NMEA Certified MEI, working to ABYC electrical standards, fully insured, and an Empire Wind NETP approved vendor. Labour carries a 60-day warranty; equipment carries the manufacturer's warranty.
Do I need to haul the boat?
Almost never. The overwhelming majority of our work happens with the boat in the water, on the lift or on the trailer wherever it already sits.
Can you work on older boats?
Yes, and a lot of our work is exactly that — modern displays fitted to boats whose wiring is decades old. We replace what is tired rather than building on top of it.
