Marine Electronics Greenport
Marine Electronics — Greenport, NY

Marine electronics in Greenport.

Chartplotters, radar, VHF, sounders and full helm rebuilds for boats kept on Greenport Harbor and in Stirling Basin — installed right at your slip on the North Fork.

LIME is an NMEA Certified installer, and marine electronics Greenport owners rely on is what we do all season. We come to the boat wherever it sits — Mitchell Park Marina, Brewer Yacht Yard, Townsend Manor, Brewer Stirling Harbor Marina, Claudio’s, or a mooring in the harbor. When you call, you get the person who does the work.

What We Install

Marine electronics Greenport boats actually need.

Greenport is a working harbor village — commercial fishing boats, a full charter fleet, sailboats on moorings, and cruisers tucked into Stirling Basin for the season. Whatever is tied up, the goal is the same: electronics that work the first time, because a boat on the North Fork does not get a second Saturday to fix it.

Chartplotters & Multifunction Displays

Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine and Furuno — single screens or a two- and three-display glass helm. Charts, sonar, radar and engine data on one network, laid out so the screen you need is the one in front of you.

Radar & AIS

Ferry traffic runs in and out of Greenport all day, and Gardiners Bay and Shelter Island Sound fog in fast. Dome and open-array radar mounted, aligned and tuned, with AIS so you see the traffic and the traffic sees you.

VHF Radios & Hailers

Fixed-mount DSC VHF properly wired to a GPS source so a distress call actually carries your position. Antennas, hailers and a second station at the tower where the boat has one.

Sounders & Transducers

Peconic Bay and the flats around Orient shoal quickly, and the current runs hard through the Plum Gut and Race. Through-hull, in-hull and transom transducers picked for your hull and installed where they read clean at speed instead of clouding over.

NMEA 2000 Networks

A proper backbone with the right terminators, drops and power tap — the thing that makes the plotter, the engine data, the autopilot and the sounder all agree. Most of the intermittent faults we get called for come back to this.

Starlink & Satellite Internet

Cell coverage gets thin once you are out past Orient Point or working the grounds off Plum Island. Starlink mounted, powered off the DC side and set up so the boat has real internet for weather, work and the kids.

Boating in Greenport

Greenport Harbor, Stirling Basin and the North Fork.

Greenport Harbor sits right on the village waterfront, open to Long Island Sound to the north — Mitchell Park Marina and Claudio’s Marina both sit on this exposed side, close to the shops and the rail platform. Around the point, Stirling Basin gives a calmer, better-sheltered anchorage: Brewer Yacht Yard at Greenport with its own travel lift, Townsend Manor Inn Marina, and Brewer Stirling Harbor Marina with the fuel dock all sit inside the basin. It is a real working waterfront, so we plan a Greenport day around whichever side of the point your boat is on.

South and east of the village you are into Shelter Island Sound, Gardiners Bay and Peconic Bay — open, busy water with the Shelter Island North Ferry crossing right through it, commercial traffic, and a real chop when the wind fights the tide. Orient Point, the easternmost tip of the North Fork, is a short run further out, with Plum Gut and The Race funneling a lot of current past it. That combination — ferry traffic, fog, and water that moves fast — is exactly why radar and AIS earn their keep out here.

Our Greenport service area covers the whole North Fork — Southold, Orient, Shelter Island (a quick hop on the North Ferry), and Sag Harbor across the water on the South Fork — plus the rest of Suffolk County.

How It Works

How a marine electronics Greenport visit works.

Six steps, no surprises. The whole point is one trip out to Greenport with the right parts on the truck.

1. You call or email

Tell us the boat, where it sits in Greenport, and what you want it to do. Photos of the helm and the model numbers of what is on there now save a trip and save you money.

2. We scope it and price it

You get the scale of the job in writing — time and materials, never a fixed price. $280 for the first hour, $140/hr after in 15-minute steps, parts at cost plus markup, and the travel number for the run out to Greenport, stated up front.

3. We bring the parts with us

LIME supplies everything we install. Gear is ordered, bench-checked and loaded before we leave Amityville, because “we will come back with the bracket” is not a plan when the boat is 70 miles away.

4. We install at your boat

At the slip, on the mooring, on the lift or on the trailer. Wiring to ABYC standards, proper terminals and support, labelled runs — work that the next person to open the console can follow.

5. We commission and sea trial

Radar aligned, sounder tuned, network checked end to end, charts and software updated, and the screens set up the way you actually use them. Then we show you how to drive it.

6. You are covered

60-day labor warranty on everything we do; equipment carries the manufacturer’s warranty. If something needs a second look, you call the same person who installed it.

Common Jobs

What Greenport owners call us for.

Some of it is planned refit work over the winter. A lot of it is the thing that quit on the run in from Gardiners Bay.

Helm Rebuilds

Old pods and cracked dashes out, a new panel cut to fit the screens you are actually buying, wiring re-run behind it. The most common upgrade on boats that are ten to twenty years old and otherwise perfectly good.

Electronics That Quit

Screen goes dark, sounder drops out at speed, plotter loses the heading. Nine times out of ten it is power, a corroded connection or a network that was never terminated properly — and we find it rather than throwing parts at it.

Radar Added To An Existing Helm

Mounting a dome or open array on a hardtop or mast, running the cable cleanly and getting it talking to a plotter that is already on board. Popular with anyone who has been caught out in fog on Gardiners Bay or Shelter Island Sound once.

Corrosion & Wiring Repair

Salt air off the Sound and the Bay is patient. Green terminals, chafed runs, butt splices from a previous owner. We replace what is tired instead of building on top of it.

New Boat Commissioning

Bought a boat and want it set up properly before the season? Plotter, radar, VHF, sounder, cameras and networking done in one planned visit, so the first weekend is spent on the water instead of in the console.

Batteries, Charging & Power

Modern glass helms pull real current. Lithium conversions, charging, bus work and DC distribution done off the house bank — we stay on the DC side and leave AC panel work to a licensed electrician.

Why LIME

The drive out to the North Fork, priced honestly.

Our shop is in Amityville. Greenport is about 70 miles and an hour and twenty-five minutes away on a good day, longer on a summer weekend. Plenty of installers quietly bury that in a padded quote. We do not. The first 30 minutes each way is inside the $280 first hour; past that, extra travel is $40 per half hour per man, door to door, and you know the number before we leave.

What that distance really buys you is discipline. We plan a Greenport job so it finishes in one visit — parts checked and loaded before we roll, the helm layout worked out in advance, spares for the connectors that always turn out to be wrong. No four-hour minimum, no trip fee, no setup line on top of the first hour, and no fixed-price fiction: everything is time and materials, and you pay for the time actually worked.

You also get the same person every time. NMEA Certified MEI, ABYC electrical standards, fully insured, Empire Wind NETP approved vendor, 60-day labor warranty. The phone number on this page is the installer’s.

Verbatim Google reviews. We do not write our own.

★★★★★ AJ S.

“I was having a problem with my electronics on my boat. I had tried getting an appointment with several other companies, but could not get anyone to come down and take a look. When I contacted LIME I got Dave the owner on the phone and he was very knowledgeable. He was able to come out the same day I called to get an appointment and was able to diagnose the problem right away. I would absolutely use them again.”

★★★★★ Vanessa O.

“David is the ultimate professional. He installed a new radar and AIS on our boat in up state New York. He knows all the systems and is able to troubleshoot and provide solutions. No job is too big or too small. Highly recommend him!”

★★★★★ Michael B.

“Great service. Fixed all issues promptly. Would recommend to anyone needing boat servicing.”

FAQ

Marine electronics Greenport — common questions.

Do you service boats in Greenport?

Yes. LIME covers all of Suffolk County, Greenport and the North Fork included — Greenport Harbor, Stirling Basin and out toward Orient Point. We come to the boat: at the slip, on a mooring, on the lift or on the trailer. Your first hour is $280 flat with travel included (up to 30 minutes each way); after that it is $140/hr, billed in 15-minute steps.

What does marine electronics installation cost in Greenport?

All work is time and materials — we never quote a firm fixed price. Labor is $280 for the first hour (travel up to 30 minutes each way included), then $140/hr billed in 15-minute steps, with no four-hour minimum. Parts are billed at cost plus markup. You get fair pricing up front so you know the scale of the job before we start, and you only pay for the time actually worked.

Greenport is a long drive from you — how is travel billed?

Honestly, and up front. Our shop is in Amityville, and Greenport is about 70 miles east — roughly an hour and twenty-five minutes each way without traffic, longer on a summer Friday. The first 30 minutes each way is already inside the $280 first hour. Beyond that, extra travel is $40 per half hour per man, door to door. We tell you the number before we roll, and we plan the trip so the job gets done in one visit instead of two.

Can you install while my boat stays in the water at a Greenport marina?

Almost always. Chartplotter, radar, VHF, sounder and NMEA 2000 work happens right where the boat sits — at Mitchell Park Marina, Brewer Yacht Yard, Townsend Manor, Brewer Stirling Harbor Marina, Claudio’s, or on a mooring in the harbor. Only a through-hull transducer or heavy dash fabrication is easier with the boat hauled or at a bench, and we tell you that up front rather than after we arrive.

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 hardware we did not source.

How long does a Greenport job 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, and each day starts with its own first-hour rate — a long drive is exactly why we plan a Greenport visit to cover everything in as few trips as possible. We give you a realistic timeline up front rather than a best case.

Are you certified and insured?

Yes — NMEA Certified MEI, working to ABYC electrical standards, fully insured, and an Empire Wind NETP approved vendor. Labor carries a 60-day warranty; equipment carries the manufacturer’s warranty.

Do you supply the equipment?

Yes, and only equipment we supply. We do not install customer-supplied gear, because we cannot stand behind hardware we did not source. Telling us the boat, the helm layout and what you want it to do lets us bring the right parts out to Greenport on the first trip.

The Rest Of The North Fork

Already heading out this way? Same truck, same day.

If the boat lives somewhere else on the North Fork or across the water on the South Fork, or you keep more than one, these are the other pages worth a look. Booking two jobs on the same run out is the cheapest way to buy our time.
