Marine electronics in Northport.
Chartplotters, radar, VHF, sounders and full helm rebuilds for boats kept on Northport Harbor — installed right at your slip or mooring.
LIME is an NMEA Certified installer, and marine electronics Northport owners rely on is what we do all season. We come to the boat wherever it sits — Northport Yacht Club, Britannia Yachting Center, the Village Dock on Main Street, Seymour’s, a mooring inside the harbor, or over in Centerport. When you call, you get the person who does the work.
What We Install
Marine electronics Northport boats actually need.
Northport Harbor is a working harbor with a full range of boats — sailboats on moorings, center consoles and cruisers at Britannia and the Yacht Club, day boats off the Village Dock. Whatever is tied up, the goal is the same: electronics that work the first time, because nobody wants to burn a summer Saturday waiting on a tech. Our marine electronics installation work runs from a single VHF radio to a full helm rebuild.
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
The Sound fogs in fast off Eaton’s Neck, and ferry and commercial traffic runs close by. 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
Duck Island Harbor and the flats off Asharoken shoal quickly. 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 patchy once you are out past Eaton’s Neck on the Sound. Starlink mounted, powered off the DC side and set up so the boat has real internet for weather, work and the kids.
Boating in Northport
Northport Harbor, Duck Island and Eaton’s Neck.
Northport Harbor is the middle of it — a deep, well-protected harbor with Northport Yacht Club and the Village Dock right off Main Street, Britannia Yachting Center a short run up toward Fort Salonga Road, and Seymour’s Boat Yard rounding out the waterfront. It is a real village harbor: moorings, a town dock, and marinas all within sight of each other, which is exactly why we can get a full day of work done here without moving the truck twice.
South of the harbor mouth you are past Duck Island Harbor, a shallow, marshy stretch between the Northport shoreline and Eaton’s Neck where a foot of water matters and a transducer that reads late is worse than no transducer at all. Eaton’s Neck itself — the peninsula with its own Coast Guard lighthouse — guards the entrance out into Huntington Bay and Long Island Sound, with the narrow spit of Asharoken connecting it back to the mainland. Once you are out past the Neck you are in open Sound water: fog, ferry traffic and a real chop when the wind runs against the tide. That is radar and AIS country.
Just west, separated by a narrow point, is Centerport Harbor and Centerport Yacht Club — close enough that a lot of Northport owners know it as well as their own harbor, and close enough that we regularly book both on the same trip.
Our Northport service area covers the harbor and the water around it — Centerport, Asharoken, Eaton’s Neck and Huntington to the west, plus Sag Harbor and the rest of Suffolk County. Huntington Harbour and Halesite, the bigger marina cluster a few miles west, have their own page if that is where your boat sits.
How It Works
How a marine electronics Northport visit works.
Six steps, no surprises. The whole point is one trip to Northport with the right parts on the truck.
1. You call or email
Tell us the boat, where it sits in Northport, 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 stated up front if your slip runs past the included 30 minutes.
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.
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 Northport 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 way in from the Sound. If the boat is coming out for the season, a winter electronics refit is the easiest way to get the planned work done before spring.
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 off Eaton’s Neck once.
Corrosion & Wiring Repair
Salt air off the Sound 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.

Marine electronics near me — Northport
Searching “marine electronics near me” from Northport? Here is how near we are.
Northport Harbor, the village dock and Centerport are about 32 minutes from our Amityville shop in normal traffic, a few minutes past the 30 that are included in the first hour. The small travel charge that covers it ($40 per half hour, door to door) is on the ticket before you book, never a surprise after.
We are a mobile marine electronics installer, not a store. You do not carry anything in: we bring the tools, the parts and the NMEA-certified installer to your boat, whether it sits at a marina, a yacht club or a private dock in Northport. The person who answers the phone is the person who does the work, and your time and labor costs are given up front.
Nearby, we also work in Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor and Oyster Bay, and across Long Island from Freeport to Sag Harbor and Montauk. Somewhere else on the Island? Start at our marine electronics near me page, which lists every town we serve in Nassau and Suffolk County.
Why LIME
A short run, priced honestly.
Our shop is in Amityville. Northport Harbor is about 28 miles and roughly 40 minutes away — close enough that most calls land right at, or just past, the 30 minutes each way already inside the $280 first hour. Where the extra few minutes does apply, it is $40 per half hour per man, door to door, and you know the number before we leave — not buried in a padded quote.
What that discipline buys you either way: 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.

★★★★★ 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.
