Marine electronics in Sag Harbor, where the boats get serious.
Sag Harbor has deep water, a working village waterfront and some of the largest private vessels on the East End tied up a short walk from Main Street. We install and repair marine electronics at your slip here — from a single display to a full yacht helm.
A good share of our yacht work comes out of this harbour: Sag Harbor Village Marina, Sag Harbor Cove Yacht Club and Ship A Shore. When you call LIME you get the person who does the work, and we come to the boat.

About Sag Harbor
Deep water, big boats, and a village that fills up in July.
Sag Harbor is unusual on Long Island. The water is deep enough alongside the village docks to take vessels that cannot get into most South Fork harbours, so the boat next to yours may be 100 feet with a full-time crew. Come July the whole place is full and the docks are busy from dawn.
That changes how work gets scheduled more than how it gets done. We book Sag Harbor jobs early in the day and plan multi-day refits around the season, because trying to run cable across a packed dock on a Saturday in August helps nobody.
Where We Work
The docks we actually work on.
Sag Harbor Village Marina
Right off Long Wharf. Deepest water in the village, and where most of the big boats tie up.
Sag Harbor Cove Yacht Club
Inside the cove past the bridge. Quieter, shallower. We have done full helm work here on boats into the 80s.
Ship A Shore
Dry dock on the Cove side, for the jobs that are easier with the boat out of the water.
The Boats
What we see in this harbour.
82 ft Alen
Full electronics commissioning on an 82 footer — twin Garmin helms, Volvo Penta integration, radar, AIS and the NMEA 2000 backbone tying it all together.
Riviera 60
Inverter and charger replacement on a 2022 Riviera 60 at the town docks off Long Wharf. A CZone boat, so the new Mastervolt units had to drop straight into the existing system.
Pontoon houseboat
A prefab houseboat at Ship a Shore, up on the blocks. DC systems designed and commissioned to ABYC standards, with a third-party marine survey at the end.

Getting There
Travel, told honestly.
It is a real drive
Sag Harbor is roughly 90 minutes from our base in Amityville. Under our rate card that means travel past the first 30 minutes each way is billed at $40 per half hour, door to door. We tell you the number before we book.
So we make the trip count
One reason we prefer to see photos and model numbers first. Getting the parts right before leaving means the job finishes in one visit instead of two.
Multi-day work is easier
On a full refit the travel is a smaller share of the job. Each day restarts the first-hour rate, and we plan the days back to back.
Bigger Boats
Working on something larger?
A lot of the work in Sag Harbor is on yachts — networked helms, multi-display refits and
integration on boats forty feet and up. There is a page for exactly that.
What It Costs
Time and materials, told up front.
$280 for the first hour with one installer — that covers travel up to
30 minutes each way and setup — then $140/hr billed in 15-minute
steps. A two-man crew is $440 for the first hour, then $220/hr. Sag Harbor is about 90 minutes each way from Amityville, so travel past the included 30 minutes is billed at $40 per half hour per man, door to door — we give you that number before booking.
There is no four-hour minimum and no separate setup charge. Parts are at cost plus markup, and we
supply what we install so the warranty sits in one place. We do not give fixed quotes — on a boat
with systems already aboard a firm number gets padded to be safe, which is not fair to you.
Sixty days on our labor; equipment carries the manufacturer's warranty.

The owner, Dave, suggested that I bring my kayak down to his shop so that he could diagnose the problem. He meticulously labeled the interior wiring and quickly determined the source of the malfunction. He was courteous, knowledgeable and provided professional service.

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!
Questions
Sag Harbor questions, answered.
Do you actually come out to Sag Harbor?Yes, regularly — it is one of the harbours we work in most. It is about 90 minutes each way from Amityville, so travel past the first 30 minutes each way is billed at $40 per half hour per man, door to door. We give you that figure before booking.

Can you work on a boat at the village docks in season?
Yes, and we prefer to start early in the day. The village waterfront gets busy from mid-morning in summer, so an early start means less time working around foot traffic on the dock.
What size boats do you handle here?
Anything from a center console up. Recent yacht work includes a 114 ft Burger, a 77 ft Lagoon catamaran and helms on Riviera and Pearl yachts. Larger vessels are mostly an integration and cable-routing job.
Can you install Starlink on a boat kept in Sag Harbor?
Yes. Mounted where it has a clear view, powered off the house bank rather than the AC panel, with onboard WiFi that covers the whole boat. It is one of the most common requests out here.
Do you do work at Sag Harbor Cove Yacht Club?
Yes — inside the cove past the bridge. It is shallower than the village side, which matters for haul-outs but not for electronics work at the slip.
How do I get a price?
Time and materials, never a fixed quote. $280 covers the first hour including setup, then $140/hr in 15-minute steps, plus the extra travel for the distance. Send photos of the helm and model numbers and we will give you a realistic range.

Send the make, model and a photo of the helm. That is usually enough to get the job done in one trip.
