Simrad marine electronics installation on Long Island.
We install Simrad NSS, NSO, and GO series chartplotters, HALO radar, and autopilot systems on boats across Nassau County and Suffolk County.
Simrad is the preferred brand for serious offshore anglers and cruisers on Long Island. The NSS evo3S and NSO evo3 systems are built for the demands of long offshore passages, rough weather, and hard use. We install the full Simrad ecosystem and make sure every component communicates correctly.

Simrad marine electronics we install on Long Island
Simrad's NSS and NSO series are built for serious offshore use. Large, sunlight-readable displays with fast processors, deep chart library support, and integration with the full Simrad autopilot and radar ecosystem make these the go-to for Long Island sportfishers and cruisers running offshore.
- NSS evo3S touchscreen chartplotters (9"–16")
- NSO evo3 large-format displays (19"–24")
- GO series entry-level chartplotters
- HALO radar — pulse compression, no warmup time
- AP44 and AC70 autopilot systems
- Broadband 3G/4G radar
- Simrad RS90S VHF radio with AIS integration
- B&G instruments (sister brand, fully compatible)
Why offshore anglers on Long Island choose Simrad
Simrad HALO radar is one of the best pulse-compression radar systems available for recreational boats. Unlike traditional magnetron radar, HALO is instant-on, extremely good at short-range targets, and integrates seamlessly with Simrad displays as a chartplotter overlay.
The Simrad autopilot ecosystem is also outstanding. The AP44 controller and AC70 computer make for a precise, reliable autopilot that integrates with the chartplotter for route following and track mode — essential for long offshore passages from Long Island to the canyons.
Simrad and B&G are the same underlying hardware with different firmware and branding. If you have B&G instruments and want to add a Simrad display — or vice versa — we handle that integration regularly.

Frequently asked questions about Simrad installation
What is the difference between Simrad and B&G?
Simrad and B&G are both made by Navico and share the same hardware platform. Simrad is marketed toward powerboats and offshore fishing. B&G is marketed toward sailboats and bluewater cruising. The displays are interchangeable on the same NMEA 2000 network and can share data seamlessly.
Can I add Simrad HALO radar to a Simrad chartplotter I already have?
Yes. HALO radar connects to Simrad chartplotters via ethernet. As long as your display is a supported NSS evo2/evo3 or NSO evo2/evo3 model, HALO can be added as an overlay without replacing the chartplotter.
Do you install Simrad autopilot systems?
Yes. We install Simrad AP44 and AC70 autopilot systems including the drive unit, pump, rudder feedback sensor, and network integration. A properly installed Simrad autopilot can maintain a compass heading, GPS track, or chart route automatically.
Is Simrad compatible with other brands on my NMEA 2000 network?
Yes. Simrad devices are NMEA 2000 certified and can share data with Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, and other brand devices on the same network. We handle cross-brand NMEA 2000 installations regularly.
What is the difference between the Simrad NSS evo3S and NSX series?
The NSS evo3S is Simrad's proven multi-function display — excellent for multi-display offshore helms, wide accessory support, and deep integration with HALO radar and autopilot. The NSX is the newer generation with a larger all-glass touchscreen and updated radar integration. For boats already running an evo3S system, adding to that platform is usually the right move. For new builds, the NSX is worth considering.
How long does a Simrad installation take on Long Island?
A single chartplotter replacement with NMEA 2000 integration typically takes 4–6 hours. A full multi-display helm build with HALO radar, autopilot, and sonar runs 1–2 days depending on the boat. We give you a written estimate with a time range before we start — no surprises on schedule or cost.

Perfect 5-star rating on Google. Every review is a real customer from a real Long Island marina.
★★★★★
LIME did a full Garmin helm build on my 307. NMEA 2000 network, Panoptix sonar, Halo radar, and autopilot. Flawless installation. Everything talks to everything. 5 stars without question.
— Mike T., Grady-White 307
★★★★★
Had another "installer" mess up my electronics. LIME came in, diagnosed the wiring nightmare, fixed it correctly, and upgraded the whole helm. These guys know what they're doing.
— Rich S., Contender 39 ST
★★★★★
Best in the business on Long Island. NMEA certified, professional, and the cleanest wiring I've ever seen. Worth every penny.
