Marine Electronics FAQ – Installs, Products & Support

Yes, we do. We’ll come to you so there’s no need to haul your boat anywhere.

We’re based in the Bay of Plenty but service a wide area — Bay of Plenty, Coromandel Peninsula, and inland to Rotorua. If you’re further afield, get in touch and we’ll see what we can do.

In most cases, yes. We’re happy to install gear you already own, but we do recommend buying through us so you get full warranty support and the right advice for your setup.

It depends on the job. A simple sounder swap might take a couple of hours, while a full fit-out with radar, autopilot, and new wiring could take a day or two. We’ll give you a clear idea when quoting.

Yes. We’ll run through how everything works with you, and for systems like trolling motors and autopilots, we do on-water calibration to make sure they’re performing at their best.

We supply leading marine electronics brands like Garmin, Lowrance, Simrad, Minn Kota, and Furuno.

Definitely. If you just need the products, you can order directly from our online store or give us a call.

Yes — we ship anywhere in New Zealand.

Absolutely. Tell us what type of boat you have, how you fish, and where you go, and we’ll recommend the right gear for your needs and budget.

Yes, we can put together custom packages — for example, a chartplotter, transducer, and radar — and make sure everything works seamlessly together.

A transom mount is easier to install and works well for trailer boats. A thru-hull transducer gives better performance, especially at speed, but requires a professional install as it requires a hole through the hull.

That depends on your boat size and how you use it. Smaller boats often suit 5–7" units, while larger hardtops and launches are better with 9–12" or bigger screens. We’ll match the right size to your dash space and fishing style.

Usually, yes. Many systems can be upgraded without replacing everything. We’ll check compatibility and recommend the best upgrade path.

Yes, we always update your system to the latest software when installing. We can also update your software on an existing system in your boat.

Of course. If something’s not working right, give us a call — we’re here to help.

We don't currently offer any payment plans like Afterpay etc.
