Modern electronics and networked instruments installed right
Modern marine electronics share data over NMEA 2000 networks — a standardized backbone that connects chartplotters, instruments, autopilots, and sensors. When properly installed, all your devices speak to each other seamlessly.
But a poorly designed network creates headaches: intermittent data, devices that won't talk, and mysterious errors. We design and install NMEA 2000 backbones correctly, with proper termination, appropriate drop lengths, and clean power.
Whether you're adding a single instrument or building a complete navigation package, we ensure everything works together reliably.
Proper network topology with correct cable lengths, T-connectors, and termination. The foundation for reliable data sharing.
Multifunction displays mounted securely with proper power, networking, and transducer connections. See your charts, radar, and instruments in one place.
Class B AIS transceivers for collision avoidance. See other vessels and be seen. Integrated with your chartplotter and VHF.
Dome or open-array radar with proper mounting, cabling, and integration. Essential for fog, night navigation, and collision avoidance.
Hydraulic or linear autopilots with proper compass calibration and rudder feedback. Integration with chartplotter for route following.
Wind, depth, speed, and engine data displays. Networked instruments that share data across your helm stations.
Details that matter for a reliable network.
Every NMEA 2000 backbone needs exactly two terminators — one at each end. Missing or extra terminators cause communication errors.
Device drops have maximum length limits. Exceeding them causes data corruption. We design networks within specifications.
NMEA 2000 networks need dedicated, properly fused power. Sharing circuits with noisy loads causes interference.
Connecting older NMEA 0183 devices to NMEA 2000 networks via gateways. Bridge your legacy instruments to modern displays.
