When DIY is not enough

New electronics installs, NMEA networking, and helm integration are project work — contact us for repower and electronics coordination on Yamaha and Mercury rigs.

DIY steps

Rinse and microfiber-dry displays after salt trips — don't spray directly into bezels.
Use manufacturer screen cleaner only.
Cover MFDs when stored on lifts or open consoles.
Export waypoints and settings seasonally as backup.
