Installation Services
Professional Marine Installation
Our technicians install vendor products of every kind, from marine electronics and audio systems to trolling motors, lighting, canvas, and deck hardware. Whether you bought the product from us or brought it in yourself, we mount it, wire it, test it, and show you how it works before you leave the lot.
What We Install
Vendor Product Installation Of Every Kind
Most marine accessories fail early for the same reason, which is a rushed install rather than a bad product. Mounting points get drilled in the wrong place, wiring gets spliced instead of run properly, and nothing gets tested on the water. Our technicians treat every installation as a permanent part of the boat, so the product works the way the manufacturer intended for as long as you own it.
Marine Electronics
Fish finders, chartplotters, depth finders, GPS units, and transducers, mounted at the correct angle and wired to a clean power source so readings stay accurate at speed.
Audio And Entertainment
Marine stereos, speakers, amplifiers, subwoofers, and tower systems, installed with sealed marine grade connections that hold up to spray, sun, and vibration.
Trolling Motors
Bow mount and transom trolling motors, batteries, onboard chargers, and switch panels, including the reinforcement and breaker sizing the motor needs to run safely.
Lighting And LEDs
Courtesy lighting, docking lights, navigation lights, and underwater LEDs, wired through proper fusing so nothing draws down your starting battery overnight.
Canvas And Covers
Bimini tops, mooring covers, full enclosures, and playpen covers, fitted to your exact boat so the frame lines up and the canvas sheds water instead of pooling it.
Seating And Hardware
Helm seats, boarding ladders, ski tows, rails, tables, and grab handles, through bolted with backing plates rather than screwed into unsupported deck.

Installation For Every Type Of Boater
A tournament angler rigging electronics and a family adding a bimini before a summer weekend need very different things from an installer. We scope every job around how the boat actually gets used, so the layout, the wiring, and the timeline fit the owner rather than a generic template.

Our Installation Process
A Clear Path From Product To Water
Every job runs through the same five steps, so you always know what happens next and what it will cost before we start.
Consultation
Tell us what you want added and how you use the boat, and we help you pick a product that fits.
Assessment
We inspect the boat, check what your wiring can support, and agree the mounting plan with you.
Written Estimate
You approve the scope, the parts, and the timeline in writing before any work begins.
Installation
We mount with proper backing, then loom, fuse, and seal every connection to marine standard.
Test And Handover
Everything is powered up, tested, and walked through with you before you take the boat home.
Why Choose Us
Installation You Can Rely On
Every Install Done In House
Mounting, wiring, canvas, and hardware are all handled by our own technicians under one roof, so nothing gets passed between shops and no one can point at someone else if a question comes up later.
Any Product Any Brand
We install vendor products across the board, including gear you purchased somewhere else and boats we did not sell you, so you are never stuck hunting for someone willing to touch it.
Wiring Done To Marine Standard
Every new circuit is properly fused, loomed, and sealed with marine grade connections rather than spliced into whatever was nearest, which is the single biggest reason accessories fail early.
80+ Years Of Local Trust
Boaters on Raystown Lake have brought us their work since 1946, and we are still here to answer for it, which is a very different promise than a mobile installer you may never see again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers To Common Installation Questions
Will you install a product I bought somewhere else?
Yes. We regularly install customer supplied products, whether you bought them online, at a big box store, or from another dealer. Bring the product and all of its mounting hardware and we will let you know before we start if anything is missing or if the part is not a good match for your boat.
Do you install on boats you did not sell?
Yes. We install on virtually any make and model, not only the Barletta and South Bay boats we sell new. Our technicians work on pontoons, tritoons, bowriders, fishing boats, cruisers, and houseboats regardless of where they were purchased.
How long does an installation take?
It depends entirely on the product. A simple accessory or a set of courtesy lights can often be done in a day, while a full electronics package, a trolling motor with a new battery system, or a custom canvas enclosure can take several days to a couple of weeks. We confirm an estimated timeline in writing once we have inspected your boat.
Do you install marine electronics and fish finders?
Yes. We install fish finders, chartplotters, GPS units, depth finders, and transducers. Transducer placement matters more than most owners expect, because a unit mounted in disturbed water will lose its reading the moment you get on plane, so we place it based on your specific hull.
Can you install a trolling motor on my pontoon?
Yes, and pontoons are one of the most common trolling motor installs we do. A pontoon bow usually needs reinforcement or a mounting plate to carry the load properly, and the motor needs its own correctly sized battery, charger, and breaker. We handle all of that as part of the job rather than bolting the motor on and leaving the power side to you.
Do you handle the wiring and electrical work?
Yes. Every new circuit we add is fused correctly, run through protected and loomed routes, and finished with sealed marine grade connections. We also check that your existing battery and charging system can carry the added load before we install anything that draws meaningful power.
Do you install bimini tops, covers, and canvas?
Yes. We fit bimini tops, mooring covers, playpen covers, and full enclosures. Fit is the whole job with canvas, because a cover that pools water instead of shedding it will stretch, sag, and fail early, so we set the frame and tension to your exact boat.
Will I get an estimate before work begins?
Yes. Once we have inspected the boat and confirmed the mounting plan, we give you the scope of work, the parts required, and the cost in writing. Nothing gets installed until you have approved it.
Do you install Vantage Guard pontoon wraps?
Yes. We are an authorized Vantage Guard installer for custom protective pontoon wraps. You can find the full detail on our dedicated Vantage Wrap page.
Can you install while my boat is in storage with you?
Yes, and the off season is the ideal time for it. If your boat is already stored with us we can complete installation work over the winter so it is rigged, tested, and ready the day you want it back on the water.
Do you offer a warranty on installation work?
Products carry their own manufacturer warranty, and we stand behind the workmanship of the installation itself. If something we installed is not working the way it should, bring the boat back and we will make it right.
How do I schedule an installation?
Call our service department at 814-658-3464 or use the schedule button on this page. Tell us what you want installed and what boat it is going on, and our team will confirm a drop off time that works around your season.
