How an upgrade works

Bridge of a working vessel with radar and navigation displays

  1. Tell us about the boat

    What is installed now, what you want it to do, and where the boat is kept.

  2. Get a written proposal

    Equipment, installation materials and labor itemized. Mounting options, mast access and haul-out are spelled out so nothing surprises you later.

  3. We install and network it

    FCC licensed technicians mount, wire and integrate the new equipment with what is already aboard.

  4. Sea trial and walkthrough

    We test under way with you at the helm and show you how to run the system.

Brands we sell and service

Where we hold a manufacturer appointment, your equipment is sold and supported under the manufacturer’s own program.

Why a government contractor works on private boats

MD Electronics is a division of MD Electric Group, a 26-year marine and defense electrical contractor. The technicians who install bridge electronics on commercial and government vessels are the same people who come to your boat.

Electronics and electrical sit in one company. If your upgrade needs power, panel or wiring work, it is handled by one team under one proposal.

Marinas and yacht clubs

We work through marinas and yacht clubs so members get one point of contact and scheduled visits to the dock. If you manage a marina or serve on a club board, ask about putting MD Electronics on your preferred vendor list.

Q & A

Questions boat owners ask

Do you work on recreational boats, or only commercial vessels?

Both. MD Electronics serves private boat owners as well as commercial and government operators.

Will you come to my marina?

Yes. We go where the boats are. Travel-dependent work is priced as Quoted Service, with travel and expenses included in the quote.

Can you install equipment I already bought?

Yes. We install equipment you supply. We cannot warrant equipment we did not provide, so any warranty on the unit itself stays between you and the seller or manufacturer.

My unit is discontinued. Can it still be repaired?

It depends on the model and on parts. Check its support status, then call us with the model number.
