Digital Switching Systems & NMEA 2000 Networking
Labor estimate Quoted after inspection
Book sends us a ticket; nothing is charged online. Before any work you get a written estimate for labor, parts and the trip fee, and nothing is done without your OK.
Trip fee By distance, one way: $30 in San Pedro, $50 in Long Beach
- San Pedro$30
- Wilmington, Terminal Island$40
- Long Beach: Shoreline, Rainbow Harbor$50
- Long Beach Marina, Alamitos Bay$60
- Redondo Beach$60
- Seal Beach, Huntington Harbour$75
- Marina del Rey$85
- Newport Beach$110
Farther away: $25 plus $2.50 a mile, one way from our San Pedro shop. No trip fee when the boat comes to our shop, or for plan members. The work of a visit is at least $150; the trip fee is on top.

About this service
Control Redefined.
From the Helm.
Cut the clutter of old switch panels. We replace long switch-wiring runs and old breaker panels with digital switching modules near the loads, linked by an NMEA 2000 backbone.
NMEA 2000 Backbone
The nervous system of a modern boat. In NMEA 2000 networking, one backbone cable with short drop cables connects engines, sensors, GPS and switching modules, so they can share data with the displays.
Glass Helm Integration
Fewer rocker switches. We integrate systems such as CZone or EmpirBus with compatible Garmin, Raymarine or Simrad MFDs, so the pumps and lights on the system can be controlled from the touchscreen.
Electronic Circuit Protection
Digital switching modules protect each circuit electronically, so most trips are reset from the touchscreen instead of hunting for a blown fuse in a dark engine room. Most modules also carry backup fuses and a manual override.
The Transformation.
From analog chaos to digital order.
Network Design
Whether it is a CZone installation or an EmpirBus system, we map every electrical load on your vessel and design a custom NMEA 2000 topology, determining the placement of digital switching modules to minimize wire runs.
De-Rigging
We remove abandoned wiring and the switch panels the new system replaces, cleaning up the electrical closets and helm station for the new hardware.
Installation
During NMEA 2000 installation, we run the backbone and mount the IPX-rated digital switching modules (like CZone Output Interfaces) near the equipment they control.
Programming
Here the system comes together. We configure the software, creating custom "Modes" (e.g., "Night Mode," "Docking Mode") that automate multiple switches with a single button press.
Intelligent Automation.
Your boat, smarter than ever.
Systems We Install.
We install and program digital switching and monitoring from these makers.
Common Questions
What if the touchscreen fails?
Redundancy is key. Most digital switching modules have backup fuses and a manual override on the unit, so you can still switch on critical circuits if the network or the screen goes down.
Can you retrofit an old boat?
Yes. It is a significant project, and it adds modern control and monitoring to an older boat. We look at the existing wiring first and give you a written estimate before any work starts.
