Bass Boat Electronics Install?

Dang!   Y'all must be hard on those boys that are doing your boat stuff down there.  

Try being a bit more pleasant to do business with, and maybe they'll lighten up a bit.  👍

Anyone know anything about a Brandon at Cope Marine? I talked to him and he seemed pretty informed!

I just used Ozark Marine electronics . Great guys and they did a really clean job.. I have another unit to go on the bow this week . They make house and dock calls . For me that's a huge plus.

Depending on what electronics you are wanting installed, it may require a dedicated deep cycle battery, and that battery will need it's own secured battery tray, AND charger.....since most onboards are only 3 bank.     3 hours of labor on top of those supplies.......Hmm, 🤔  Do the math.

Please let us know where you end up getting it done, what you had installed and what it cost.   Two graphs, Forward Facing sonar, and troller would take in excess of day to install and at $120/hr do the math.  I know of one guy who had this same upgrade and got a great deal at $1300.  What say you Wrench?

Depends on what all you're having installed, and what boat you're having it installed on. 

Some systems are a piece of cake, and others are an overly-complicated mess that requires a extra set of hands.

A drive but Bass Boat Technology in Tulsa is hard to beat. Experts on the units and installation.

I will have all the parts - one  Garmin graph, live scope plus, one bracket, and I have the battery and tray. All I need is labor and some wire!

Many places prefer that you buy the parts from them, therefore allowing them to make a little money on the retail end. If you bring your own, they're gonna make it up on labor. Can't blame em there.
