Simrad
Simrad Marine Electronics — Supply, Installation & Service NSW
Shotgun Marine are experienced installers and service providers for Simrad marine electronics, based in Port Macquarie and servicing the Mid North Coast of NSW. We help serious boaties and fishos choose, install and set up Simrad systems that work offshore, across bars and in coastal cruising conditions.
Simrad gear is popular with Australian skippers for its powerful chartplotters, reliable sonar performance and solid networking options. But even the best gear won’t perform unless it’s installed, powered and configured properly for your boat. That’s where our experience counts.
Simrad Supply & Installation Services
We supply and install the full range of Simrad marine electronics, including GPS chartplotters, sounders, multifunction displays, radar, autopilots and networking gear. Our services include:
- Simrad chartplotter supply and installation
- Sonar and transducer matching & setup
- Radar mounting, tuning and integration
- NMEA 2000 backbone design and fault finding
- Autopilot and steering interface setup
- System commissioning and on-water configuration
Every installation is tailored to your vessel, power system and how you use it — not just dragging cable and plugging gear in.
Why Proper Installation Matters
Even premium Simrad gear can underperform if the basics aren’t right. Common problems we fix include:
- Incorrect transducer selection or placement causing poor sonar returns
- Power noise and voltage drop issues reducing reliability
- Networking faults in NMEA 2000 or Ethernet backbones
- Radar installation or tuning not suited to local conditions
Our installs are checked and tested on the water — not just wired up in the shed.
