# Device & Accessory Fitting ## Marine Device and Accessory Fitting Adding the right electronics and accessories can make a real difference to how a boat performs and how enjoyable it is to use. Sawley's Auto and Marine fits a wide range of marine devices and accessories, from GPS units and fishfinders through to radios and beyond. [![Raymarine chartplotter and switch panel installed at the helm](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0994/8115/7924/files/20211223_075018.jpg?v=1781584319&width=1400)](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0994/8115/7924/files/20211223_075018.jpg?v=1781584319&width=2048) A freshly fitted chartplotter and switch panel at the helm — click any photo to enlarge ### What's Involved - Assessing the best mounting position and wiring path for the device - Installing and wiring [GPS units, chartplotters](https://www.sawleysautoandmarine.com.au/collections/raymarine-instruments-marine-instruments-gauges) and [fishfinders](https://www.sawleysautoandmarine.com.au/collections/raymarine-transducers-sonar-transducers-sensors) - Fitting [marine radios and communication equipment](https://www.sawleysautoandmarine.com.au/collections/gme-electronics-uhf-radios-vhf-radios-communication-equipment) - Running and properly terminating wiring to avoid corrosion issues - Testing and setting up the device once fitted ### What We Fit Beyond GPS and fishfinder combo units and radios, we fit a range of other marine accessories and electronics on request — if you're not sure whether we can fit a particular device, it's worth asking. ### Vessels We Work On Device and accessory fitting suits any vessel, from a tinnie getting its first fishfinder through to a cruiser being fitted out with a fuller electronics package. ### Where We Work Fitting work is carried out at our Kadina workshop. ### Getting It Fitted Properly Marine electronics are exposed to vibration, moisture and salt air, so proper mounting and wiring matters — a poorly fitted unit or badly run cable is a common cause of corrosion and intermittent faults down the track. If you're chasing an existing electrical fault, see our [engine and electronic fault finding](https://www.sawleysautoandmarine.com.au/pages/engine-electronic-fault-finding) service. Having it fitted properly the first time saves chasing problems later. ### Bringing Your Own Unit If you've already purchased a GPS, fishfinder or radio and just need it fitted, that's not a problem — bring the unit in along with any mounting bracket and we'll take care of the installation and wiring. Many customers add electronics gradually, expanding a system as their boating needs change. ### Recent Fit-Ups [![Electric anchor winch installed in a boat's bow anchor
