    Best Electronics rigging shop

    Would appreciate opinions on best shop to install / rig electronics on my boat please. (Mega live). I live in Indiana so would prefer shops in the midwest. Quality of the install is most important..

    After seeing G Mans new boat tricked out at Hennesseys, they are extremely good. They're are a lot of good electronics installers around though. Depends on if you're looking local or driving somewhere.

    Sherm's is just north of you and Honey creek tackle is southwest of you not far from Indy. Both places do good work, you looking for something special when it's rigged?

    Nothing special, just looking for mega live with a solix 12, I currently have a Solex 15 and a solix 12. I know nothing about how these are set up and just looking for a high-quality installer that will do things right and not cut corners.

    Sherm’s if he is fairly local otherwise go to Hennessey Outdoors. When it is done, fish Chickamauga and Watt’s Bar.

    Sherm is closer to you and he does do good work.

    HiTech seems to do good work and they are focused on the full line up.

    If you're looking for more of a specialty rigging job and customized in many ways, then Hennessey is the answer closest to you.

    Running electronics isn't hard. You can do it yourself pretty easily. If you've ever installed a car stereo, you can install electronics.
