We are not only a supplier. We have our own engineers, we are based on the water at Mercury Yacht Harbour in Hamble, and we fit and service the equipment we sell. For most boat owners that is the difference between a box arriving and a system that works.
What we do
- Supply and installation of chartplotters and multifunction displays, radar, autopilots, instruments, AIS, VHF, satellite communications, entertainment and digital switching.
- Transducer fitting, including through-hull work.
- Networking and integration, getting new equipment talking to what is already aboard.
- Fault finding and repair, including on equipment you did not buy from us.
- Warranty work as an authorised dealer for the brands we sell, handled through us rather than you chasing a manufacturer.
- Software and chart updates, and commissioning after a refit.
Why it matters on a boat
Marine electronics rarely fail because the box was faulty. They fail because of the cable run, the power supply, the mounting position, the network topology or two devices that were never going to talk to each other. Buying the right unit is the easy part. Ask us before you order and we will tell you what will actually work with what you already have.
Where we work
We are based at Mercury Yacht Harbour, Satchell Lane, Hamble, and we work on vessels across the Solent, including Southampton, the Hamble river, Portsmouth, Gosport, Fareham, Lymington, Beaulieu, Poole, Chichester and the Isle of Wight. Ask about anywhere else and we will tell you honestly whether we can get to you.
How to get a job booked
Tell us as much of the following as you can and we will come back to you with what it involves:
- Boat make, model and year
- Where she is lying
- What you want doing, or what is not working
- What equipment is already fitted, if you know
- Whether it is urgent, planned, or part of a refit
Photographs of the existing installation and the back of the panel are genuinely useful. Email them to info@hudsonmarine.co.uk or call 023 8045 5129, Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm.
