GARMIN GPS-RADAR-MFD-AUTOPILOT-SONAR-LIVESCOPE INSTALLATION CHARLESTON SC
This 2027 Parker 254 Fathom came equipped with a Garmin 1243xsv — already a very capable multifunction display. But this owner had something bigger in mind. He wanted the largest, highest-resolution twin displays we could fit into the helm.
Our team designed and installed a custom layout featuring twin Garmin 9217xsv displays, integrated with Yamaha's autopilot system and connected through Garmin's high-speed BlueNet network.
The result is a fully integrated helm that brings together the twin Yamaha outboards, Seakeeper RIDE, autopilot, Power-Pole ONE Pump, sonar, and navigation. The captain can choose what information to display on either screen.
We also planned for future expansion. If the owner decides to add a Garmin Kraken trolling motor, the system is ready for integration and control from either display.
One helm. Two incredible displays. Everything working together.

More than just cutting holes in your dash and plugging in power wires
At Charleston Marine, we do a lot more than simply mount Garmin equipment on your boat. We design, install, and integrate complete Garmin systems that bring navigation, sonar, radar, autopilot, engine information, and boat controls together into one seamless experience.
Whether you're upgrading a single chartplotter, adding Garmin LiveScope, installing a Force or Kraken trolling motor, or building a fully integrated helm with multiple multifunction displays, our team has the experience and technical knowledge to get the job done right.
We understand that every boat, every helm, and every owner's needs are different. From selecting the right equipment and designing custom display layouts to precision mounting, wiring, networking, configuration, and on-water testing, we pay attention to the details that make an installation look factory-built and perform exactly as intended.
Our experience includes Garmin GPSMAP chartplotters, traditional and scanning sonar, Panoptix LiveScope, marine radar, Reactor autopilot systems, Garmin BlueNet networking, NMEA 2000 integration, and Garmin Force and Kraken trolling motors.
The difference isn't just what we install. It's how everything works together when we're finished.
Charleston Marine proudly serves boat owners throughout Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Summerville, and the surrounding South Carolina Lowcountry.
