Thinking about getting all my electronics and TM upgraded. I want it done right. Does anyone know a place or someone they would suggest in or around the Houston area? Thanks in advance.

G&S Trolling Motors would probably be your best bet around Houston. But if you really want it done right I'd do some research (BBC is a good place to start), block off a weekend, and do it yourself. My experience has been that "mechanics and riggers" always claim they do it right but when you have a problem you find out they didn't.
I've managed to install a number of graphs, transducers, trolling motors, GPS pucks, etc over the years and I'm just a regular dude. You can do it! Or call G&S.

I agree, do it yourself. May take longer, but when you have an issue ull be glad.
Remember "done right" is subjective and up for interpretation. What do you consider "done right"?

Doing your own does help troubleshoot any thing later. Of course you might be the reason it needs trouble shooting in the first place….lol. I do all my own. I am pretty meticulous on what I do on my boat. I have been known to do some things several times before I like it.
