This is a small shop and service team that sells, fits and repairs the electronics on fishing boats: GPS sets, fish finders (echo sounders that show fish below the boat), marine radios, distress alert devices, navigation lights, batteries and wiring. Most jobs are done on the boat at the jetty.
Visakhapatnam's fishing harbour is one of the biggest on the east coast, with hundreds of mechanised boats that stay at sea for days. Salt water and engine shaking wear out their electronics fast, and a broken GPS or radio can cost a trip or put a crew at risk. NABARD's 2023-24 credit plan for the district puts fisheries credit potential at ₹28.63 cr and notes the natural fishing harbour.
You need a trained electronics technician, marine wiring skills, GST, and tie-ups with equipment dealers for spares and warranty work. Check the telecom department's current rules before you sell or fit marine radios. The hard part is cash: many boat owners pay only after a good catch, and cheap imported sets keep prices low.
Work picks up during the yearly fishing ban from mid-April to mid-June, when boats sit in the harbour for repairs. Make boat owners' associations and engine and net mechanics your referral partners, and keep common spares in stock.
