Services & Rigging / Flint, Texas
Marine service, electronics, and tournament-ready rigging from Whistler Marine Center. Get your boat ready for the early launch, the long fishing day, and the next trip that matters to you.
The Whistler approach
Andrew Whistler's background in marine service, electronics, and rigging is at the heart of Whistler Marine Center.
Our family-owned shop in Flint brings that hands-on focus to every service conversation. What do you fish for? What is your boat doing now? What would you like it to do better? Those answers help shape the work, whether you need maintenance, a graph upgrade, or a more complete fishing setup.
You bring the boat and the goals. Let's work through the details.
Marine service & repair
An engine that will not start. A warning you have not seen before. A service interval you know is coming. Bring the concern to Whistler before your next day on the water.
Our Mercury and Yamaha certified technicians bring an engine-specific approach to maintenance and troubleshooting. Share how you use the boat and its service history, and let us help you plan the work it needs before the next launch.
Bass boat & tournament rigging
There is a difference between adding equipment and planning a fishing boat. Screen placement, trolling-motor access, cable routing, and room to move all deserve attention before the first bracket goes on.
Work with Whistler on a new-boat rig or an upgrade to the boat you already know. Start with the equipment you use, identify what is missing, and discuss a layout that keeps the deck usable and the installation accessible for future service.
Electronics & forward-facing sonar
A new graph should fit the way you fish, not leave you wondering how everything connects. Whistler helps you plan marine electronics around your boat, your existing equipment, and what you want to see from the bow and console.
Talk Garmin, Humminbird, and Lowrance options, forward-facing sonar, transducer placement, display mounts, and power needs. Equipment compatibility comes first, whether you are adding one unit or coordinating several displays.
Already fighting an intermittent screen, connection issue, or an installation that never felt right? Tell us what happens and when it happens so we can discuss the next step.
Power, control & the details between
Your fishing day depends on more than the engine that gets you there. Give the rest of your boat the same attention.
From Minn Kota installations to trolling-motor service, bring Whistler your control and reliability concerns. Discuss the motor, mounting arrangement, and electrical requirements together so the upgrade fits your boat.
More equipment makes power planning worth a closer look. Talk through lithium options, charging compatibility, battery condition, and the demands of your electronics and trolling motor before choosing an upgrade.
A pump concern, troublesome switch, or accessory that needs a better home deserves attention, too. Ask about livewell and bilge-system concerns, shallow-water anchors, and accessory rigging for your particular boat.
Performance starts with the setup
Getting on plane, carrying your fishing load, and feeling confident at the wheel belong in the conversation—not just top speed.
Tell Andrew and the crew what has changed, what feels off, and what you want to improve. Ask about a setup review covering your current rigging, propeller choice, load, and the options appropriate to your hull and outboard.
The starting point is understanding the boat you have. Any proposed adjustment should respect manufacturer specifications and the limits of that particular setup.
Setup work is evaluated individually. Contact the team to confirm available testing, adjustments, and service scope.
Before the next tournament. Before the next season.
Have a tournament date or a fishing trip coming up? Bring that timeline into the service conversation early. Ask Whistler about a readiness review built around your boat and your concerns.
Discuss battery condition, charging, connections, graph operation, and trolling-motor performance. Mention any shutdowns, weak power, or intermittent problems.
Put livewells, bilge operation, switches, mounts, and accessory concerns on the list. Small frustrations are easier to discuss at the shop than during a fishing day.
Bring your engine information, known hours, and available service records. Review upcoming maintenance and any starting, running, trim, or warning-light concerns.
Appointment timing depends on the work required and parts availability. A requested date is not a confirmed completion date.
Let's get started
Share the year, make, model, engine, and installed equipment. Describe the problem or upgrade and include your preferred timeline.
Request a review of the proposed scope, parts, estimate, and scheduling. Make compatibility and priorities part of the plan before authorizing work.
At pickup, ask about the work completed, equipment operation, and future maintenance. Leave with your questions answered and your next service needs on the radar.
Before you bring it in
Whistler's services include electronics upgrades, rigging, trolling motors, and power-system work. Share your boat and equipment details so the team can confirm which options are appropriate for your installation.
Contact Whistler before purchasing or dropping off equipment. Provide the exact models and any included mounts, cables, or accessories. The team can discuss compatibility, installation availability, and applicable service terms.
Not every project calls for the same scope. Existing wiring, connections, equipment requirements, and installation condition need to be considered before deciding what can stay and what should change.
Contact the shop as early as possible and share your event date. Diagnostics, ordered parts, and larger installations can affect scheduling. Confirm the appointment and expected timeline with Whistler before making plans around completion.
Service the engine. Upgrade the rig. Plan the next season. Start with Whistler Marine Center in Flint, Texas.
