Hear from Our Customers
Your boat’s electronics aren’t just gadgets—they’re your lifeline on the water. When your GPS guides you safely through fog, your fishfinder shows you exactly where the stripers are hiding, and your stereo delivers crystal-clear sound while you’re anchored in Huntington Harbor, that’s when you know the installation was done right.
Most boat owners learn the hard way that marine electronics need more than basic installation. They need someone who understands how saltwater, vibration, and temperature changes affect every connection. Someone who knows that a loose wire at 30 knots isn’t just inconvenient—it’s dangerous.
We handle the technical complexity so you can focus on what matters: enjoying your time on the water. Every installation is tested, sealed, and built to handle whatever Long Island Sound throws at it.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving boat owners throughout Huntington Bay and Long Island Sound for years. We understand the unique challenges of boating in these waters—from the shallow areas near Lloyd Harbor to the busy shipping lanes off Port Jefferson.
Our certified marine electronics technicians have installed systems on everything from weekend fishing boats to luxury yachts. We’ve seen what works and what fails, and we only install electronics that can handle the demanding marine environment you’ll encounter here.
When you’re navigating the waters between Huntington Bay and Oyster Bay, you want electronics you can trust. That’s exactly what we deliver.
First, we assess your vessel and discuss exactly what you want your electronics to do. Are you fishing the deep waters off Montauk? Entertaining guests in Northport Bay? Each use case requires different equipment and placement strategies.
Next, we create a custom wiring plan that integrates seamlessly with your boat’s existing systems. This isn’t about cramming new gear into old spaces—it’s about creating a clean, professional installation that looks like it came from the factory.
Finally, we install, test, and calibrate everything before you leave our facility. You’ll get hands-on training with your new systems, plus documentation for warranty and future service needs. No surprises, no shortcuts, just electronics that work exactly as intended.
Ready to get started?
Our marine electronics installation covers everything from basic stereo upgrades to complete navigation overhauls. We install GPS chartplotters pre-loaded with detailed maps of Long Island Sound, including all the local hazards and fishing spots you need to know about.
Custom marine audio integration means your stereo system works with your boat’s layout, not against it. Whether you want zone control for different areas of your yacht or weatherproof speakers that can handle spray from Huntington Harbor chop, we design systems that fit your specific vessel and usage patterns.
Fishfinder and sonar installation requires precise transducer placement and calibration for local water conditions. We know where to mount these units for optimal performance in the varying depths and bottom compositions you’ll encounter from Huntington Bay to the deeper waters of Long Island Sound.
Most installations take 1-3 days depending on the complexity of your system. A basic stereo upgrade might be completed in a few hours, while a complete navigation and audio overhaul could take several days.
We schedule installations to minimize your time off the water. During peak boating season, we often work extended hours to get you back on Huntington Bay as quickly as possible. Complex installations involving custom wiring or multiple systems require more time, but we’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
We install all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno, and Lowrance. Our focus isn’t on pushing one particular brand—it’s on matching the right equipment to your specific needs and budget.
For navigation systems, we often recommend Garmin for their user-friendly interface and excellent Long Island Sound chart coverage. For fishfinders, Lowrance and Simrad offer excellent performance in our local waters. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision based on how you actually use your boat.
Yes, integration with existing systems is one of our specialties. Most boats already have some electronics, and we’re experts at making new equipment work seamlessly with what you already have.
We can integrate new GPS units with existing autopilot systems, connect fishfinders to your existing display, or add marine audio that works with your current controls. The key is understanding how different systems communicate with each other and ensuring all connections are properly sealed and secured for the marine environment.
Absolutely. All our installations come with comprehensive warranty coverage on both parts and labor. Equipment warranties are handled directly through the manufacturer, while our installation work is covered by our own guarantee.
We stand behind every connection, every mounting bracket, and every piece of custom wiring we install. If you experience any issues related to our installation work, we’ll make it right at no charge. This gives you peace of mind whether you’re fishing off Montauk or cruising through Huntington Harbor.
Marine electronics are specifically designed to handle the harsh conditions on the water—salt spray, constant vibration, temperature extremes, and high humidity. Automotive electronics simply aren’t built for this environment and will fail quickly on a boat.
Marine-grade equipment features sealed connections, corrosion-resistant materials, and shock-resistant mounting systems. The displays are designed to be readable in bright sunlight, and the controls work even with wet hands. Using automotive equipment on a boat isn’t just unreliable—it can be dangerous when your navigation or communication systems fail in challenging conditions.
We work on all types of vessels, from small fishing boats to luxury yachts. Each boat presents unique challenges in terms of space, power requirements, and mounting options, but that’s what makes the work interesting.
Smaller boats require creative solutions to maximize functionality in limited space. Larger yachts allow for more sophisticated systems but require careful planning to integrate everything properly. Whether you have a 20-foot center console or a 60-foot motor yacht, we have the experience and tools to create a professional installation that meets your specific needs and usage patterns.
