Hear from Our Customers
Your boat deserves electronics that enhance every moment on the water, not create frustration when you’re trying to enjoy Fire Island’s pristine waters. You get navigation systems that guide you confidently through Great South Bay, entertainment systems that turn your vessel into the perfect social hub, and fishfinders that actually help you locate the best spots around the barrier islands.
When your marine electronics are installed correctly the first time, you spend your weekends exploring instead of troubleshooting. Every system integrates seamlessly, every connection stays solid through rough weather, and every feature works exactly as the manufacturer intended.
No more dealing with intermittent radar failures or audio systems that cut out during your best gatherings. Just reliable, professional-grade electronics that match the caliber of vessel you’ve invested in.
Legacy Motors and Marine brings over 40 years of marine electronics expertise to Fire Island Pines boat owners who expect more than basic installation. Based in Port Jefferson Station, we understand the unique demands of Long Island’s marine environment and the sophisticated needs of the Fire Island boating community.
Our team holds certifications with every major marine electronics manufacturer and maintains ABYC Certified Electrician credentials. This isn’t a side business or seasonal operation—it’s a dedicated focus on preserving and enhancing luxury vessels through precision electronics installation.
Fire Island Pines represents some of the most expensive maritime real estate on the East Coast, and boat owners here expect service that matches that standard. We deliver the white-glove experience that respects both your time and your investment.
The process starts with understanding exactly what you want to achieve with your marine electronics upgrade. Whether you’re adding navigation systems for confident offshore cruising or installing premium audio for Fire Island’s legendary social scene, we assess your current setup and recommend solutions that integrate properly.
Installation happens at our climate-controlled facility in Port Jefferson Station, where your vessel receives the same care as the exotic cars and yachts we store. Every connection is made to NMEA standards, every wire is properly gauged and protected, and every system is thoroughly tested before your boat leaves our facility.
You receive complete documentation of all work performed, including system manuals and warranty information. We also provide hands-on training so you understand how to use your new electronics effectively, ensuring you get maximum value from your investment.
Ready to get started?
Legacy Motors and Marine handles the full spectrum of marine electronics, from basic GPS installations to complete bridge retrofits with multiple large-format displays. We install and service navigation systems, radar, sonar, fishfinders, autopilot systems, and premium marine audio from all major manufacturers including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and Furuno.
Fire Island Pines boat owners particularly appreciate our expertise with integrated entertainment systems that can be controlled directly from multifunction displays, eliminating dashboard clutter while providing full functionality. We also specialize in custom wiring solutions that accommodate the unique layouts common in luxury yachts and performance boats.
Our facility offers both indoor and outdoor storage options, so your vessel stays protected during extended installation projects. This is especially valuable for Fire Island boat owners who need work completed during the off-season, ensuring everything is ready for the next boating season without losing valuable summer days.
Installation timeframes depend on the complexity of your project and the specific systems being installed. A basic GPS and fishfinder installation typically takes 1-2 days, while comprehensive upgrades involving multiple displays, radar, autopilot, and integrated audio systems can require 5-10 days.
We provide accurate time estimates upfront and work efficiently to minimize your boat’s downtime. We maintain a climate-controlled facility where your vessel stays protected during extended projects, and we coordinate timing to ensure work is completed well before you need your boat for the season.
For Fire Island Pines boat owners, we often recommend scheduling major installations during the off-season, so your vessel is ready to enjoy from the first warm weekend through the end of summer.
We install and service electronics from all major marine manufacturers, including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno, Lowrance, and others. We hold certifications with every manufacturer that offers certification programs and are certified for warranty work on Simrad, Garmin, and Raymarine products.
This comprehensive manufacturer relationship means you get genuine parts, proper installation procedures, and full warranty coverage on your new electronics. We stay current with the latest technology releases and can recommend the best systems for your specific boating needs and budget.
Whether you prefer a particular brand or want recommendations based on functionality, we provide honest guidance based on decades of experience with what works best in Long Island’s marine environment.
Yes, proper integration is one of our specialties. Modern marine electronics use NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 protocols that allow different systems to share data and be controlled from central displays. This means your GPS can share position data with your autopilot, your fishfinder can display on your chartplotter, and your audio system can be controlled from your multifunction display.
We carefully assess your existing systems during the planning phase to ensure new electronics integrate properly without conflicts. We use proper network design principles to avoid data bottlenecks and ensure reliable communication between all systems.
Our ABYC certification and manufacturer training ensures we understand the technical requirements for proper integration, so you get a cohesive system rather than a collection of individual components that don’t work well together.
Absolutely. Training is included with every installation because the most sophisticated electronics are worthless if you don’t know how to use them effectively. After installation is complete, we provide comprehensive hands-on training covering all the features and functions of your new systems.
This training is tailored to your specific boating needs. If you’re primarily interested in navigation, we focus on route planning, waypoint management, and radar interpretation. If fishing is your priority, we demonstrate advanced sonar features, GPS marking, and integration with trolling motors.
We also provide written documentation and are always available for follow-up questions as you become more familiar with your systems. Many Fire Island Pines boat owners appreciate this ongoing support, especially when they want to explore advanced features during the boating season.
You receive full manufacturer warranty coverage on all electronics, plus our installation warranty covering our workmanship. Manufacturer warranties typically range from 2-3 years depending on the specific product, while our installation warranty covers the quality of connections, mounting, and configuration.
Being certified for warranty service on major brands means we can handle most warranty issues directly, without requiring you to ship equipment elsewhere or deal with multiple service providers. This is particularly valuable for Fire Island boat owners who want quick resolution of any issues.
We maintain detailed installation records and provide complete documentation with your project, which helps ensure smooth warranty service if ever needed. Our goal is installations that never require warranty service, but you have complete protection if issues arise.
While we can handle some service calls at Fire Island Pines Marina, major installations are best performed at our Port Jefferson Station facility where we have proper tools, parts inventory, and climate-controlled conditions. This ensures the highest quality installation and protects your electronics during the process.
For Fire Island boat owners, we often recommend bringing boats to our facility during the off-season for major upgrades, then providing any needed seasonal service or adjustments at the marina. This approach maximizes your time on the water during prime boating season.
We understand the logistics of Fire Island boating and work with your schedule to minimize inconvenience. Many clients appreciate having major work done during winter months, so their vessel is ready for immediate enjoyment when warm weather returns to Great South Bay.
