Hear from Our Customers
Your boat isn’t just transportation—it’s your escape from everything else. When you’re heading out to Huntington Bay or making the run to Block Island, you need electronics that work every single time.
We install marine electronics the way they should be installed. Waterproof connections that stay waterproof. GPS systems that actually know where you are when the fog rolls in. Audio systems that sound clear over engine noise and wind.
No shortcuts. No generic car stereo components that’ll corrode in six months. Just professional marine-grade installations that handle whatever Long Island Sound throws at them.
Legacy Motors and Marine brings the same precision and attention to detail to marine electronics that we apply to exotic car storage. We understand that boat owners in Northport aren’t looking for the cheapest option—they want it done right.
Our facility in Port Jefferson Station gives us direct access to Long Island’s boating community. We’ve worked on everything from weekend fishing boats to luxury yachts, and we know the difference between marine-grade components and hardware store substitutes.
When you’re dealing with saltwater, vibration, and temperature swings, every connection matters. That’s why we take the time to do it properly the first time.
First, we assess your boat and discuss exactly what you want to accomplish. Whether it’s upgrading your stereo system, adding a fishfinder, or installing a complete navigation setup, we plan the installation around your boat’s layout and your specific needs.
Next, we handle all the custom wiring and electrical work. This means marine-grade wire, proper waterproof connections, and routing that protects cables from damage. We don’t just zip-tie things in place and call it good.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before your boat leaves our facility. Your GPS coordinates are calibrated, your audio levels are balanced, and every connection is secure. You’ll know how to operate everything before you head out on the water.

Every marine electronics installation includes marine-grade wiring, waterproof connections, and proper mounting that won’t damage your boat’s finish. We use brands that are built for marine environments—Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad—not consumer electronics that happen to be waterproof.
For Northport boat owners, we understand the specific challenges of Long Island waters. Your GPS needs to handle the transition from protected harbors to open ocean. Your fishfinder needs to work in both shallow bays and deeper offshore waters.
We also provide complete documentation of your installation, including wiring diagrams and warranty information. If you ever need service or want to add components later, you’ll have everything you need.
Most installations take 2-3 days depending on complexity. A simple stereo upgrade might be done in a day, while a complete navigation and audio system with custom wiring takes longer.
We don’t rush installations because marine environments are unforgiving. Every connection needs to be properly sealed and secured. We’d rather take the extra time to do it right than have you deal with failures on the water.
During peak season, we recommend scheduling 1-2 weeks in advance. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when you bring your boat in, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
We handle everything from 20-foot center consoles to luxury yachts. The principles are the same—marine-grade components, proper installation techniques, and attention to detail.
Smaller boats often need creative solutions for mounting and wire routing. Larger vessels might require more complex integration with existing systems. We have experience with both scenarios.
What matters most is understanding how you use your boat. A fishing boat needs different electronics than a cruising yacht, and we tailor every installation accordingly.
We work with established marine electronics manufacturers—Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno, and others. These companies build equipment specifically for marine use, not consumer electronics with waterproof cases.
The brand choice depends on your specific needs and budget. Garmin tends to be user-friendly and integrates well with other systems. Raymarine offers excellent radar and autopilot options. Simrad is popular with serious fishermen.
We’ll recommend the best fit for your boat and how you use it. We don’t push specific brands—we focus on what will work best for your situation.
Yes, integration is often more complex than starting fresh, but it’s definitely doable. We can usually tie new components into existing NMEA networks, power systems, and display units.
The key is understanding what you already have and how it communicates. Older systems might need adapters or converters to work with newer equipment. Sometimes it makes more sense to upgrade the entire system.
We’ll evaluate your current setup and explain your options. Sometimes partial upgrades work perfectly. Other times, a complete refresh gives you better functionality and reliability.
All our installation work comes with a one-year warranty on labor. Equipment warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from one to three years.
If something fails due to our installation work, we’ll fix it at no charge. If a component fails due to manufacturing defect, we’ll handle the warranty claim with the manufacturer.
We also provide detailed documentation of your installation, including photos and wiring diagrams. This helps with any future service needs and proves proper installation for warranty claims.
We provide ongoing maintenance and service for systems we install. This includes software updates, seasonal checkups, and troubleshooting when issues arise.
Marine electronics need regular attention—connections can corrode, software needs updates, and settings drift over time. We recommend annual checkups, especially for boats that sit unused during winter months.
We also offer emergency service during boating season. If your GPS fails the night before a fishing tournament or your radio stops working during a weekend trip, we’ll prioritize getting you back on the water.
