You didn’t invest in your vessel to deal with electronics that fail when you’re miles offshore. Professional marine electronics installation means your GPS guides you home safely, your fishfinder shows you exactly what’s below, and your audio system delivers crystal-clear sound even in rough seas.
When your electronics are installed correctly the first time, you spend more time enjoying the water and less time troubleshooting problems. Your navigation systems integrate seamlessly, your electrical systems operate safely, and your investment maintains its value through proper installation practices.
The difference between amateur and professional installation shows up when it matters most – when you’re navigating challenging waters, tracking fish in deep channels, or entertaining guests who expect everything to work flawlessly.
Legacy Motors and Marine brings the same attention to detail we apply to luxury vehicle storage to marine electronics installation. We know that your boat or yacht represents a significant investment, and every wire, connection, and mounting point matters.
Our facility in Port Jefferson Station serves discerning boat owners throughout Long Island, including the Ponquogue and Hampton Bays areas. We understand the unique challenges of marine electronics on Long Island waters – from the salt air that corrodes poor connections to the rough seas that test every mounting point.
The same clients who trust us with their exotic cars and luxury yachts rely on us for electronics installation that matches their standards. We don’t cut corners because we know you don’t either.
We start with a detailed consultation to understand your specific needs and how you use your vessel. Whether you’re fishing the Montauk Point area, cruising Shinnecock Bay, or heading offshore, your electronics setup should match your boating style.
Next, we create a custom installation plan that integrates new electronics with existing systems without compromising your vessel’s integrity. We use marine-grade wiring, proper gauge cables, and weatherproof connections that withstand Long Island’s challenging marine environment.
During installation, we protect your vessel’s interior and ensure clean, professional mounting that looks factory-installed. Every connection is properly sealed, every wire is secured, and every system is thoroughly tested before we consider the job complete. You receive documentation of all work performed and warranty coverage for complete peace of mind.

Our marine electronics installation covers the full range of systems that serious boaters depend on. GPS and chartplotter installation ensures you can navigate Long Island’s complex waterways with confidence, from the shallow waters around Fire Island to the deep channels leading to Montauk.
Fishfinder and sonar installation maximizes your success on Long Island’s productive fishing grounds. We properly mount transducers for optimal performance and integrate displays for easy viewing from your helm position.
Custom marine audio systems create the perfect atmosphere for entertaining or relaxing on the water. We install marine-grade speakers, amplifiers, and head units that deliver excellent sound quality while withstanding the harsh marine environment. Complete electrical system integration ensures all components work together reliably, with proper power distribution and circuit protection throughout your vessel.
Installation timeframes depend on the complexity of your project and the specific electronics being installed. A basic GPS and fishfinder installation typically takes one to two days, while comprehensive systems with multiple displays, audio integration, and custom wiring may require three to five days.
We provide detailed timelines during our initial consultation and keep you informed throughout the process. Our goal is to complete your installation efficiently while maintaining the quality standards your vessel deserves. We never rush installations because proper marine electronics work requires careful attention to detail and thorough testing.
We install all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, Lowrance, and others. Our technicians stay current with the latest technology from leading manufacturers to ensure you have access to the most advanced systems available.
We help you select the right brands and models based on your specific boating needs, vessel size, and budget. Some clients prefer Garmin for its user-friendly interface, while others choose Raymarine for advanced integration capabilities. We provide honest recommendations based on your actual usage patterns rather than pushing any particular brand.
Yes, we offer mobile installation services throughout Long Island, including marinas in the Ponquogue, Hampton Bays, and surrounding areas. Our mobile service brings professional installation directly to your vessel, whether it’s in a slip, on a trailer, or in dry storage.
Mobile installation is particularly convenient for busy boat owners who can’t easily transport their vessels to our facility. We bring all necessary tools and equipment to complete most installations on-site. For complex projects requiring specialized equipment or extensive fabrication work, we may recommend bringing your vessel to our climate-controlled facility for optimal working conditions.
Proper waterproofing is critical for marine electronics longevity, especially in Long Island’s challenging salt-air environment. We use only marine-grade components including waterproof connectors, sealed cable passages, and appropriate gaskets for all through-hull penetrations.
Every connection point receives proper sealing with marine-grade sealants and heat-shrink tubing designed for marine applications. We follow ABYC standards for all electrical work and ensure proper drainage for any areas where water might accumulate. Display units are mounted with appropriate backing plates and sealed properly to prevent water intrusion behind panels.
All completed installations undergo thorough testing including water exposure tests where appropriate to verify waterproof integrity before delivery.
We provide comprehensive warranty coverage on both our installation workmanship and the electronics we install. Our workmanship warranty covers all wiring, connections, and mounting work for a full year from completion date.
Equipment warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from one to three years for major components. We handle all warranty service directly, so you have a single point of contact for any issues that arise. Our warranty covers both parts and labor for covered repairs.
We also provide ongoing support and service for systems we install, including software updates, routine maintenance, and system upgrades as your needs evolve. This long-term relationship approach ensures your marine electronics continue performing reliably for years to come.
Integration with existing systems is one of our specialties, particularly important for luxury vessels with complex existing electronics packages. We carefully assess your current setup and design integration plans that enhance functionality without disrupting working systems.
Modern marine electronics often communicate through NMEA networks, allowing seamless data sharing between GPS, autopilot, radar, and other systems. We ensure proper network configuration so all components can share information effectively. For older systems, we provide appropriate interface solutions to bridge compatibility gaps.
Our integration work includes connecting new displays to existing transducers when possible, linking audio systems to existing speakers, and ensuring new navigation equipment communicates properly with autopilot and other helm systems. The result is a cohesive system that operates as if everything was installed together originally.
