Your investment stays protected, your time stays productive.

North Bay Shore Marine Electronics Specialists

We Actually Know What We're Doing

Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving North Bay Shore boat owners who refuse to settle for amateur work. We understand that your boat represents a significant investment, and every electronic system needs to perform flawlessly in the marine environment. Our team holds proper certifications and uses marine-grade components exclusively. We’ve seen too many boats come in with corroded connections, wrong gauge wire, and systems installed by people who learned electronics in cars, not boats. North Bay Shore waters demand equipment that handles salt spray, constant vibration, and temperature extremes. We install systems that last, backed by warranties that mean something.

Marine Electronics Installation Process

No Surprises, No Shortcuts, No Problems

First, we assess your boat and discuss exactly what you need. No vague estimates or handwritten quotes. You get a detailed proposal that covers equipment, installation, and timeline. Installation happens at our facility or we come to you, depending on your boat size and preference. We use proper marine wiring techniques, sealed connections, and appropriate circuit protection. Every wire gets labeled, every connection gets tested. Before you take delivery, we walk you through every system. You learn how everything works, where important components are located, and how to troubleshoot basic issues. You’re not left guessing how to use equipment you just paid for.

Complete Marine Electronics Solutions

Everything Your Boat Needs to Perform

We handle GPS chartplotters, fishfinders, marine stereo systems, radar installation, autopilot systems, and custom marine wiring. Every brand you’ve heard of, plus specialty equipment for serious offshore fishing. North Bay Shore boaters deal with everything from shallow bay fishing to deep water runs. Your electronics package needs to handle both. We design systems that integrate properly and give you the information you need, when you need it. Custom audio integration means your stereo actually sounds good at cruising speed. Navigation systems get mounted where you can see them clearly. Fishfinder transducers go where they’ll give accurate readings, not just where they’re easy to install.

How long does marine electronics installation typically take?

Installation time depends on the complexity of your system and your boat’s existing wiring. A basic GPS/fishfinder combo might take a day. A complete electronics package with radar, autopilot, and integrated audio system typically requires 3-5 days. We don’t rush installations because marine environments are unforgiving. Every connection gets properly sealed, every wire gets secured correctly, and every system gets thoroughly tested before you take delivery. You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront, and we stick to it. No surprise delays or excuses about parts that didn’t arrive.

What brands of marine electronics do you install?

We install Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno, and other major marine electronics manufacturers. The brand matters less than choosing the right system for how you actually use your boat. Recreational fishing requires different capabilities than serious offshore work. Day cruising needs different features than overnight passages. We match equipment to your real-world usage patterns, not just what’s popular or expensive. All major brands make quality equipment when installed properly. The difference is in features, user interface, and how well different components integrate together.

Do you provide mobile marine electronics installation service?

Yes, we provide mobile installation for larger boats and when it’s more convenient for you. Our mobile service covers North Bay Shore and surrounding Long Island areas. Some installations work better in our shop where we have all tools and fabrication capabilities available. Others make more sense at your marina, especially for boats that are difficult to transport. We’ll recommend the best approach based on your specific installation requirements and boat size. Either way, you get the same quality installation and attention to detail.

How do you prevent corrosion in marine electronics installations?

We use only marine-grade tinned wire, sealed connections, and proper circuit protection on every installation. Regular automotive wire and connectors fail quickly in marine environments due to salt exposure and moisture. Every connection gets heat-shrink tubing and marine-grade sealant. We route wiring away from areas prone to water intrusion and secure everything properly to prevent chafing from boat movement. Proper installation techniques prevent most corrosion problems before they start. We also use appropriate gauge wire for each circuit to prevent voltage drop and heat buildup that accelerates corrosion.

What warranty do you provide on marine electronics installation?

Our installation work comes with a comprehensive warranty that covers workmanship and materials. Equipment warranties are handled directly with manufacturers, but we coordinate any warranty service needed. If something we installed fails due to our workmanship, we fix it at no charge. That includes wiring problems, connection failures, or mounting issues that develop after installation. We stand behind our work because we use proper techniques and quality materials. Most problems with marine electronics come from poor installation, not equipment failure.

Can you integrate new electronics with my existing boat systems?

Integration depends on what you currently have and what you want to add. Modern marine electronics use NMEA networking protocols that allow different systems to share information when properly connected. We can often integrate new GPS systems with existing autopilots, or add fishfinders that display on current chartplotters. Audio systems can be integrated to work with existing speakers or expanded with additional zones. The key is planning the integration properly upfront. Some older equipment has limited integration capabilities, but we can usually find ways to make new and existing systems work together effectively.
