You know what proper marine electronics installation looks like. Clean connections, sealed transducer holes, and systems that integrate seamlessly without turning your dash into a mess of random holes.
That’s exactly what you get here. No shortcuts, no water damage discoveries years later, no wondering where that random wire goes. Every connection is done right the first time, following NMEA standards that actually matter.
Your boat deserves electronics that enhance your time on the water, not create new problems to solve.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been handling marine electronics for discerning boat owners who understand the difference between a quick install and professional work. We’re NMEA certified technicians who treat your investment with the respect it deserves.
Located in Halesite, we serve the Long Island boating community with the kind of attention to detail that keeps customers coming back. When you’ve seen what poor installation work can do to a boat, you appreciate craftsmen who do it right.
Our heated, year-round facility means your project doesn’t wait for good weather. Your boat gets the time and care it needs, when you need it done.
First, we discuss your specific needs and provide a detailed estimate with labor costs and complete parts lists. No vague quotes or surprise charges later.
Next, we conduct an on-site analysis of your boat, documenting existing systems and taking precise measurements. If custom fabrication is needed for optimal equipment placement, we handle that in-house.
Installation follows NMEA standards for proper grounding, wire sizing, and over-current protection. Every connection is sealed correctly, every wire is routed cleanly, and every system is tested thoroughly before you take delivery.

We handle everything from GPS chartplotters and fishfinders to complete marine audio systems and custom wiring. Whether you need a single component upgrade or full electronics integration, we have the capabilities.
Our services include navigation systems installation, fishfinder and sonar setup, boat stereo and audio integration, custom marine wiring, and electrical system troubleshooting. We work with all major brands including Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, and Furuno.
Long Island’s marine environment demands proper installation techniques. Salt air and moisture don’t forgive shortcuts. That’s why we use marine-grade components, proper sealing techniques, and follow manufacturer specifications exactly. Your electronics will perform reliably season after season.
Most standard installations take 2-3 hours depending on the complexity and routing requirements. A basic GPS/fishfinder combo on a boat with existing wiring might be completed in 2 hours, while a complete navigation system with radar, autopilot, and audio integration could take a full day or more.
The timeline depends on several factors: the condition of your boat’s existing electrical system, whether custom mounting or fabrication is needed, and how many systems need integration. We provide accurate time estimates after evaluating your specific boat and requirements.
Our heated indoor facility means weather never delays your project, and we schedule installations to minimize disruption to your boating schedule.
Our installation includes everything needed for a complete, professional setup. We handle mounting, wiring, system integration, and thorough testing of all components. All connections are made following NMEA standards with proper marine-grade materials.
You get detailed documentation of the installation including wire routing, fuse locations, and system settings. We also provide operation training so you understand how to use your new equipment effectively.
Post-installation support includes troubleshooting assistance and warranty service coordination with manufacturers. We stand behind our work and want your electronics performing flawlessly for years to come.
Yes, we specialize in integrating new electronics with existing boat systems. Whether you’re adding to current equipment or upgrading individual components, we ensure seamless integration without disrupting working systems.
We evaluate your current setup first, identifying any wiring issues or compatibility concerns before beginning work. If your existing electrical system needs upgrades to support new equipment safely, we handle that too.
Our NMEA certification and factory authorizations with major manufacturers mean we understand how different systems communicate and integrate. The result is a cohesive electronics package that works together as intended.
Absolutely. We work on all types of vessels from center console fishing boats to luxury yachts and sailing vessels. Each type of boat presents unique installation challenges and requirements, which our experience covers thoroughly.
Powerboats often need robust fishfinder and navigation setups for offshore fishing, while sailboats require different approaches for instrument integration and power management. We understand these distinctions and tailor our installations accordingly.
Whether you’re running a 25-foot center console or a 60-foot yacht, we have the tools, facility space, and expertise to handle your marine electronics professionally.
We install and service all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, Furuno, Lowrance, and Humminbird. Being factory authorized for major brands means we have access to technical support, warranty service, and the latest product training.
This broad manufacturer support gives you flexibility in choosing equipment that fits your specific needs and budget. We can recommend the best options for your type of boating and help you avoid compatibility issues.
Our technicians stay current with new product releases and installation techniques through ongoing manufacturer training. Whether you’re upgrading legacy equipment or installing the latest technology, we have the expertise to do it right.
Proper sealing is critical in marine electronics installation, and we take it seriously. Every through-hull penetration is sealed with marine-grade sealants and backing plates where appropriate. Transducer installations include proper bedding compounds and gaskets to prevent water intrusion.
We’ve seen the damage that poor installation can cause – transducer holes that weren’t sealed properly, leading to gallons of water in the transom. That’s why we follow manufacturer specifications exactly and use only marine-rated materials designed for the harsh marine environment.
All electrical connections are made with marine-grade wire, proper terminals, and heat shrink protection. Our installations are designed to withstand salt spray, vibration, and temperature extremes without compromising your boat’s integrity or safety.
