Hear from Our Customers
You’re done dealing with marine electronics that don’t talk to each other. No more intermittent radar failures from bad wiring. No more audio systems that cut out when you fire up the engines.
When your marine electronics are installed correctly the first time, everything works together. Your GPS integrates seamlessly with your autopilot. Your fishfinder shares data with your chartplotter. Your stereo system delivers clear sound whether you’re anchored or running at full throttle.
That’s what happens when experienced technicians handle the installation instead of rushing through another job. Your boat’s electronics become a cohesive system that enhances every trip on the water.
Legacy Motors and Marine brings the same precision and attention to detail to marine electronics that we apply to luxury vehicle storage and maintenance. We understand that boat owners in Hauppauge expect professional service without the typical industry frustrations.
Our technicians are NMEA certified and factory-trained on the major marine electronics brands. We’ve seen too many expensive installations fail because of shortcuts in wiring, improper connections, or lack of system integration knowledge.
Long Island’s boating community deserves better than hand-scribbled quotes and missed installation dates. That’s why we approach every marine electronics project with the same level of professionalism our luxury car clients expect.
First, we assess your current setup and discuss your specific needs. Whether you’re upgrading navigation systems, installing custom audio, or rewiring electrical systems, we create a detailed plan before any work begins.
Next comes the installation phase. Our technicians use proper gauge wiring, marine-grade connections, and follow ABYC standards for all electrical work. Every connection is properly crimped and sealed. Fuses are installed where they belong. We prevent galvanic corrosion issues that destroy expensive equipment.
Finally, we test every system to ensure proper integration and function. You get a complete walkthrough of your new electronics, plus documentation of all work performed. No guesswork, no shortcuts, no callbacks to fix problems that shouldn’t exist.

Every boat is different. Your 35-foot center console has different requirements than a 50-foot yacht. That’s why we don’t use cookie-cutter approaches to marine electronics installation.
Hauppauge boat owners often cruise Long Island Sound, fish the Atlantic, or enjoy leisurely trips through the Great South Bay. Your electronics setup should match how you actually use your boat. Navigation systems optimized for local waters. Audio systems that perform whether you’re entertaining guests or running offshore.
We specialize in custom integration that makes sense for your specific vessel and boating style. From simple fishfinder installations to complete electronics packages with radar, autopilot, and entertainment systems, every installation is planned and executed to professional standards.
Installation time depends on the complexity of your project and the current state of your boat’s electrical system. A basic fishfinder or GPS unit might take half a day, while a complete electronics refit with radar, autopilot, and custom audio could take several days.
We provide realistic timeframes upfront, not optimistic estimates that leave you waiting. Complex installations require proper planning, quality connections, and thorough testing. Rushing the job creates the problems you’re trying to avoid.
Most importantly, we stick to our scheduled dates. When we commit to starting your project on Tuesday, we’re there Tuesday morning with everything needed to complete the work properly.
We install and service all major marine electronics manufacturers including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno, Lowrance, and others. Our technicians maintain factory certifications with these brands to ensure warranty coverage and proper installation procedures.
The brand you choose matters less than having it installed correctly. A $5,000 chartplotter becomes worthless if it’s wired improperly or can’t communicate with your other systems. We focus on creating integrated solutions regardless of which manufacturers you prefer.
We can also help you select the right equipment for your specific needs and budget. Not every boat needs the most expensive electronics package, but every installation deserves professional-grade workmanship.
Yes, we specialize in custom marine audio installations that actually work in the marine environment. Marine audio systems face challenges that home or car stereos never encounter – salt air, engine vibration, electrical interference, and the need to perform at various speeds and conditions.
We design audio systems around how you use your boat. Entertaining at anchor requires different speaker placement and power than cruising at 30 knots. We use marine-grade components, proper amplifier sizing, and strategic speaker placement to deliver clear sound in all conditions.
Custom installations can include everything from basic stereo upgrades to full entertainment systems with multiple zones, wireless connectivity, and integration with your boat’s existing electronics. Every system is designed and installed to handle the unique demands of marine use.
Our electrical services cover everything from basic wiring repairs to complete system overhauls. This includes proper DC and AC wiring, battery management systems, charging system upgrades, and integration of new electronics with existing electrical systems.
We follow ABYC standards for all marine electrical work, which means proper wire sizing, marine-grade connections, appropriate circuit protection, and corrosion prevention. These standards exist because electrical problems on boats can be dangerous and expensive.
Common electrical services include rewiring older boats, installing battery monitors, upgrading charging systems, adding inverters for AC power, and troubleshooting electrical problems that other shops couldn’t solve. Every electrical modification is documented and tested to ensure safe, reliable operation.
Most marine electronics problems stem from poor installation practices – inadequate connections, wrong wire gauges, improper grounding, and lack of system integration planning. We prevent these issues by following proper installation procedures from the start.
Every connection is made with marine-grade terminals and properly sealed against moisture. We use the correct wire gauge for each application and install appropriate circuit protection. Grounding systems are designed to prevent electrical interference and corrosion issues.
System integration is planned before installation begins. Your GPS, radar, autopilot, and audio systems should work together seamlessly, not fight each other for power or create interference. Proper planning and installation eliminate the callbacks and repairs that plague rushed installations.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive support after installation. This includes warranty coverage on our workmanship, assistance with system operation, and ongoing maintenance services to keep your electronics performing properly.
Marine electronics require periodic maintenance and updates. Software updates, connection inspections, and performance optimization help prevent problems before they affect your time on the water. We provide these services as part of maintaining the investment you’ve made in quality installation.
If issues do arise, we respond quickly to diagnose and resolve problems. Our goal is to ensure your marine electronics continue performing reliably for years after installation. That’s the difference between professional installation and the quick jobs that create ongoing headaches.
