Hear from Our Customers
You get marine electronics that function perfectly because we install them correctly the first time. No intermittent radar failures. No callbacks to fix shoddy wiring. No discovering months later that your expensive installation was done with the wrong gauge wire or missing safety fuses.
Your boat’s electronics integrate seamlessly – GPS talking to your autopilot, fishfinder displaying on your chart plotter, audio system responding to your multifunction display. Everything works together because we understand how modern marine electronics actually communicate.
You spend your time on the water instead of dealing with installation problems. Your electronics perform reliably in harsh marine conditions because we use proper marine-grade connections and follow electrical codes that prevent corrosion and system failures.
Legacy Motors and Marine brings four decades of marine electronics expertise to Lafarges Landing boat owners. Our lead technician served in the U.S. Coast Guard as an Electronics Technician, installing radar systems and navigation equipment on vessels where failure wasn’t an option.
We hold certifications from every major marine electronics manufacturer and maintain ABYC Certified Electrician credentials. This isn’t weekend warrior installation work – it’s professional-grade service that matches the caliber of your vessel.
Long Island’s boating community deserves better than the industry standard of missed appointments and half-completed installations. We built our reputation by treating every boat like our own and delivering the level of service that luxury vessel owners expect.
We start with a detailed consultation to understand your specific needs and how you use your vessel. Every installation begins with a comprehensive plan that shows exactly what equipment goes where and how everything integrates.
Our technicians arrive on schedule with the right tools and materials. We protect your vessel’s interior during installation and run all wiring using proper marine-grade materials with appropriate gauge wire and proper fusing for safety.
Before we consider the job complete, we test every system individually and verify all integration functions work correctly. You receive hands-on training for your new equipment so you understand all the features and capabilities of your investment.
Ready to get started?
Our marine electronics services cover the full spectrum of modern boat technology. We install and integrate GPS navigation systems, chart plotters, fishfinders, radar systems, marine audio systems, VHF radios, and autopilot systems.
Custom wiring and electrical work ensures your new electronics receive clean, stable power and communicate properly with existing systems. We handle complex integrations where your GPS feeds navigation data to your autopilot while your chart plotter displays fishfinder information.
Lafarges Landing’s position on Long Island puts you close to some of the Northeast’s best fishing and cruising waters. Your electronics need to perform reliably whether you’re navigating the Sound or heading offshore. We ensure your installation meets the demands of serious boating in these waters.
Installation timeframes depend on the complexity of your system and the level of integration required. A basic GPS and fishfinder installation typically takes one full day. More complex installations involving multiple displays, radar integration, autopilot systems, and custom audio setups can take 2-3 days.
We provide accurate time estimates upfront and stick to our schedule. Unlike many installers in the area, we don’t leave jobs half-finished or disappear for weeks between visits. You’ll know exactly when we’ll be there and when your installation will be complete.
Complex integrations require proper planning and cannot be rushed. We’d rather take the time to do it right than create problems that require expensive fixes later.
We install all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G. Our technicians hold certifications from every manufacturer that offers certification programs, so we understand the specific requirements and capabilities of each brand.
We’re not tied to any single manufacturer, which means we recommend equipment based on your specific needs and how you use your boat. A serious offshore fisherman has different requirements than a weekend cruiser, and we match the equipment to your actual usage patterns.
Brand selection often comes down to personal preference and how well the equipment integrates with your existing systems. We help you make informed decisions based on functionality, reliability, and long-term support rather than just pushing whatever equipment we have in stock.
Yes, proper electrical installation is critical for marine electronics reliability and safety. We’re ABYC Certified Electricians with extensive experience in marine electrical systems. This means we understand galvanic corrosion prevention, proper fusing, wire gauge requirements, and waterproof connection techniques.
Many electronics failures result from poor electrical installation rather than equipment defects. We use marine-grade wire, proper fusing at the appropriate amperage, and waterproof connections that won’t fail in the harsh marine environment.
Our electrical work includes installing dedicated circuits for high-power equipment, ensuring proper grounding to prevent interference, and creating clean power supplies that won’t cause display flickering or system resets. We also verify that your charging system can handle the additional electrical load from new electronics.
Integration is one of our specialties. Modern marine electronics are designed to share data and work together, but only when properly connected and configured. We can integrate new equipment with existing systems to create a unified network where your GPS feeds navigation data to your autopilot and your fishfinder displays on your chart plotter.
Integration requires understanding the communication protocols each manufacturer uses and how different systems share information. We configure the network settings, establish proper data flows, and ensure all systems recognize each other correctly.
The goal is creating a seamless user experience where you can access all your boat’s information from any display. This eliminates the need to look at multiple screens and gives you redundancy if one display fails. Proper integration also allows software updates and system monitoring from a central location.
We provide a comprehensive warranty on all installation work that covers both labor and the integrity of our electrical connections. This warranty covers any installation-related issues including loose connections, wiring problems, or integration failures that result from our work.
Equipment warranties remain with the manufacturer, but we coordinate warranty service and handle any installation-related warranty claims. If a problem occurs that involves both equipment and installation issues, we work directly with the manufacturer to resolve it quickly.
Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our work. We use proper installation techniques and marine-grade materials because we stand behind everything we install. The goal is eliminating callbacks and ensuring your electronics perform reliably for years.
Yes, comprehensive training is included with every installation. Marine electronics have become increasingly sophisticated, and getting the full benefit from your investment requires understanding how to use all the features effectively.
We provide hands-on training that covers basic operation, advanced features, and integration capabilities. This includes showing you how to set up waypoints, configure alarms, customize display layouts, and use networking features that share data between systems.
Training continues after installation if you have questions or want to learn additional features. We’d rather spend time ensuring you’re comfortable with your new equipment than have you struggle with systems you don’t fully understand. Many expensive marine electronics go underutilized simply because owners never learned their full capabilities.
