Hear from Our Customers
You’ve invested serious money in your vessel. The last thing you want is amateur installation work that compromises your equipment or leaves you stranded on the water.
Our marine electronics installation goes beyond just mounting equipment. We ensure every connection is marine-grade, every wire is properly routed and protected, and every system integrates seamlessly with your existing setup.
When we’re done, you get reliable performance, preserved warranties, and the confidence that comes from knowing your electronics were installed by professionals who understand what’s at stake.
We at Legacy Motors and Marine understand the unique demands of marine electronics installation. Based in Port Jefferson Station and serving the Luce Landing area, we’ve built our reputation working with boat owners who value precision and reliability.
We’re not a volume shop churning out quick installs. Every project gets the attention it deserves, from initial consultation through final system testing and training. Our approach ensures your electronics perform as intended, when you need them most.
The Long Island boating community knows the difference between adequate and exceptional. We deliver exceptional, every time.
First, we assess your current setup and discuss your specific needs. Whether you’re upgrading navigation systems, adding entertainment options, or installing fishfinding equipment, we create a detailed plan that accounts for power requirements, mounting locations, and system integration.
Next comes the precision installation work. Every connection uses marine-grade components designed for the saltwater environment. We route wiring properly to avoid interference and protect against moisture intrusion. All mounting is done to manufacturer specifications.
Finally, we test every system thoroughly and walk you through operation of your new equipment. You’ll understand how everything works together and have the confidence to use your electronics effectively on the water.

Our marine electronics services cover the full spectrum of onboard systems. From GPS chartplotters and radar installation to custom marine audio systems and fishfinder setup, we handle the technical complexity so you can focus on enjoying your time on the water.
Long Island’s marine environment demands equipment that can handle salt spray, temperature changes, and constant vibration. We only work with proven marine-grade components from manufacturers like Garmin, Raymarine, and Fusion that are built for these conditions.
Every installation includes comprehensive system integration, ensuring your new electronics communicate properly with existing equipment. Whether you’re adding to a basic setup or upgrading a complex system, we make sure everything works together seamlessly.
Installation time varies based on the complexity of your project, but most single-component installations like a GPS chartplotter or fishfinder take one to two days. More complex projects involving multiple systems, custom mounting, or extensive wiring can take several days to a week.
We don’t rush installations to meet arbitrary deadlines. Quality work takes time, and we’d rather schedule appropriately than compromise the installation. During our initial consultation, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific requirements and current boat setup.
For boat owners in the Luce Landing area, we can often work around your boating schedule to minimize downtime during peak season.
Professional installation by qualified technicians actually protects your warranty coverage. Most marine electronics manufacturers require proper installation according to their specifications to maintain warranty validity.
DIY installations or work by unqualified installers can void warranties if not done correctly. We follow all manufacturer installation guidelines and use approved mounting hardware and wiring techniques. This ensures your warranty remains intact while giving you the performance and reliability you expect.
We also provide documentation of our installation work, which can be valuable if you ever need warranty service or decide to sell your boat.
System integration is one of our specialties. Modern marine electronics are designed to work together through NMEA networking protocols, allowing your GPS, radar, autopilot, and other systems to share data and provide enhanced functionality.
We assess your current setup during the consultation process and design integration solutions that maximize the capabilities of both new and existing equipment. This might involve network configuration, data sharing setup, or custom interface solutions.
The result is a cohesive electronics package where all components work together seamlessly, giving you better situational awareness and more efficient operation of your vessel.
Marine electronics are specifically engineered to survive the harsh saltwater environment that would quickly destroy standard electronics. They feature waterproof or water-resistant housings, corrosion-resistant materials, and components designed to handle constant vibration and temperature changes.
Marine GPS units include features like tide information and marine-specific mapping. Marine radios operate on designated maritime frequencies and include safety features like DSC calling. Fishfinders use specialized sonar technology optimized for underwater applications.
Using non-marine electronics on boats is a recipe for early failure and potentially dangerous situations. We only install equipment designed and certified for marine use, ensuring reliable performance when you need it most.
Comprehensive training is included with every installation. Marine electronics have become increasingly sophisticated, and we want you to get full value from your investment by understanding how to use all the features effectively.
Our training covers basic operation, advanced features, system integration capabilities, and basic troubleshooting. We provide hands-on instruction tailored to your specific equipment and typical usage patterns.
We also provide reference materials and are available for follow-up questions as you become more familiar with your new systems. Many boat owners discover additional capabilities weeks or months after installation, and we’re here to help you maximize your equipment’s potential.
Absolutely. We service and repair marine electronics regardless of where they were originally installed. Our technicians have experience with all major marine electronics brands and can diagnose issues, perform repairs, or recommend upgrades.
Sometimes we encounter installations that weren’t done to professional standards, which can create reliability issues or safety concerns. In these cases, we’ll explain the problems and provide options for bringing your systems up to proper standards.
We also offer system evaluations for boat owners who are experiencing problems or considering upgrades. This service helps you understand what’s working well and what might benefit from attention or replacement.
