You’re not just getting equipment installed. You’re getting peace of mind every time you head out on the water.
Your GPS locks onto your position instantly. Your fishfinder shows you exactly what’s below. Your marine audio delivers crystal-clear sound without cutting out when you hit rough seas.
No more wondering if your electronics will fail when you’re miles from shore. No more dealing with systems that work sometimes but not others. Just reliable performance that lets you focus on what you came out here to do.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving boat owners throughout Maidstone Park and Long Island for years. We understand the unique challenges of marine electronics in this environment.
The salt air, moisture, and constant vibration that destroy poorly installed systems don’t faze us. We’ve seen what works and what fails on Long Island waters.
Our technicians are NMEA certified and factory authorized for major marine electronics brands. When we install your systems, they’re built to last in the marine environment.
First, we assess your vessel and discuss exactly what you want your electronics to do. Navigation requirements, entertainment preferences, fishing needs – we map out everything before we start.
Next comes the installation itself. We use marine-grade wiring and proper waterproof connections throughout. Every wire is secured, every connection is sealed, and every system is tested before we consider the job complete.
Finally, we walk you through operating your new systems. You’ll understand how everything works together and know exactly how to get the most from your investment.
Ready to get started?
Your boat gets a complete electronics package designed specifically for your needs. GPS and chartplotter systems that show you exactly where you are on Long Island Sound. Fishfinder and sonar installation that reveals what’s beneath your hull.
Marine audio systems built to handle the elements while delivering exceptional sound quality. Custom wiring and electrical work that meets marine safety standards. Navigation systems that integrate seamlessly with your autopilot and other onboard systems.
Everything is installed with attention to both performance and aesthetics. Your electronics look professional and operate flawlessly, enhancing both the value and enjoyment of your vessel.
We’re factory authorized for all major marine electronics manufacturers including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Lowrance, and Furuno. This means we have direct access to technical support, warranty coverage, and the latest training on their systems.
Being factory authorized also means you get full manufacturer warranty coverage on your equipment. If there’s ever an issue, we can handle warranty claims directly without you having to deal with multiple companies.
We stock the most popular models and can order any specific equipment you need. Our technicians stay current on the latest features and installation requirements for each brand.
Installation time depends on the complexity of your system and your vessel’s layout. A basic GPS and fishfinder installation might take a full day, while a complete electronics overhaul with multiple displays, audio integration, and custom wiring can take several days.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment. We don’t rush installations because proper marine wiring and waterproofing takes time to do correctly.
Most customers prefer to schedule installation during weekdays when they’re not using their boat. We can work around your boating schedule to minimize any disruption to your time on the water.
Yes, we offer mobile installation services throughout Maidstone Park and the surrounding Long Island area. We can come to your marina, dock, or anywhere your boat is located.
Our mobile service includes all the same equipment and expertise as our shop-based installations. We bring everything needed including power tools, testing equipment, and all installation materials.
Mobile service is particularly convenient for larger vessels that are difficult to transport, or when you prefer to have work done at your home dock. We’ll coordinate with your marina if needed to ensure we have proper access and power for the installation.
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers both our installation work and the equipment itself. Our installation workmanship is warranted for two years, covering any issues with wiring, mounting, or configuration.
Equipment warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from one to three years. Since we’re factory authorized, warranty claims are handled directly through us – you don’t need to deal with multiple companies if there’s an issue.
We also provide ongoing support after installation. If you have questions about operating your new systems or need minor adjustments, we’re available to help. Our goal is to ensure you’re completely satisfied with your marine electronics long after the installation is complete.
Absolutely. We specialize in integrating new electronics with existing systems on your boat. Whether you want to add a new chartplotter to your current setup or upgrade your fishfinder while keeping your existing GPS, we can make everything work together seamlessly.
Integration requires understanding how different systems communicate with each other. We use NMEA protocols and proper networking to ensure your new and existing equipment share data correctly.
Before starting any integration work, we’ll assess your current systems to identify any compatibility issues. Sometimes older equipment may need updates or adapters to work with newer technology, and we’ll explain all options upfront.
Marine electronics face unique challenges that don’t exist in other environments. Salt air corrodes connections, constant vibration loosens components, and water intrusion destroys equipment that isn’t properly sealed.
We use marine-grade wiring, waterproof connections, and proper grounding techniques that meet ABYC standards. Every connection is sealed against moisture, and all wiring is secured to handle the constant motion of a boat underway.
The installation process also requires understanding boat electrical systems, which operate on 12V DC power and have specific requirements for circuit protection and grounding. Regular electronics technicians often don’t have this specialized marine knowledge, which leads to installations that fail prematurely.
