Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just buying equipment – you’re investing in reliability on the water. When your GPS needs to guide you home through fog, or your fishfinder needs to locate that perfect spot, you want systems that work every time.
Our marine electronics installations are built to handle everything Long Island waters throw at them. Salt spray, humidity, rough seas – your electronics keep performing while others fail.
No more wondering if your navigation will work when it matters. No more audio systems that corrode after one season. Just dependable marine electronics that protect your time on the water and your investment in your boat.
Legacy Motors and Marine understands what North Amityville boat owners face. From the Great South Bay to the Atlantic, our local waters demand electronics that can handle saltwater, weather, and the unique challenges of Long Island boating.
We’ve seen too many boats with failed car stereos, corroded wiring, and navigation systems that quit when you need them most. That’s why we use only marine-grade equipment and proper installation techniques.
Our certified technicians follow ABYC and NMEA standards because your safety and your boat’s performance depend on it. When other shops treat marine electronics as a side service, we make it our specialty.
First, we assess your boat and discuss what you actually need – not what we want to sell you. Every boat is different, and every owner has different priorities.
Next, we design a system that integrates properly with your existing setup. No cutting corners, no jury-rigged connections that fail later. We plan the installation to protect your boat’s aesthetics and functionality.
Installation follows marine industry standards with proper wiring, weatherproofing, and testing. We don’t just bolt things in place – we ensure everything communicates correctly and performs reliably. Before you leave, we test every function and show you how to use your new systems effectively.

Your marine electronics package includes everything from high-performance audio systems to advanced navigation and fish-finding equipment. We handle boat stereos with marine-grade speakers that won’t deteriorate in saltwater environments, GPS navigation systems that integrate with your existing displays, and fishfinder installations that actually help you find fish.
North Amityville’s proximity to both bay and ocean fishing means your electronics need to perform in different environments. We configure systems that work whether you’re trolling the Great South Bay for fluke or heading offshore for tuna.
Custom wiring and electrical work ensures everything integrates safely without compromising your boat’s existing systems. No shortcuts, no temporary fixes – just professional installation that lasts.
Most marine electronics installations take 1-3 days depending on system complexity. Simple stereo upgrades might finish in a day, while complete navigation and audio integration typically requires 2-3 days.
We schedule installations to minimize your boat’s downtime during prime boating season. Unlike some shops that promise quick turnarounds then take months, we give you realistic timeframes and stick to them.
Weather can affect installation schedules, especially for boats stored outdoors. We’ll communicate any delays immediately and work with you to find alternative timing that works.
Marine audio systems are specifically designed to survive saltwater, humidity, and UV exposure that destroy car stereos within months. The circuit boards get protective coatings that seal out moisture and salt.
Car stereos typically fail within a year in marine environments due to corrosion. Marine speakers use waterproof materials like polypropylene instead of paper cones that dissolve when wet.
The extra cost of marine-grade equipment pays for itself by lasting years instead of months. You’re not replacing corroded components every season or dealing with systems that fail when you’re miles from shore.
Yes, we specialize in integrating fishfinders with GPS navigation systems for seamless operation. Modern systems can share waypoints, track productive fishing spots, and display multiple functions on single screens.
Integration means your fishfinder marks can automatically sync with your GPS, so you can return to productive spots easily. We configure systems to work together rather than as separate, competing displays.
Proper installation includes networking cables, power management, and display positioning that makes sense for how you actually fish. Everything connects correctly the first time.
Our technicians hold NMEA and ABYC certifications – the industry standards for marine electronics and electrical work. These aren’t just certificates on the wall; they represent ongoing training in current marine technology and safety standards.
ABYC certification specifically covers marine electrical systems, which is critical for safe installation that won’t create fire hazards or interfere with other boat systems. NMEA certification ensures we understand how modern marine electronics communicate and integrate.
We maintain these certifications because marine electronics technology evolves rapidly. What worked five years ago might not be the best approach today, and we stay current with industry best practices.
Often, yes. We evaluate your current system to determine what can be upgraded versus what needs complete replacement. Sometimes adding components or updating software provides significant improvements without full system replacement.
Older systems might have good displays but outdated GPS chips, or solid electronics with failing speakers. We identify what’s worth keeping and what’s holding your system back.
Integration with existing equipment requires understanding compatibility between different manufacturers and generations of marine electronics. We handle the technical details so your upgrades work seamlessly with what you already have.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranty coverage on both equipment and installation work. Manufacturer warranties cover the electronics themselves, while our installation warranty covers workmanship and integration issues.
If something fails due to installation problems, we fix it at no charge. If equipment fails under manufacturer warranty, we handle the warranty claim process and any necessary replacement work.
We stand behind our installations because we use proper marine-grade materials and follow industry standards. Quality installation work shouldn’t need warranty repairs, but we back our work completely when it does.
