You’ll have confidence in your navigation systems when you need them most. No more wondering if your GPS will work when the weather turns, or if your fishfinder will actually show you what’s below.
Your audio system will deliver crystal-clear sound that stands up to wind, spray, and years of marine conditions. Every wire gets properly sized and protected, every connection gets sealed correctly, and every system gets tested before you leave the dock.
The difference is in the details that other shops skip. We use marine-grade components, follow proper installation procedures, and make sure everything integrates seamlessly with your boat’s existing systems.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving North Haven boat owners who expect their electronics to perform when it matters. We understand the marine environment and what it takes to make systems last.
North Haven’s boating community knows that shortcuts in marine electronics lead to expensive problems down the road. That’s why we focus on doing the job right, using proper marine-grade components and installation techniques that protect your investment.
We’ve seen too many boats come in with failed installations from shops that don’t understand marine environments. Our approach is different – we treat every boat like it’s our own.
First, we assess your boat’s current systems and discuss what you want to achieve. We’ll explain what’s involved, what components you’ll need, and give you a clear timeline.
Next, we plan the installation to minimize disruption to your boat’s existing systems. We map wire runs, identify mounting locations, and ensure everything will integrate properly before we start cutting or drilling.
The installation itself follows marine industry standards. We use proper gauge wiring, marine-grade connectors, and weatherproof sealing techniques. Every connection gets tested, every system gets calibrated, and you get a walkthrough of how everything works before we’re done.

Our marine electronics installation covers everything from basic fishfinders to complex integrated systems. We handle boat stereos and audio systems, GPS navigation and chart plotters, fishfinder and sonar installation, and custom wiring for any marine electronics.
North Haven’s waters present unique challenges – from Long Island Sound’s varying conditions to local marina requirements. We understand these local factors and plan installations accordingly.
Whether you’re upgrading a single component or doing a complete electronics overhaul, we ensure everything works together properly. No compatibility issues, no interference problems, just reliable marine electronics that perform when you need them.
Most single-unit installations like GPS or fishfinders take 4-6 hours, depending on your boat’s layout and existing wiring. Complex audio systems or multiple-component installations can take 1-2 days.
The time varies based on wire routing complexity, whether we need to run new power circuits, and how much integration is required with existing systems. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the installation.
Every installation includes proper marine-grade wiring, weatherproof connections, system testing, and calibration. We also provide a complete walkthrough of your new equipment’s operation.
You get detailed documentation of the installation, including wire routing diagrams and system settings. We use only marine-rated components and follow ABYC electrical standards to ensure your installation meets safety requirements and won’t void your boat’s warranty.
Yes, we specialize in integrating new electronics with existing marine systems. This includes connecting GPS to autopilots, linking VHF radios to chart plotters, and integrating audio systems with existing speakers.
We assess your current setup first to identify compatibility issues and plan the integration properly. Most modern marine electronics use NMEA standards that allow different brands to communicate, but proper setup is crucial for reliable operation.
We provide ongoing support for all installations we complete. This includes troubleshooting, software updates, and repairs when needed.
Marine electronics face harsh conditions and occasional issues are normal. We’re familiar with every system we install, so we can diagnose problems quickly and get you back on the water. We also offer annual system checks to catch potential issues before they become problems.
We install and service all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Lowrance, Humminbird, Raymarine, and Simrad. We’re not tied to any single manufacturer, so we can recommend what works best for your specific needs.
Different brands excel in different areas – some have better fishfinding capabilities, others offer superior chart plotting or radar integration. We’ll help you choose based on how you actually use your boat, not just what’s popular or profitable for us to sell.
We take extensive precautions to protect your boat’s interior and exterior during installation. This includes using protective coverings, proper drilling techniques, and careful cable routing to avoid damage.
All mounting holes get properly sealed with marine-grade sealants, and we test every penetration for water intrusion. We also document the installation process with photos, so you have a record of exactly what was done and where. Your boat’s finish and systems are protected throughout the entire process.
