Professional Boat Electronics Installation

Systems That Work When You Need Them

Your electronics aren’t just gadgets—they’re your safety net, your fishing edge, your connection to shore. When they fail, everything stops. That’s why we don’t cut corners on installation or use subpar components that’ll leave you stranded. Every connection is properly crimped. Every wire is the right gauge. Every fuse is installed where it should be. We understand galvanic corrosion, voltage drops, and the marine environment’s unique challenges because we’ve been dealing with them for decades. You get systems that fire up every time, navigate accurately, and communicate clearly. No intermittent failures. No callbacks to fix what should have been done right the first time.

Ocean Beach Marine Electronics Experts

Certified Technicians Who Know Boats

Legacy Motors and Marine brings professional marine electronics expertise to Ocean Beach and the surrounding Long Island waters. Our certified technicians hold manufacturer certifications and ABYC credentials—the industry gold standard for marine electrical work. We’re not a marina that does electronics on the side. This is what we do, and we do it right. Ocean Beach boaters face unique challenges with salt air, tidal changes, and the demanding conditions of Long Island Sound. We understand these conditions and spec every installation accordingly. When you’re dealing with expensive equipment and your safety on the water, you want technicians who’ve seen it all and know how to prevent problems before they happen.

About Legacy Motors & Marine

Custom Marine Audio Integration

Entertainment Systems Built for Marine Life

Ocean Beach’s boating season is short enough without dealing with audio systems that cut out when you hit a wave or corrode after one season. We install marine-grade components designed for the salt air and constant moisture of Long Island waters. Custom integration means your stereo system works with your existing electronics. Control your music from your chart plotter. Integrate with NMEA 2000 networks. Set up zones for different areas of your boat. Everything weatherproofed and properly grounded to prevent the electrical gremlins that plague cheap installations. Local boaters know the difference between equipment that lasts one season versus systems built to handle years of Ocean Beach conditions. We source components accordingly and install them with the attention to detail that prevents comebacks and ensures reliability when you’re miles from shore.

What marine electronics brands do you install and service?

We’re certified to install and service all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, Furuno, and Lowrance. This isn’t just about being able to mount a display—we hold manufacturer certifications for warranty work and advanced system integration. Each brand has its own networking protocols, installation requirements, and integration capabilities. Our technicians stay current with firmware updates, new product releases, and evolving installation standards. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or starting fresh, we can recommend the right combination of components that work together seamlessly. We also maintain relationships with local parts suppliers and can source hard-to-find components or legacy parts for older systems that still have life left in them.

How long does a typical marine electronics installation take?

Installation time depends on system complexity and your boat’s existing wiring infrastructure. A basic fishfinder installation might take 2-3 hours, while a complete navigation and audio system overhaul could require 2-3 days. We provide realistic timeframes upfront—not optimistic estimates that leave you waiting. Before starting any work, we assess your boat’s wiring accessibility, existing through-hulls, and mounting locations. This prevents surprises and ensures we have the right materials on hand. For complex installations, we break the work into logical phases so you’re not without your boat for extended periods during Ocean Beach’s prime boating season. Emergency repairs and critical navigation equipment always take priority to get you back on the water safely.

Do you provide mobile marine electronics service to Ocean Beach?

Yes, we bring our service directly to your boat whether it’s at a marina, on a trailer, or in dry storage. Mobile service means no hauling your boat to a shop or waiting weeks for an appointment during busy season. Our mobile setup includes all the diagnostic equipment, installation tools, and common parts needed for most jobs. We can perform everything from simple repairs to complex system installations right at your location. This saves you time and eliminates the hassle of coordinating boat transport. For Ocean Beach area boaters, we understand the local marinas, launch ramps, and storage facilities. We work around tide schedules and coordinate with marina staff to ensure smooth access to your vessel without disrupting other boaters.

What's included in your marine electronics warranty and service?

Our installation work comes with a comprehensive warranty covering both labor and materials. If something we installed fails due to workmanship issues, we fix it at no charge. We also provide manufacturer warranty service for the equipment we install. Beyond the warranty period, we offer ongoing service relationships with priority scheduling for existing customers. This includes software updates, system optimization, and troubleshooting support. Many electronic issues can be diagnosed remotely, saving you service calls for minor problems. We keep detailed records of every installation, including wiring diagrams, component specifications, and configuration settings. This documentation proves invaluable for future service work or insurance claims, and ensures continuity if you need service from another technician.

Can you integrate new electronics with my existing boat systems?

Integration is where proper marine electronics installation separates from simple equipment mounting. We specialize in making different brands and generations of equipment work together through NMEA networking, analog interfaces, and custom wiring solutions. Modern chart plotters can control autopilots, display engine data, integrate with audio systems, and share information with fishfinders. Getting these systems talking requires understanding communication protocols, proper network termination, and device addressing. We handle the technical complexity so you get seamless operation. Even older boats can benefit from modern electronics integration. We can retrofit NMEA 2000 networks, add gateway devices to bridge different communication standards, and create custom interfaces for legacy equipment that still functions well but needs to communicate with newer systems.

What should I expect to pay for marine electronics installation?

Marine electronics pricing varies significantly based on equipment selection, installation complexity, and your boat’s existing infrastructure. A basic GPS/fishfinder combo might run $800-1500 installed, while comprehensive navigation and entertainment systems can range from $5000-15000 or more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment costs, labor hours, and any additional materials needed. No surprise charges or vague “shop time” fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work. Quality installation costs more upfront but saves money long-term through reliable operation and proper warranty coverage. Cheap installations often require expensive repairs or complete reinstallation within a few seasons. We focus on value—getting the most capability and reliability for your investment rather than just the lowest initial price.
