We Know Boats and Electronics

Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving boat owners in Patchogue Highlands and surrounding Long Island waters with professional marine electronics installation. We understand that your vessel represents a significant investment, and every component we install reflects that understanding. Our technicians hold NMEA certifications and manufacturer-specific training. We’ve seen what happens when marine electronics are installed incorrectly, and we’ve built our reputation on doing it right the first time.

We install systems designed to handle everything from calm bay fishing to challenging Atlantic conditions.

Marine Electronics Installation Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start with a consultation at your boat to understand exactly what you need and how you use your vessel. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Next, we create a detailed installation plan that shows you exactly what equipment goes where and how everything connects. You’ll know what to expect before we start any work. Installation happens on your schedule, whether that’s at your dock, marina, or our facility. We use proper marine wiring techniques, waterproof connections, and secure mounting systems that won’t fail when you need them most. After installation, we test every system thoroughly and walk you through the operation. You’ll understand how to use your new electronics and what to do if you have questions later.

Complete Marine Electronics Solutions

Everything Your Boat Needs

You get comprehensive marine electronics installation including GPS and chart plotters, fishfinders and sonar systems, marine audio and stereo systems, VHF radios, and custom wiring solutions. We handle both new installations and upgrades to existing systems. Patchogue Highlands waters present specific challenges that influence our equipment recommendations. The shallow bays require different sonar settings than deeper offshore areas. Weather patterns here can change quickly, making reliable navigation equipment essential for safe boating. We work with all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Lowrance, and Furuno. Our installations meet ABYC electrical standards and maintain your boat’s warranty coverage. Every project includes proper documentation, so you have records of what was installed and how to maintain it. This protects your investment and makes future service easier.

How long does marine electronics installation typically take?

Most single-device installations like a fishfinder or GPS unit take 4-6 hours including proper wiring and testing. More complex installations involving multiple integrated systems can take 1-3 days depending on your boat’s layout and existing wiring. We always provide a realistic timeline during our initial consultation. Rush jobs often lead to poor installations, so we schedule adequate time to do the work properly. Weather can affect installation schedules, especially for outdoor work. We’ll communicate any delays immediately and work with you to minimize disruption to your boating plans.

What's included in your marine electronics installation service?

Every installation includes proper marine-grade wiring, waterproof connections, secure mounting hardware, and complete system testing. We provide detailed documentation of the installation and basic operation training. Our service covers routing cables through your boat’s structure without compromising watertight integrity. We install proper fuses and circuit protection, and ensure all connections meet marine electrical standards. You also get a warranty on our installation work, separate from the manufacturer’s equipment warranty. If something we installed fails due to our workmanship, we fix it at no charge.

Can you install electronics on any type of boat?

We work on everything from small fishing boats to large cruisers and yachts. Each boat type presents different challenges, and we have experience with fiberglass, aluminum, and wood construction. The installation approach varies significantly between boat types. Center console boats require different wiring routes than cabin cruisers. Sailboats have unique considerations for mast-mounted equipment and electrical systems. We assess each boat individually during our consultation to determine the best installation approach. Some older boats may need electrical system upgrades before new electronics can be safely installed.

Do you service electronics after installation?

Yes, we provide ongoing service and support for all electronics we install. This includes software updates, troubleshooting, and repair services when needed. Marine electronics require periodic maintenance to perform reliably. Salt air and moisture can affect connections over time, and software updates often add new features or improve performance. We also offer seasonal check-ups to ensure your systems are ready for the boating season. Many problems can be prevented with regular maintenance, which is much less expensive than emergency repairs.

What marine electronics brands do you recommend?

We work with all major brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Lowrance, and Furuno. The best choice depends on your specific needs, boat type, and how you use your vessel. For fishing-focused boats, we might recommend different equipment than for cruising vessels. Budget considerations also play a role, but we never compromise on quality for basic safety equipment like GPS and VHF radios. We’ll explain the differences between brands and models during our consultation. Our goal is to match you with electronics that fit your boating style and provide reliable service for years to come.

How much does marine electronics installation cost?

Installation costs vary based on equipment complexity, boat access, and wiring requirements. Simple single-device installations might cost a few hundred dollars, while complete integrated systems can cost several thousand. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment costs, installation labor, and any additional materials needed. There are no surprise charges, and we discuss any potential complications upfront. The investment in professional installation protects your equipment and boat. Poor installations can damage expensive electronics, create safety hazards, and void warranties. Quality installation work pays for itself through reliable performance and equipment longevity.
