Hear from Our Customers
You didn’t invest in a premium boat to settle for mediocre electronics. When your navigation is precise, your audio is crystal clear, and your fishfinder actually finds fish, every trip becomes what you envisioned when you bought the boat.
No more guessing where you are on the water. No more straining to hear music over engine noise. No more wondering if there are fish below while you’re burning fuel in empty water.
Your electronics work seamlessly together, your controls are intuitive, and everything performs exactly as it should. That’s what proper installation delivers.
Legacy Motors and Marine brings the same precision and attention to detail to marine electronics that we apply to storing and maintaining luxury assets. We understand that your boat represents a significant investment, and every installation must enhance rather than compromise that value.
Located in Port Jefferson Station and serving the Stony Brook area, we’ve built our reputation on treating every vessel like it’s our own. Whether you’re upgrading a weekend cruiser or outfitting a luxury yacht, we approach each project with the same level of care and expertise.
The Long Island boating community knows that shortcuts cost more in the long run. That’s why discerning boat owners choose professional installation over quick fixes.
Every installation starts with understanding your specific needs and your vessel’s unique requirements. We assess your current setup, discuss how you use your boat, and recommend solutions that make sense for your situation.
Next comes the precise installation work. We route wiring through existing pathways when possible, protecting your boat’s integrity while ensuring clean, professional results. All connections are marine-grade and properly sealed against the harsh marine environment.
Before you take delivery, we test every system thoroughly and walk you through the operation. You’ll understand how everything works together, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable with all the new functionality before you head out on the water.

Our marine electronics services cover everything from basic stereo upgrades to complex navigation and fishfinding systems. We handle custom audio integration that delivers clear sound throughout your vessel, GPS and chartplotter installation for precise navigation, and fishfinder and sonar systems that actually help you locate fish.
Stony Brook’s boating conditions demand reliable electronics. The waters around Long Island can be challenging, and having equipment you can trust makes the difference between a great day and a frustrating one. We use marine-grade components designed for the salt air and temperature variations common in our area.
Custom wiring and electrical work ensure your new electronics integrate properly with existing systems. Poor electrical work is the leading cause of marine electronics failure, which is why we take the time to do it right the first time.
Installation time depends on the complexity of your project and your boat’s existing setup. A basic stereo upgrade might take a few hours, while a complete navigation and fishfinder system could require 2-3 days.
We don’t rush installations because precision matters more than speed when you’re working on expensive boats. Every wire needs to be routed properly, every connection needs to be marine-grade, and every system needs thorough testing.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if we discover anything that might affect the schedule. Most boat owners prefer to have the work done right rather than done fast.
Professional installation using proper marine-grade components and techniques typically doesn’t void boat warranties. However, warranty terms vary by manufacturer, so we always recommend checking with your dealer before major modifications.
We follow industry best practices for all installations, which means using appropriate mounting hardware, marine-grade wiring, and proper sealing techniques. This approach actually helps preserve your boat’s value and integrity.
If warranty concerns are important to you, we can work with your boat dealer to ensure the installation meets their requirements. Many dealers actually prefer having electronics installed by experienced professionals rather than attempting it themselves.
We work with all major marine electronics brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Lowrance, Simrad, and Furuno for navigation and fishfinding equipment. For audio systems, we install Fusion, JL Audio, Wet Sounds, and other premium marine audio brands.
The best brand depends on your specific needs, budget, and how you use your boat. Serious fishermen might prefer different sonar technology than casual cruisers, and audio preferences vary widely among boat owners.
We’ll recommend systems based on your actual usage patterns rather than pushing the most expensive options. Sometimes a mid-range system properly installed outperforms a premium system that’s poorly integrated.
Yes, integration is often possible and usually more cost-effective than replacing everything at once. Modern marine electronics are designed to communicate with each other through NMEA networks, allowing GPS data to feed your autopilot, fishfinder, and chartplotter simultaneously.
The key is ensuring compatibility between old and new systems. Some older equipment uses different communication protocols, but we can often bridge these gaps with appropriate interface modules.
We’ll assess your current setup and explain what can be integrated, what might need upgrading, and what the benefits of each approach would be. Sometimes keeping certain existing components makes perfect sense.
Absolutely. Part of professional installation includes making sure you understand how to operate your new equipment effectively. We walk through all the key functions, show you how to access important features, and explain how different systems work together.
Marine electronics can be sophisticated, and manufacturers often include features that many boat owners never discover. We focus on the functions you’ll actually use while making sure you know where to find advanced features when you need them.
We also provide quick reference guides for complex systems and remain available for follow-up questions. It’s better to spend a few extra minutes during installation than to have you struggling with unfamiliar controls when you’re trying to navigate.
We warranty our installation workmanship for one year, covering any issues related to mounting, wiring, or integration problems. This is separate from the manufacturer’s warranty on the equipment itself, which we help you register and understand.
Our warranty covers things like loose connections, water intrusion due to improper sealing, or mounting failures. It doesn’t cover damage from accidents, lightning strikes, or normal wear and tear on the equipment itself.
Most installation issues, if they’re going to occur, happen within the first few months of use. We stand behind our work and will address any installation-related problems promptly. Quality installation is an investment in reliability, not just immediate functionality.
