Hear from Our Customers
Your boat becomes the command center you’ve always wanted. GPS navigation that guides you through any conditions with pinpoint accuracy. Audio systems that deliver crystal-clear sound whether you’re cruising the Sound or anchored in a quiet cove.
Fishfinders that actually find fish, showing you exactly what’s beneath your hull with detail that makes the difference between coming home empty-handed or with a cooler full of dinner. Every system works together seamlessly because it was designed and installed by people who understand both marine electronics and the waters around West Hills.
You stop worrying about whether your electronics will work when you need them most. Instead, you focus on what matters: enjoying your time on the water with confidence in equipment that performs exactly as promised.
Legacy Motors and Marine brings decades of marine electronics expertise to West Hills boat owners who understand the difference between adequate and exceptional. We’ve been serving the Long Island boating community with the kind of attention to detail that comes from treating every vessel like our own.
Our team combines Coast Guard training, ABYC certification, and real-world boating experience. We’re not just installers – we’re boaters who use the same electronics we install, fishing and cruising the same waters you navigate.
West Hills boaters know that Long Island Sound demands reliable electronics. Weather changes quickly, traffic is heavy, and the difference between a good day and a dangerous situation often comes down to having equipment you can trust absolutely.
We start by understanding exactly how you use your boat. Weekend cruising requires different electronics than serious fishing or long-distance passages. Your budget, your boat’s layout, and your experience level all factor into creating a system that works for you.
Next comes the planning phase where we map out every wire, every connection, and every integration point. This prevents the problems that plague most marine electronics installations: interference, poor connections, and systems that don’t talk to each other properly.
Installation happens with surgical precision. Every connection is crimped properly, every wire is run cleanly, and every system is tested thoroughly before we consider the job complete. You get a walkthrough of every feature and a clear understanding of how everything works together. Most importantly, you get a lifetime workmanship guarantee backing every connection we make.

Our marine electronics services cover everything from basic stereo upgrades to complete navigation overhauls. GPS chartplotters with the latest mapping, fishfinders with CHIRP sonar technology, and audio systems designed to perform in the harsh marine environment.
We handle custom wiring for complex installations, ensuring your boat’s electrical system can support modern electronics without compromising safety or reliability. Integration services connect all your systems so they work together instead of as separate components fighting for attention.
West Hills boaters face unique challenges with Long Island Sound’s busy waterways and changing conditions. Our installations account for the local environment – salt spray, temperature extremes, and the vibration that comes with serious boating. Every component is marine-rated, every connection is sealed properly, and every system is configured for the conditions you’ll actually face on the water.
Installation time depends on the complexity of your system and your boat’s existing wiring. A basic stereo and GPS combo typically takes one full day, while a complete electronics overhaul with multiple displays, radar, and custom audio zones can require three to five days.
We don’t rush installations because shortcuts lead to problems later. Every wire gets run properly, every connection gets sealed correctly, and every system gets tested thoroughly. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start, and we’ll keep you updated throughout the process.
The extra time we spend during installation saves you headaches and expense down the road. Properly installed marine electronics last longer, perform better, and give you the reliability you need when you’re miles from shore.
We work with all major marine electronics manufacturers including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Lowrance, Humminbird, and Furuno. Our technicians hold certifications from manufacturers that offer them, ensuring we stay current with the latest technology and installation requirements.
Brand choice depends on your specific needs, budget, and how you use your boat. Serious anglers might prefer different fishfinder technology than weekend cruisers, and long-distance sailors need different navigation features than day-trippers around the Sound.
We’ll recommend the brands and models that make the most sense for your situation, not what we happen to have in stock. Our goal is creating a system that works perfectly for how you actually use your boat, which means matching the right technology to your real-world needs.
Yes, integration is one of our specialties. Modern marine electronics are designed to work together through NMEA 2000 and other networking protocols, but proper integration requires understanding how different systems communicate and potential compatibility issues.
We evaluate your existing electronics, determine what can be integrated effectively, and identify any components that need upgrading for seamless operation. Sometimes older equipment needs updating to work with newer technology, and we’ll explain exactly what’s required and why.
The result is a unified system where your chartplotter can display engine data, your fishfinder information appears on multiple screens, and everything works together instead of as separate components. Integration done properly makes your boat easier to operate and gives you better situational awareness on the water.
Absolutely. We bring our installation expertise directly to your boat, whether it’s at a marina slip, mooring, or private dock in the West Hills area. Mobile installation eliminates the hassle of trailering your boat and lets us work in the environment where you’ll actually use the electronics.
Our mobile setup includes all the tools and equipment needed for professional installation. We can handle everything from simple component swaps to complex multi-day installations right at your location. Power requirements and workspace access are the only considerations we need to plan around.
Mobile service also means we can test your electronics in real-world conditions immediately after installation. We’ll take your boat out to verify everything works properly in actual use, not just at the dock. This ensures you’re completely confident in your new electronics before we consider the job finished.
Every installation comes with our lifetime workmanship guarantee covering all labor and installation-related issues. If a connection fails, a wire corrodes due to improper sealing, or any part of our installation work causes problems, we fix it at no charge regardless of how long ago we did the work.
Equipment warranties are handled directly with manufacturers, and we’ll help coordinate any warranty claims if needed. Most marine electronics come with manufacturer warranties ranging from one to three years depending on the component and brand.
Our workmanship guarantee is separate from equipment warranties and covers the installation quality that makes the difference between electronics that work reliably for years and systems that cause ongoing problems. We stand behind our work because we do it right the first time, using proper marine-grade materials and techniques that last.
Installation costs vary based on system complexity, boat size, and existing wiring conditions. Basic installations like a single GPS unit or stereo typically start around $300-500 for labor, while complete electronics overhauls can range from $2,000-8,000 depending on the scope of work required.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional components needed for proper installation. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, and no pressure to buy equipment you don’t need. You’ll know exactly what everything costs before we start any work.
The investment in professional installation pays for itself through reliability, performance, and longevity. Properly installed marine electronics last longer, work better, and maintain their value better than systems installed incorrectly. When you’re depending on your electronics for navigation and safety, professional installation isn’t an expense – it’s essential insurance.
