Legacy Motors and Marine brings the same attention to detail and precision that luxury vehicle owners expect to the marine electronics world. Based in the Long Island area, we understand that Wincoma boat owners aren’t looking for the cheapest option—they’re looking for the right option.
We’ve built our reputation on treating every vessel like it’s our own. That means proper planning, quality components, and installation techniques that preserve your boat’s value while delivering the performance you expect.
The marine environment demands expertise. Salt air, moisture, and vibration destroy poorly installed electronics. We use marine-grade components, proper sealing techniques, and follow manufacturer specifications to ensure your systems perform reliably season after season.
We start with a thorough consultation to understand exactly what you want to achieve with your marine electronics. Whether you’re upgrading navigation systems, installing custom audio integration, or adding fishfinding capabilities, we map out the entire project before any work begins.
Next comes the technical assessment. We examine your vessel’s existing electrical systems, available space, and integration points. This isn’t guesswork—we measure, test, and plan every connection to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Installation happens in our climate-controlled facility where sensitive electronics are protected from environmental factors. We use marine-grade wiring, proper crimping techniques, and follow ABYC standards for all electrical work. Every connection is sealed and tested before we move to the next step.
Final testing and calibration ensure everything works together as intended. We test all systems under various conditions, calibrate settings for your specific vessel, and provide you with documentation of the work completed. You get a system that’s ready to perform from day one.
Ready to get started?
Our marine electronics services cover everything from basic GPS installation to complex custom audio integration systems. We handle navigation and GPS systems installation, ensuring your chartplotter, radar, and autopilot systems work together seamlessly for safe, efficient navigation.
Custom marine audio integration is where we really shine. We design systems that deliver exceptional sound quality while maintaining your vessel’s clean aesthetic. Whether you want zone control, wireless connectivity, or integration with existing entertainment systems, we create solutions that fit your lifestyle.
Fishfinder and sonar installation requires precise transducer placement and proper calibration. We understand how different hull materials, mounting locations, and water conditions affect performance. You get accurate readings and reliable fish detection in the waters around Long Island Sound and beyond.
For Wincoma’s discerning boat owners, we also provide custom wiring and electrical upgrades. This includes adding dedicated circuits for new equipment, upgrading charging systems, and installing proper circuit protection. Everything meets or exceeds marine electrical standards for safety and reliability.
Installation time depends on the complexity of your project, but most single-system installations take 1-2 days in our facility. A basic GPS or fishfinder installation usually completes in one day, while comprehensive navigation system upgrades or custom audio integration can take 2-3 days.
Complex projects involving multiple systems, custom fabrication, or extensive rewiring may require a week or more. We provide realistic timelines during our initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
The key is doing it right the first time. Rushing installations leads to problems later—intermittent connections, poor performance, and potential damage to your vessel’s electrical systems. We take the time necessary to ensure everything works perfectly before your boat leaves our facility.
We’re authorized dealers and certified installers for all major marine electronics manufacturers including Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, and Lowrance. This means we can provide warranty-compliant installation and have direct access to technical support when needed.
For audio systems, we work with marine-specific brands like Fusion, JL Audio Marine, Rockford Fosgate Marine, and Wet Sounds. These companies understand the unique challenges of marine environments and engineer their products accordingly.
We also handle integration with existing systems regardless of brand. If you have a mix of manufacturers on board, we ensure everything communicates properly. Our experience with different protocols and interface standards means we can make almost any combination work together seamlessly.
We offer both options depending on your needs and the type of work required. Simple installations like adding a GPS unit or replacing a VHF radio can often be done at your marina or dock. We bring all necessary tools and testing equipment to complete the job properly on-site.
However, complex installations requiring fabrication, extensive wiring, or integration with multiple systems are better handled in our climate-controlled facility. This protects sensitive electronics from moisture and temperature fluctuations during installation.
For Wincoma area clients, we also provide pickup and delivery service. We’ll collect your vessel, complete the work in optimal conditions, then return it ready to use. This concierge approach means you don’t have to coordinate marina access or worry about weather delays affecting your installation.
Marine electronics face unique challenges—salt spray, moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes that would destroy automotive or home electronics. We use only marine-rated components designed specifically for these conditions.
Every connection gets proper sealing with marine-grade heat shrink tubing, dielectric grease, and corrosion-resistant fittings. We follow ABYC standards for all electrical work, which means proper wire routing, strain relief, and circuit protection. These aren’t just good practices—they’re essential for long-term reliability.
Installation location matters too. We position equipment away from direct spray, ensure adequate ventilation for heat dissipation, and use shock-mounting where necessary. Transducers get proper fairing compound to prevent water intrusion. Display units are positioned to minimize glare while protecting them from the elements.
Testing happens under various conditions before we consider the job complete. We verify performance in different weather, check all connections for proper sealing, and ensure backup systems function correctly. Your electronics need to work when conditions are challenging—that’s when you need them most.
You get comprehensive warranty protection on both equipment and installation. All marine electronics come with full manufacturer warranties, which remain valid because we’re authorized dealers performing certified installations according to manufacturer specifications.
Our installation work carries a two-year warranty covering all labor, connections, and integration. This means if you experience problems related to our installation—loose connections, wiring issues, or calibration problems—we fix them at no charge.
We also provide ongoing support beyond the warranty period. Marine electronics occasionally need recalibration, software updates, or minor adjustments as you use your vessel. We’re available to handle these services and can often resolve simple issues with a quick phone consultation.
Documentation matters for warranty claims. You receive complete records of all work performed, including part numbers, installation procedures, and calibration settings. This protects your investment and makes any future service work more efficient.
Integration is one of our specialties, and it’s often more complex than boat owners realize. Modern marine electronics use different communication protocols—NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, Ethernet, and proprietary systems. Making everything work together requires understanding how each system communicates.
We start by mapping your existing setup—what equipment you have, how it’s currently connected, and what data each system needs to share. Then we design integration solutions that allow new equipment to communicate with existing systems without disrupting functionality.
Sometimes integration requires additional hardware like protocol converters, network switches, or interface modules. We explain what’s needed and why, so you understand exactly what you’re getting. The goal is seamless operation where all your systems work together as if they were designed as a complete package.
Testing integration thoroughly is crucial. We verify that all systems receive the data they need, displays show correct information, and backup systems function properly. You shouldn’t have to learn different interfaces or remember which system controls what—everything should work intuitively together.
