@@pedroccr you're welcome. No I purchased it. I would give you the part number or a reference but I can't remember where I ordered it. It was a Raymarine part though. Best bet is to call them directly. Good luck. Thank you for watching.
My pleasure! I hope it helps you with your installation. Please reach out if you need any assistance. Thank you for watching and providing your comments.
Everything I have read about the Seatalk converter suggests only one power supply and for that to come from the Seatalk NG network. How did you address this?
I had an existing NEMA 2000 network and a Seatalk 1 network which were totally separate and powered off of separate circuits. When I interfaced the Seatalk NG network between them I cut power to Seatalk 1 and added it to Seatalk NG while keeping the power to NEMA 2000. It worked like a charm. Then I realized that Like you read there should only be one power source so I cut the power to the Seatalk NG. The whole network stopped working. so I put power back and everything worked again. I am not really sure why that is. I just said it ain't broke so don't fix it LOL. Feel free to contact me if you want more info like my wire diagram. I can't post pics here for some reason. Thanks for watching and for your question.
Can you adjust the old auto pilot (on seatalk 1) from your chartplotter on NMEA2000 now? Im wondering if SeaTalk1 to STNG allows me to control my auto pilot over the chartplotter on STNG... and if can swap out the old ST4000 control for a P70s.. but leave the actuator/computer as is.
There is some communication between the Garmin chart plotter and the Raymarine autopilot, but it's not seamless. The plotter will send course changes to the autopilot and it will alarm if there is too much tracking error but It's easier just to use the autopilot directly. Let me know if that works. Thanks for your comments.
Hi Kit, I am sorry for the late response. I missed your comment. I am not sure about that. I used NMEA200 to connect my Ramarine and Garmin devices because they could not be connected otherwise. I know that I can connect other Garmin devices together via NMEA but devices like RADAR and SONAR use high band width so they need to be connected directly to each other. As far as I know NMEA 2000 cannot handle that type of data connection. I would assume you would need to hook up your RADAR and chart plotter directly. You should check with the Simrad rep on that. Let me know how the install went and what you found out. Thanks for watching.
is the connection from the STNG network to the NMEA 2000 network connected to the end of the nmea 2000 backbone or is the STNG network connected at a drop? From your video it appears you have one terminator on the STNG side and one on the NMEA 2000 side. Can you confirm that?
Hi Denise, Thank you for your questions. To confirm the STNG is connected to the backbone of the NMEA 2000 with terminal resistors on each opposing end. Are you doing something similar on your boat?
@@GoWithTheFloat Many thanks for your video!! What adapter did you use to connect STNG backbone to NMEA 2000 backbone ? I can't see in your video how the STNG cable connects to NMEA 2000 backbone

Thank you for the video. Did you make your STNG to N2K backbone cable? I never found one of those on the market, only drop cables.

Is this the same method I need to connect my Simrad autopilot and Simrad radar to the nmea2k I am about to install? Thx
