I have all the original electronics from 1998 on my boat. Raymarine SeaTalk1 stuff. No charplotter, but everything works other than the radar.
I'd like to get the Garmin 942xs bundle with the GMR18 HD radar. I'd like to use my current instruments and autopilot. So here's what I think I need to do, but I'm sure it's half-baked, so please chime in.
I will need a NMEA 2000 network for my new electronics. But I need to get the old SeaTalk1 stuff on it, so I'll need a SeaTalk convertor with converts ST1 to STng. Here's where it starts to get fuzzy, but I think I'll then need a cable that connects the ng side of the converter to the NMEA 2000 network.
I think that should work, but who knows. Any ideas about this plan? Thanks.
