Garmin NMEA 2000 to Seatalk ng to Seatalk

[Tintin]

I've done a load of reading, I think I've got it, but I am just after some re-assurance before I start buying a few cables, so this is the proposed set-up

Raymarine ST60 Log
- links /daisychains via Seatalk on back of ST60 display to.....

Raymarine ST60+ Wind display

Raymarine Seatalk to Seatalk NG Converter / backbone block (which I have)

a garmin NMEA2000 backbone, which supports

- Garmin GPS750 chartplotter
- Garmin AIS600 ais transponder
- Garmin VHF 200 radio

A couple of key questions:

1. Do I power either a) only the Seatalk NG converter/ backbone block, or b) only the Garmin NMEA 2000 backbone, or c) both?

2. Would I be better off (make it easier) using NMEA 0183 as the interface between the systems for the waypoint info from the Chartplotter to the S1 Tillerpilot?

The aim is to pick up waypoint info from the Chartplotter for the tillerpilot to steer to wpt and wind info from the Raymarine wind for the tillerpilot to steer to wind.

Thanks,
CR

Raymarine Seatalk to Seatalk NG Converter / backbone block (which I have)

Don't really know anything about that converter but curious to see if there was anything that would give me a clue I looked in the instructions. Page 17 of the installation manual says:

SeaTalk autopilot (e.g. S1, S2 or S3 course computer with ST6002 controller) — This cannot be connected to the converter, nor to any device on the converter’s SeaTalk spur. A SeaTalk autopilot will usually be connected directly to the multifunction display.

Hi laika, thanks for noting that. Was that the S1 installation manual or the converter?

I spoke with Raymarine today on this. Apparently when the converter started shipping they had already fixed this issue but the documentation lagged behind (and still does).

So they tell me there is no problem with this.

Which means "happy days" for me

I am very curious to hear if this is working - I too have an S1 Tillerpilot but currently do not have a wind instrument or transducer.
The i60 is a great instrument head but the Garmin/Nexus wireless transducer is more appealing than the Raymarine transducer but it involves a lot of conversion - gWind transducer to Nexus WSI box to Garmin GND box (N2k output).
Can I connect the GND to either the S1 Course Computer or 6002 Controller using and adapter plug to Seatalkng and then the Seatalkng to Seatalk adapter cable?

Thanks
