Installation of Raymarine Kit

[SailingDog]

Hi All,
Hoping there are some Gurus out there, I have got myself a boat with Raymarine ST60 instruments and Raymarine autopilot and they all work. I've inherited a C80 which is un-proven. How do I connect them all together without blowing my self up ? The C80 only has 1 cable with it which is for power, how do I get all the Raymarine bits talking to each other like the sales chappie told me at the boatshow a few years ago ?

There are several ways of connecting the C80 into the system which GPS do you have if it's a raymarine then simply use Seatalk connecting the C80 into the daisy chain. Look on the Raymarine website and go to the C80 manual which has illustrations of the methods of connecting into the system. It also depends on if the autopilot is allready e.inetergrated into the system or stand alone.

download the installation and operating manuals, and read up on what needs to be wired in.

If you need Seatalk cables, then have a look on eBay first - last time I needed some (two years ago) the difference in price compared to Raymarine was astonishing

Or just use some shielded twin core and the spade socket terminals to crimp on the end ...
