Raymarine ST50 and ST60

[asteven221]

My boat has an ST50 speed display working at the lower helm. The previous owner installed an ST60 on the FB, but never got around to wiring it up.

Could anyone tell me if the ST60 will need a transducer installed, or can it act as a repeater from the ST50 down below? I was thinking Seatalk or maybe NMEA.

All my instrumentation speak fluent Seatalk, so it would be ideal if the ST60 could join in with the ST50 kit.

Cheers.

You should be able to connect the Seatalk cable and have data repeated on the FB. connectors are different for st50/60 as I'm sure you are aware but can get the old ones fron e-bay. If not I probably have an old one if you need it just PM me.

If you haven't got the manuals most are on the Raymarine website - you may have to tell one (st60 in this case) to be a reapeater!

I should think so, there's two version of seatalk, but only he newest (post 2000) equipment speaks it

Always worth giving the raymarines a call, they are usually extremely helpful, ask for the engineering department

I dont think so, I know the st60 masthead unit for wind, will not work with the st50 stuff. But as has been said raymarine are very helpful.

Thanks for the advice. Juniper - thanks for the kind offer.

Will work fine. I upgraded my nav and dash and got an st60 tridata repeater from eBay at a good price, I wanted it simply because it looked more modern. You can't plug the transducers into the repeater, so the old st50s sit happily buried and invisible in the dash, passing data to the st60, my e120 chart plotter and my autopilot, all via sea talk.

I've got mixed ST50 ST60 system, no problems just connect them up using seatalk.
Dont worry of you havent got the ST60 connectors, just get some miniature crimp on spade connectors, they fit perfectly.

Now that is handy to know! My ST50 do talk to my new autopilot, but didnt think they would talk to ST60, I stand corrected.
