If you're looking to get sonar later then you need to get the Axiom 9 RV - this is the version with the built-in sonar. The part number for Axiom 9 RV with N. America Navionics+ chart card but no transducer is E70367-03-NAG.

Either part T70243 (standard Quantum + power and data cables) or T70416, Quantum Doppler plus cables. The Doppler is by far the best-selling model at the moment, it's not a huge price difference from the standard Quantum and the Doppler target tracking is great for close-quarters awareness.

Quote:add an autopilot and pump (not sure which one?)

Hydraulic pilots are specified based on the volume of the steering cylinder (ram.) It's a good idea to check just in case the cylinder isn't original, but chances are you'd be looking at an EV150 pilot with T1 pump. The specified cylinder capacity ranges for the pumps are at https://www.raymarine.com/view/index-id=579.html.

can I Connect the ST-60 Tridata to give the data back to the axiom for depth?

Yes, these older Seatalk1 products can connect in via a Seatalk1-SeatalkNG convertor.
