ST60 Depth Issue

Neil,

It is indeed acceptable to interface the MFD's SeaTalk cable to one of the SeaTalk ports of the S1G Autopilot Course computer. As recommended previously, it is recommended that the red lead of its SeaTalk cable not be connected to the red SeaTalk terminal of the S1G. This is more for housekeeping, and I don't believe that it would be responsible for the reported issue. It is recommended that the aforementioned troubleshooting be performed to isolate the problem to the depth instrument or transducer.

One last note, if an in-hull instrument depth transducer (i.e. P79) has been installed, then it is recommended that the fluid level within its reservoir be checked to ensure that it is full. The P79 must be fully immersed in fluid to perform properly.
