[CA] Instrument Upgrade - mcrow99 - 03-13-18 03:01 PM
I have an a75 MFD without sonar, and I'm looking to upgrade my sonar and wind instruments. I'm looking at the i70 display with wind, depth, and temp transducers. Will this talk to the a75 with Seatalk, or do I need the wind and depth control heads? I also have EV100 wheel pilot with ST70 control head that is connected to the a75.
Thanks,
Mike

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Mike,
The i70 MFID is indeed designed to communicate with an a75 MFD. Communications between these products will occur via the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. However, in addition to installing the wind, depth, and temp transducers, it will be necessary to install an iTC-5 Analog Instrument Transducer Converter.
