[CA11] Adding B&G to EVO-1 via Seatalkng - jvolpehoo - 09-12-19 11:38 AM
See attached diagram:
Is there any problem daisychaining either the MFD or Radar via the extra port on the P70 control head? I have all the adapter cables. The P70 cannot see the mfd but the MFD can see the EVO-! components but won't allow autopilot setup.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum jvolpehoo,
Should the equipment have involved a Raymarine MFD and should the total length of the spur cables used to daisy chain the MFD to the p70 and the backbone spur socket to the p70 not exceed 6m, then it would be possible to daisy chain the MFD to the p70. However, no such guarantee could be made with a third party MFD. The safest bet would be follow the NMEA 2000 standard (also Raymarine best installation practice) of interfacing each device as an individual spur to the backbone rather than utilizing daisy chains.
