Connecting ST4000 (black), ST60 to E15023 SmartController

[patrickkidd]

I have a ST4000 autopilot (original black, not the grey ST4000+) and a Raymarine ST60 (grey housing) speed and depth instrument which are not currently connected via SeaTalk. I bought a Raymarine E15023 wireless SmartController, mostly to be able to remote control the autopilot, but it also can display speed and depth.

However, the ST4000 has two tab connectors for seatalk and not the three-conductor plastic SeaTalk plug that came with the SmartController. I imagine the ST60 has the same three-conductor plastic SeaTalk plug since it's a similar generation as the SmartController.

Does anyone know how to connect the smart controller to the ST4000 via SeaTalk, and similarly how to connect the ST60 to the ST4000 via SeaTalk? Can I just cut the plastic plug and crimp two of the three wires or so I need some $5000 adaptor for it?


Thanks!
