[TG] Wind instrument issue and maybe upgrade

[topcat]

I have a ST 60 wind instrument that is acting up. I have replaced the transducer once and had the instrument in for check a number of times. Only thing left to do is replace the cable.
So if I were to upgrade I believe the I 60 is a direct replacement. instrument cable and transducer.
For a little more I could go with a wireless transducer, remote instrument, and the wireless connectivity gateway. Can I use the old wind instrument as a repeater and leave it on the seatalk bus.?

for the most expensive way is top get a wireless transducer and wireless instrument. I think I would need to connect the wireless instrument to a seatalkng bus and remove the cable from the mast. Can I connect it to a nmea 2000 bus?

Can you tell me if the wireless solution has improved over the years. most reviews are not good on Tacktic equipment. I would be using it on a 40 ft sailboat. 54 ft mast
