[DG] [DG] Interfacing ST2000+ and i60

[markyfff]

Hi there... Need some help on this one please. Trying to interface the ST2000+ with the i60. All I have are the cables that came with the i60 and the D179 Seatalk male round to bare ends that I ordered and ebay that I'm now questioning if it was the right purchase.

I believe the i60 comes with an Seatalk ng to Seatalk adapter. That one has a flat plug at the Seatalk end. How can I interface this Seatalk flat plug with the D179 male round, which I need to use as my tiller is 8 feet away? Can I cut off the male round and flat plug fittings and heat shrink the yellow wires together and then take the +12 V and 0 V (Red and Grey) from the adapter cable to my busbar? Or is there a better way to do this? I want to try and avoid ordering the converter kit as it's a little expensive for this one application.

Thanks! Mark
