[CA] [CA11] Do I need autopilot and wind displays?

[[email protected]]

Hello,
I'm just installed an Axiom 7, and ES78
I have autopilot motor from an older S3 computer. The motor still works wekk but the computer failed as well as all other instruments due to a lightning strike.
I want to connect a VHF with built in AIS, Wind transducer and autopilot all through Nema 2000 network.

My questions are:
1. What VHF with AIS is most compatible
2. Do I need a wind display or will the MFDs work without the stand alone wind display?
3. If I buy the autopilot computer will it work directly with the MFD I have or do I also need a stand alone autopilot display?
4. Will a less expensive camera work with the system or only the raymarine camera?

Its going on a Lagoon 380.
Thanks for the help
Tim
