The currently installed AIS / VHF receiver will need to be interfaced to a spur socket within the system's powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. If the currently AIS / VHF receiver is a Raymarine product, thenAIS / VHF receiver should be interfaced to a spur socket within the system's SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone via an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable. If the currently AIS / VHF receiver is a third product and it features a NMEA 2000 communications interface, then an A06045 15.7in (0.4m) DeviceNet (F) to SeaTalkng Spur Adapter or A06075 39.4in (1.0m) DeviceNet (F) to SeaTalkng Spur Adapter may be used to adapt the Axiom MFD's DeviceNet Micro-C (M) plug to be mated to a SeaTalkng spur socket of a SeaTalkng backbone. If the currently AIS / VHF receiver is a third product, does not feature a NMEA 2000 communications interface, and features a NMEA 2000 communications interface, then a 384000 BAUD NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO-AIS, etc.) may be used to adapt the NMEA 0183 interface of the AIS / VHF receiver to be mated to a SeaTalkng spur socket of a SeaTalkng backbone.

Regarding the remaining items, please respond with the make/model of the depth sounder, a photo of the transducer's identification tag which clearly identifies the transducer's manufacturer and model, and the make/model of autopilot. If the autopilot is a Raymarine autopilot, please specify the model of the autopilot and the model of the autopilot control head.
