[CA] [CA11] Integrate ev150 and c120

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Fender,

Should you find yourself getting in over your head, it would be recommended that a Certified Raymarine Installer be contacted to perform the installation.

Should a 12V Type 1 Hydraulic Pump presently be installed onboard, then the T70407 EV-150 Power Pilot Core Pack would indeed be the correct Evolution autopilot to replace the S2G autopilot course computer, control head, and fluxgate compass. Unfortunately, the latest SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter software in conjunction with the latest Evolution autopilot software will not permit the C120 to send navigational data to the autopilot. According, it would be necessary to use an Actisense NGW-1-ISO-STNG NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device to interface the MFD to the powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone which will network the Evolution autopilot components to one another. To do so, the NMEA 0183 input leads of the NGW-1-ISO-STNG will be interfaced the NMEA 0183 output leads of the MFD's NMEA 0183 Cable (supplied with the C120). The spur cable of the NGW-1-ISO-STNG will then be used to connect it to an available spur socket within the aforementioned backbone.
