New equipment and integration of existing

[Lazybones]

We have just completed a circumnavigation in our 54’ sailboat and our electronics need to be updated.

We currently have:
-1990 Autohelm 100/300 autopilot, course computer, wired remote, display and mechanical linear drive.
-2004 SG3 Smartpilot course computer, display, and Type 2 Hydraulic Drive
-1990 ST50 Wind (2x), Speed (2x), Depth, and Multi displays and their related transducers
-2004 Furuno GPS receivers (2x)
-2010 Camino AIS Class B Transponder
-2010 Standard Horizon Matrix AIS VHF Radio
-Seatalk to RS232/NMEA Converters (2x)
-RS232/NMEA Multiplexers (2x)

Looking to install:
-Large screen MFD (15”) probably e165 or your recommendation, using C-Map and/or Navionics Charts
-Quantum CHRP Radar for better close range targeting
-Thermal Imaging T200 or T300
-Sirius Sat Weather
-Improved Sonar for shallow waters

Questions:
1. We prefer a large screen. Is the functionality and performance of the e165 (15”) the same as the new eS series (12”)? Is there a larger eS series MFD coming soon? Whatv would you recommend?

2. Can we interface and use any or all of the existing ST 50 Transducers for wind, speed, depth? Perhaps using one of your bridge products?

3. Can we interface and use any or all of the existing ST 50 displays (we have 6)? Using Seatalk to SeatalkNG converters.

4. Can we interface and use the existing SG3 Smartpilot? Using Seatalk to SeatalkNG converter?

5. Can we interface and use the existing Autohelm 100/300 autopilot? Using Seatalk to SeatalkNG converter?

6. We are looking for the best accuracy for depth as we are often in very shallow water or entering reefs. Which sonar would you recommend?

7. Can we use our existing GPS data to feed the network or the MFD?

8. Can we use our existing AIS data from either the Transponder or the AIS Matrix radio to feed the network or the MFD? Using Actisense?

I have a system diagram that I have created, if that would help.

Thank you.
