Seatalk Fail / SmartPilot

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

The last series of autopilot course computers produced by Raymarine which would have been compatible with the ST7001 would have been the SPX Autopilots which were retired more than three years ago. The Evolultion autopilots replace the SPX autopilots, are vastly superior with respect to heading performance, but a not compatible with the ST7001, requiring that the autopilot control head be replaced. While most devices having a SeaTalk communications interface may be adapted to be interfaced to a SeaTalkng backbone which is used to network Evolution autopilot components, it would be necessary to have you supply a complete list of the current system's devices to respond accurately regarding compatibility.
