ST60+ Speed Instrument Compatibility w/ Airmar CS4500

[Dan_Y]

Is the Airmar CS4500 speed/temp xdcr pin compatible with the ST800 speed/temp transducer? Can the ST60+ compute speed with the cs4500?

The CS 4500 measures down to 0.1knt versus 2knts for the ST800 and the EV-1 would perform even better on a sailboat with the CS4500.
Airmar brochure claims CS4500 has pulsed analog output like ST800 with about 2K more pulses per nm, but wanted to be sure before purchasing. It's expensive, but not needing to pull the st800 paddlewheel when the boat sits would be great. Raymarine does not appear to offer the CS4500 and that concerns me. Thanks, Dan
