[DG] [DG11] Compability evolution pilot with older equipment

[pitch68]

Hello,

First of all, congratulations and thank you for this wonderful and very useful forum !

I am the happy owner of a 49 foot catamaran (10 tons dry) from 2010 with original raymarine equipment (ST60+, C90W, ST-6002, SPX-30) and a jefa DU-DD1-RFB2.

Because I am planning a long circumnavigation, I would like to carry with me spare parts for the autopilot. But since the SPX-30 is not produced any more, I will either have to buy used components or to switch to the newer evolution system.

Hence my question, is the evolution autopilot compatible with the rest of my system, including the jefa direct drive type 1, without too much hassle ? What do I need to change/adapt to make it work ?

A lot of information on this forum and elsewhere, but I could not find a definite answer to my questions.

Thank you

Pitch
