E22158 Seatalk1 to SeatalkNG compatibility for new install

Alex,

This Forum and its predecessor forum have consistently recommended that autopilot course computer designs introduced prior to the Type 150/300 Autopilot Course Computers (S2/S2G/S3/S3G) not be interfaced to a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. As the Type 100 Autopilot Course Computer design preceded the Type 150/300 Autopilot Course Computer design, it is recommended that the Type 100 Autopilot Course Computer be interfaced via NMEA 0183 communications protocol to Raymarine's currently manufactured MFDs. When doing so, the autopilot control head should also be disconnected from the SeaTalk bus and will instead only be interfaced to the autopilot course computer.
