[CA] Seatalk to Garmin 740s?

RE: Seatalk to Garmin 740s?
Skip,

Q1. I will connect the Seatalk-Seatalkng converter (blue connection) to the end of an existing NMEA2000 backbone (replacing the terminator). Your previous answer said to use a Seatalkng backbone cable with an adapter for this connection. The Seatalk-Seatalkng converter came with a 1 meter cable labeled as a spur cable but it looks the same as a short backbone cable. Can I use that spur cable (with adapter of course) for connecting the converter to the NMEA backbone?
A1. Negative. SeaTalkng Spur Cables (white w/black stripe) cannot be mated to a SeaTalkng backbone socket (blue). You will need to obtain an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Backbone Cable for the stated purpose.

Q2. The existing NMEA2000 backbone does have power which as you explained will power the ST-STng converter. I assume then the ST40 Bidata will receive its power from the converter since it is powered by the backbone.
A2. Correct.
