Thanks David. Great information. Everone please read that this is not SeaTalk Generation-1 to NMEA 2000, it's SeaTalk Next Generation (SeaTalkNG) to NMEA 2000. This is possible because SeaTalkNG and NMEA 2000 are packet format and electrically compatible with each other. Raymarine simply decided to use their own connectors vs. the DeviceNet connectors as called out by NMEA.
