At the risk of being a Luddite... I love my auto-pilot and use it constantly. But by design it is isolated from all electronics. I like being "the interface" and having to constantly check the course et al. Seems safer to me.

I have an older model Autohelm St4000 and a new Echo50s Garmin.\I have the blue wire from the control head going to the blue wire on the Garmin I have the red wire to the inst switch and a common ground to the batt. I have the baud rate set to 4800. Here goes the dumbest question I have asked. How do I get it to steer the boat? The st400 when in gauged will respond to the control head. How do I get it to steer a course? Thanks so much for your help. one other question. IO have a transducer at the top of my mast with App and True Wind / Wind Speed, I have a gauge that I want to use in one location but I want the information to go into the Garmin as well.It will take the information according to the instruction I just don't know how to get all of the inputs in the one last remaining brown wire on the garmin?
