Hi Fred, Thanks for your thoughtful response! I appreciate real-world experience over reading between the lines of technical literature any day.
The Raymarine literature reads " *Power must be supplied by either the SeaTalk network OR the SeaTalkng bus; it must not be powered from both sides. If present, the preferred power supply method is via a connected autopilot*." To me this means the source of DC power can be the autopilot, but now I understand it must be fed through a standard power tee or a converter port. Please let me know if that's not right. In any case, I'll plan to extend the SeaTalkNG buss using standard NMEA 2000 hardware for future non-proprietary compatibility and will use either a power tee or a port on the converter to power the buss. Your input is appreciated, I will be in touch for a quote once the details of the BOM are finalized. -- Tim Rutherford [email protected] 813 748 4888 <(813)%20748-4888> cel/text On Sat, Dec 16, 2017 at 2:46 PM, Frederick G Street via CnC-List < [email protected]> wrote: > Tim — you can’t power a SeaTalkNG bus through the SeaTalk1 connection on > the converter; you’ll need to add a short SeaTalkNG backbone cable to a > “T”, then use the power (red) cable that comes with the converter kit to > get 12 volts onto the SeaTalkNG bus.
