Thanks everyone for your input. The Aqua Signal connector looks like a great 
idea as we take down the mast every year for haul out.

We use one of these on the wind cable to facilitate the removal of the mast 
instead of the white box.

Paul — Ken is absolutely correct (as usual…) about the white wind vane cable 
connection box.  As far as other installation tips, you can daisy-chain the 
instruments per the manual to share data across them.  You will need to provide 
a power connection on the SeaTalkNG bus to power them; and you will need to 
properly terminate the bus in order for it to work reliably.  If you’re tying 
in with an autopilot or MFD, that will make the SeaTalkNG bus more complicated.

[Ken Heaton via CnC-List]

The small white junction box is if you need to cut the wire at the base of
the mast to allow the mast to be removed from the boat without pulling the
wind Sensor cable all the way back to the instrument.  You don't need to
install the white box right away, you could leave a couple of loops in the
cable near the mast base and run the wire to the wind instrument.  You
could cut the cable and install the junction box later if you need to pull
the mast.  When you do, you just bare the wires and insert into the little
terminals and tighten the screws.

There should be small spade connectors included in the kit to crimp onto
the cable at the back of the instrument.

Re: Stus-List Raymarine i50 & i60 installation tips?

[Paul via CnC-List]

Hi Fred,
Right now am just installing the wind, speed and depth.
The wind vane package has a small white connections box with a connector bar 
assuming this is for the mast cable to instrument connections. Are there 
special connectors to crimp onto each lead in the cable or do you just strip 
and insert then tighten down the screw?  You can see a small flat plate that 
each screw pushes down as part on the connection mechanism. There isn't any 
documentation regarding wind vane cabling in the i60 or wind vane boxes other 
than spade connections to the back of the i60. 

Thanks

Paul - the installation is fairly straightforward, and the instructions in the 
manuals are pretty good; what questions in particular do you have?  As Mike 
mentioned, you may need to get some SeaTalkNG network components, depending on 
how you need to network things.

Hi Paul

When we installed the i50/i60 in 2014 we had to buy some networking components 
to connect them properly for TWS etc...  These networking pieces did not come 
in the system pack with our wind/speed/depth instruments.

Likely Fred can explain what is needed and why.  I am still surprised that 
everything needed was not included in the pack
