ray marine st60 tridata to MFD depth
The C80 MFD has a sea talk cable connected to it from a Raymarine white box ( junction box only).....two into the box, one from the GPS antenna, the other 12volts to feed the sea talk I believe.I have tested all connections and all functions as it should, so after all this lengthy story, my real question is if I connect the st60 to the Mfd will I get a fish finder looking display and if so how the heck do I do it.
Also have a Garmin gpsmap942xs which is fish finder display capable, just don't know if the st60 will talk to the Garmin.
So if anyone understands this .....please help.

Re: ray marine st60 tridata to MFD depth
The only way the Garmin will communicate with the ST60 is if the ST60 can pick up NMEA sounder sentences from the Garmin. The Garmin must be able to output those and the ST60 must be able to input and recognize them. These sentences are generic NMEA sentences for sounders.

Re: ray marine st60 tridata to MFD depth
Spoke to a marine instrument/electrical installer who said all he has ever taken out were all bad, it seems they did have troubles with the MIM ones, apparently they stepped up and repaired them though...... . Would have been nice to turn the C80 into a fish finder/backup chart plotter .....
