[C320-list] Replacing Raymarine ST 50+ displays

[Chris Burti]

I don’t know anything about the i60 series or the ST50 series, so I can’t answer any questions. 

However, I replaced my three ST60 instruments with a single i70 instrument because I had upgraded my autopilot to an EVO1 with p70 control head and replaced my Garmin plotter `with an e7 MFD. In order to use my existing transducers I had to add an ITC-5 converter. I found all the information I needed on the Raymarine support website and was able to confirm my questions online with their techs. Upgrade really works well.

As an added benefit, I was able to use my existing Navpod with modification.

Thanks,

My ST 50+ wind sensor (speed) at the masthead no longer works.I want to take this opportunity to replace all the the ST 50+ displays (wind, speed, depth, with i50 (speed, depth), and i60 wind.

I read the i60 wind transducer will screw into the existing ST 50+ socket at the top of the mast and I just need to cut the plug off the display end and replace with 1/8 " connectors and plug into the i60 display.

The question I have, is whether I can use the existing ST 50+speed paddle, and depth transducer with the new i60 displays and just cut the plugs at he display end and attach connectors.The boat is already in the water and I don't want to have to replace the thru hull paddle, and transducer with the new ones.I plan on buying the Raymarine i50/i60 instrument bundle.

Thanks,
