I'm considering upgrading from a Classic E-120 to either an eS97 or eS127. Rather than completely rewiring the helm, I'd like to have the option of doing the wotk in phases. Currently my RS130 is connected to the E120 via a SeaTalkng Converter. The only other connection to the E120 is from the transducer thru the DSM300 via SeaTalkHS.
The other instruments (ST60, Raypilot650, SmartPilot S3, Triducer)) are on a second basic network, with no connection to the E120. Ultimately, I'd put them (or their replacements) on the SeaTalkng network.
Could I connect the current transducer (Airmar B60-200-Ray 50/200) directly to the new MFD (via E85001), and get rid of the DSM300?
I have a feeling that this will be a bit more complicated than flush mounting the new MFD.
