The Raymarine Sea Talk REFERENCE MANUAL lists:įrom close study of the illustration, it looks to me like the adaptor parts have the SeaTalkNG connector which is used in the backbone. Is the SeaTalkNG to NMEA-2000 adaption placed in the drop cable? In other words, do I only need an adaptor for the drop cable, one end compatible with SeaTalkNG and the other end with DeviceNet and LowranceNET? Is the SeaTalkNG to NMEA-2000 adaptation placed in the backbone? In other words, do I have to splice in a Raymarine T-connector and use a Raymarine drop cable to the Raymarine device? I am not clear on where the adaptor is employed. Should I want to connect a Raymarine SeaTalkNG device to my small boat NMEA-2000 network, some sort of adaptor is needed. (And just to make things interesting, the most recent packaging of LowranceNET devices had them all in BLACK plastic!) If this is all reasonably true, then: I also think that LowranceNET devices with the RED plastic are the newer more compatible style. I also believe that LowranceNET is now on-board with the official NMEA wiring standard DeviceNet, or at least close enough to it that it can be interconnected with no problem. As far as I can tell, I believe Evinrude uses Lowrance devices for their NMEA-2000 components. The backbone will most likely use NMEA-2000 wiring and T-devices from Lowrance or Evinrude.
