Bill, I don't think you would need to replace wind/depth/speed sensor. Seatalk
can be easily bridge to NMEA2000. After all, those are simple N2K message, not
quite like autopilot. It can be done with an ITC-5 or through the existing
ST-whatever display.
I feel like a little devil on your left shoulder.

Well, Damn you, Jean, or Francois,
You just cost me a couple hours and no doubt more later, as I
sit here slack-jawed watching YouTube videos of what this is capable of! This
looks like watching the Americas Cup on this little screen! I can’t believe the
changing laylines. I downloaded the manual, this is mind boggling.
I really don’t want to Replace my Raymarine CRC80 . . .this
would also probably require new Wind/Speed/Depth and Replacing the Raymarine
autopilot because of that annoying sea-talk.
Knees getting weak . . .

Don't mean
to beat a dead horse.. but.
Here's why I
spent $900.00 on a B&G Zeus Touch. Rugged / Clear Screen in the
sun / Waterproof / No-Nonsense functionality / integration.
It’s so much
more than just a GPS nav..
No-Nonsense
functionality: Has both touch and real buttons that you can use
intuitively in the heat of the battle / wearing gloves
Sailing functionality.
(Sail Magazine 2013 #1 innovation award winner: Sail Steer) ETA /
Waypoints / Tack Laylines automatically optimized via knowledge of currents /
tides / windshifts / GPS position / SOG / COG / VMG . .Etc.
All the normal
sailing gauges / Drive your Autopilot optimized via the aforementioned (Sail
Steer)
Cool
Integration, single interface to view and control from the helm or anywhere on
the boat via an Ipad / Android device on Wifi of the following:
- Full Audio
control --> Control Ipod / Android music lists, Pendora, Independent
volume for speaker zones (Cockpit / Salon / Sub ) (Fusion makes an NMEA
2000 Compliant Ipod / iphone interface / speaker package (260.00
bucks or so) and a full featured Bluetooth / DVD / CD / AM-FM / USB NMEA
compliant
Head unit (About 500.00)
- Radar
- Engine /
Fluid levels monitoring
- Sonar
- AIS
- All Sailing
gauges VMG / Combined actual / apparent wind / close-hauled / etc. etc.
- Chartplotter
/ GPS mapping
Network
Integration:
- NMEA 0183
output built-in to integrate with my Autupilot / VHF
- All my new
transducers / windvanes / sensors are NMEA 2000 compliant and on the backbone +
There's a standard ethernet network output for cheap wifi capabilities.
- No
proprietary networking to fool with or adapter interfaces needed. Any
NMEA 2000 compliant module / display / Ipad / Android app that get hook
on the Wifi / ethenet can benefit from SOG / windspeed / wind direction /
COG / GPS coordinates, etc etc
Software is
upgradable via standard sim card / works with upgraded Navionics chats
All of this
is plug and play on a rugged / waterproof device.
In the big
scheme of things and all the money we spend on these boats 900.00 for this much
integration and easy to use functionality is money well spent.
