I had a similar issue with 0183 to 2000 conversion. I bought the B&G Triton wind, speed, depth package, thinking that I would take the mast down this year to install the wind transducer, and that I could install the speed, depth,temp transducer in the old housing. Neither of those installations were possible this year, so I was left with converting data from old Raytheon ST60 displays to the new 2000 system. I had a Raymarine seatalk to seatalk ng converter which came with a GPS receiver I bought several years ago so I fed the seatalk data from the ST60 wind and tridata heads to the converter and bought a seatalk ng to NMEA2000 cable which plugs into a T in the 2000 backbone. Everything works fine and all data appears on the new displays. Next year when I haul the boat, I'll replace the depth, speed, temp transducer and the mast head wind system.
