I put in a Raymarine Seatalkng network a few years ago with Fred’s help and am very happy with the system. I added a Airmar DST800 depth/speed/temp tri-ducer last spring that I bought on eBay which plugged right into the network and worked perfectly. It even fit into the hole from the old transducer with no modification. For wind, I have a TacTic wireless wind sensor on the mast which I love because it needs no wiring, but you need a converter to get the signal into the Seatalkng network. Given Raymarine seems to be making no progress at all on wireless, when I need to replace my masthead sensor, I will probably install a Sailtimer masthead unit (https://sailtimerwind.com <https://sailtimerwind.com/>).
