I'm trying to add a sirius satellite weather receiver to my existing Raymarine Es7 display, which is ram-mounted on top of the pedestal and has AIS fed from a down-below VHF receiver. (I managed to do that myself awhile back).
So one side of the pedestal tube I filled very full with AIS cabling plus power for the Es7, and I just realized the other side is full too, with (an older) autopilot connection, plus binnacle light power. I can't fit another Raymarine custom-headed cable, needed to connect to the SR200 Sirius receiver, in either side. The options I can think of are: 1. Maybe combine the binnacle light and ES7 power cabling to make a little more room on one side. Might possibly be enough... 2. Invest more $$ and install a Seatalk network connector, which I THINK(??) means the AIS and Sirius signals could get to the Es7 display via a single cable? Can anyone confirm this? I have the question into Raymarine support, but.... waiting .... I have no plans to add more stuff to a network, and am one of those retired semi-IT guys who is NOT at all excited about playing with boat electronics.... Any suggestions or advice?
