Seatalk is a RayMarine proprietary protocol used between SeaTalk devices. It is not compatible with NMEA. You cannot simply connect them together. The SeaTalk data must be converted to the NMEA protocol before connecting to the NMEA device. There are devices available that will do the conversion known as a SeaTalk-NMEA bridge.
