I am in the process of rearranging my
cockpit layout and part of that is moving the sailing
instruments from
deck level to a pod in the new roof. I also have an ST6000+
autopilot controller on the
steering binnacle which I am planning on moving to the top as well.
To make it still manageable from the
helm I have a wired
remote control that I was going to locate at the
helm instead of having it for roaming around the
boat (never used it for that, don’t like the concept).
But I also have a second controller exactly the same as the one integrated into the system.
So my question is: Can I connect two main controllers into the system at the same time? My thinking is that the
remote controller is essentially no different than the main controller so it should
work. They both connect via
Seatalk network.
Images show the controller on the left and the remote on the right.
Has anyone tried this or seen it done?
