Seatalk failure

[Wainui]

Hi
Lightning strike near boat took out Autopilot.
Replaced with new X30 Raymarine
ST6000 is working with new AP
When I link out of the ST6000 to either the ST60 wind or speed or depth instrument which all work the ST6000 goes into Seatalk failure mode.
Any ideas to fix this problem.
Thanks
M

The same thing happened to my st6o from a nearby lightning strike. The Seatalk connection to the chart/plotter still worked so I just disconnected the cable from the ST60 to the autohelm. I couldn't get depth or wind on my chart/plotter anymore, but I never really read them from there anyway.

Turns out that the other instruments that were in the Seatalk chain had a damaged ST but were functioning.
By clipping the yellow wire past the AP controller made the Seatalk failure go away.
Many thanks to Dan Herhardt!
