have working raymarine a57d. also have 4 uninstalled autohelm seatalk instruments. goal: connect a57d to seatalk instruments. raymarine a57d installation instructions call for a seatalk to nmea 0183 bridging device/converter such as a raymarine E85001

It looks like that unit has seatalk ng? Get the seatalk ng to seatalk kit. Forget the 183.

Right. The E22158 works great, and should be able to also power all 4 instruments. The only caveat is that you appear to have very old Autohelm instruments, and it's possible that the converter won't convert old SeaTalk sentences...
