ST60 Multi replacement

[cpt_757]

My ST60 multi dead. Any equivalent replacement instruments?
I have other 4 instruments connected with seatalk, maybe Raymarine stuff better but newer instruments do not have a version like Multi.

1. You can get a replacement from ebay.com for about $249.

2. You can look for a used ST6001 head that displays the same information and allows autopilot control (approx. same cost)

3. You can get a new NASA Marine NMEA instrument and feed it nmea data from the chart plotter but make sure the chart plotter translates the data that you need to NMEA (for example, Raymarine autopilots will output nmea wind data only if they are fed nmea wind. If they are fed analog wind data from a Raymarine vane then they will keep it on Seatalk (stupid vendor lock).

4. Last, you can get a $9 serial/nmea to Bluetooth converter and display the data on your phone + OpenCPN.

Thanks, I may send it to Factory to roll ace the board or just get from eBay.

It is. I have one, and you can page through SeaTalk data as well as adjust the autopilot.
