Hi,
Yes, Raymarine makes adapters to convert the ST60 Seatalk output to Seatalk NG/ NMEA2000.
I did the same thing a few years ago - got the output from the ST wind and speed to input into my Garmin 740S, which uses NMEA2000. This year I changed from the Garmin to a B&G Vulcan and everything is communicating nicely.
The part you need is:
Raymarine SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter kit
Part Number: E22158
You might need another adapter to convert from the Raymarine connector (Seatalk NG) to a standard NMEA2000 connector. Raymarine makes those as well with different genders as required.

There are restrictions as to which Seatalk versions can be connected too NMEA 2000 networks. You cannot have a three way network with SeaTalk1/SeaTalk
ng/NMEA2000.
From the SeaTalk Reference Manual .
"Limitations when SeaTalk(1) products are connected
If SeaTalkng and SeaTalk(1) products are used together, do NOT connect an
NMEA2000 backbone, as this product combination could compromise the integrity of
the NMEA2000 system.
Using with SeaTalk(1)
Provided you do not want to connect to NMEA2000, you can connect a SeaTalkng
system to SeaTalk(1) using a suitable SeaTalkng bridging product (such as an ST70
instrument) and adaptor cables to connect the two systems.
If you intend doing this, note that:
• You can connect a single SeaTalk(1) network to SeaTalkng using an adaptor cable
and one bridging product (e.g. ST70 instrument).
• You can connect two separate SeaTalk(1) networks to SeaTalkng using different
adaptor cables and bridging products (e.g. ST70 instruments), but the two
SeaTalk(1) networks must NOT be connected together.
Summaries of acceptable and unacceptable SeaTalkng/SeaTalk(1) scenarios are
shown in Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4 respectively."
