replacing Raymarine E80 (2007) with a Raymarine es127 MFD

[Captpete12]

I am replacing the E80 MFD on my Beneteau 40 with a new es127 MFD. I installed digital radar three years ago and understand fro raymarine I need a A80247 adaptor for the es127 - simple enough. I also need a e22158 seatalk to seatalk ng converter kit. My question: Where does the cable now used and plugged into the "seatalk high speed" input on the E80 go? Does it go to the autopilot or to an unpowered seatalk bus somewhere? One cable from the e22158 converter need to go to the seatalk input on the autopilot (or, perhaps to an unpowered bus)? This seems to keep getting more complicated !!! Are there any diagrams available for the Beneteau installed Raymarine electronics - that might help.

the HS from your radar would go to the A80247 adapter - in place of the "roll over box" you currently have. - If you have any other HS devices (like IR-Camera's, IP Camera's) the radar would connect to the hub, and the hub would connect to the A80247. You will need the seatalk to seatalkNG converter to get sounder, windspeed, old autopilots - other older Raymarine equipment to talk to you new plotter. if you have any seatalkNG compatible devices - they would connect to the NG side of the network.

Radar--(SeatalkHS)---A80246-(RayNet)--es127--(SeatalkNG) -e22158-(Seatalk)--autopilot,flux compas.....

Not that this would completely 100% help, but I did something similar on my 311 last year and used an es78 (smaller version of yours) with the converters and such. Documented it at https://www.sailbits.com/blog/2016/06/grace-integrated-5-part-network/

I'm about to add the wifi radar, so I will be crossing that bridge as well.

Raymarine also has a very good help forum. Just as another option.

Just bought all the bits and pieces to replace my antiquated and ailing c series display, as well as add radar. I will be integrating an eS75 display with the rest of my seatalk1 network which is ST60 tridata, wind, and autopilot to the extent that the networks will communicate.
During the installation of the eS75, I would like to be able to determine a way to get fuel level, and possibly tach information transmitted to the display since my Yanmar panel location makes it impossible to see from the helm.
I bought the basic backbone components since when finances permit, I will probably upgrade the rest of the instrumentation.

Doug: I have the ST 60+ instruments (tridata, wind indicator, depth) and the ST6000 autopilot. One of the white connectors on the e22158 converter will go to the ST6000 autopilot and that in turn should link the other instruments through the SeaTalk 1. Hopefull all data will then be available for the new es127 MFD. Any comments welcome.
