Hi Curtis,
With everything hooked up correctly, I think you need to "engage" the
auto-pilot.

No, The guy at Garmin said that the echo50s I purchased is
compatible with 0183 and should work fine.
Wire color to color and it should be fine. it also speaks the 2000.
I called raymarine and they said the difference in in the version of
the 0183 in my equipment. the older version is vr 3.0 the newer
version is 3.5 After giving him some numbers he decided I had the
3.5 version of the 1083.
I just could not find any instructions on haw to work it after it
was hooked up.
So now, If I understand you correctly. I first have to create a
route then to start navigating a course or to a way-point. That
should start broadcasting a course to steer signal. then I in-gauge
the st4000 by pressing the +10 and -10 at the same time and it
should start taking direction from the Garmin?
does this sound correct?

I guess I jumped the assumption gun on the last responce. You
question is too vague. I should have started with, "What protocol
is the garmin using? What protocol is the autohelm using? What
protocal are your masthead instruments using? If you want them to
all talk together then you will probably find yourself needing a
multiplexer/converter. The older stuff is probably working with
NMEA 0183 (listen to 1 - RX, talk to 3 - TX). The garmin is
probably on NMEA 2000 which has a handy daisy chain feature which
makes things real easy. The way I understand it each component can
just put a message on the line and all the others can pick it
up. The problem is they 0183 and 2000 don't talk to one another
without a converter. If this is the case then i think you need to
multiplex all your 0183 devices to a 2000 signal. I believe you can
find combiner/converters for about $400.

Got it all wired in today and I need some help.
I have an older model Autohelm St4000 and a new Echo50s Garmin.\I
have the blue wire from the control head going to the blue wire on
the Garmin I have the red wire to the inst switch and a common
ground to the batt.
I have the baud rate set to 4800.
Here goes the dumbest question I have asked.
How do I get it to steer the boat? The st400 when in gauged will
respond to the control head. How do I get it to steer a course?
Thanks so much for your help. one other question. IO have a
transducer at the top of my mast with App and True Wind / Wind
Speed, I have a gauge that I want to use in one location but I want
the information to go into the Garmin as well.It will take the
information according to the instruction I just don't know how to
get all of the inputs in the one last remaining brown wire on the garmin?
Thanks again for your help
