So then back to the original question. Could these B&G H1000 era transducers
be effectively connected to newer Raymarine displays? All of the data seems
good on the B&G. The wiring and the boxes in behind the bulkheads look almost
new. The transducers are obviously working. The displays however are
difficult to read from angles and on one there are some lines missing on the
bottom of the screen. I can however effectively use all three but would prefer
something much clearer. The former ST50 and ST60 series were very readable and
the new ones obviously more so. Also – would not wish to have noticeable lag
when watching speed etc.
Am considering replacing with the ST50/ST60 tripack and removing and selling
the B&G H1000 transducers and wiring and everything as one package. Also have
added a Raymarine A65 for nav station chartplotter so it would work with the
ST50/60 set and as a result have a working Furuno G31 GPS and antenna to sell
as well. New stuff is so much prettier. Call me a crow.

Jean-Francois — just to expand on this, pretty much any older transducer (and
many of the new ones) do NOT directly output NMEA0183 or NMEA2000 data; most of
the depth, speed and wind transducers need to be connected to a display head
which will then convert the signals into NMEA0183, NMEA2000 or SeaTalk data.
The exceptions are the “smart” transducers from Airmar (and others; but Airmar
makes most of the transducers for most of the manufacturers); these are capable
of being directly connected to NMEA0183 or NMEA2000 networks.
You can also get boxes from some manufacturers that will convert the older
transducer outputs into usable network data. An example would be the ITC-5
from Raymarine which takes the analog outputs of speed, wind, depth,
temperature, fluxgate compass and rudder position transducers and converts it
all into a SeaTalkNG data stream that can be also used in most cases on an
NMEA2000 network. It’s a nice (and pretty inexpensive) way to move into the
newer data network topologies.

Hi Mike,
The easiest thing would be to find out the nature of the signal is out of the
computers / transducers. If it's NMEA 0183 compatible then you just get a NMEA
0183 to NMEA 2000 converter (A Google search will easily get that) If not find
out if there is a way to get the signal converted to NMEA 0183 then you take
that and convert it further to NMEA 2000.
Once you get to NMEA 2000 than pretty much all MFD's / chartplotters can use
it. Of course you'll have some latency / refresh rate annoyances as the
conversion will introduce some lag in the process.
Honestly though. It's probably worth a haul-out to pop then ancient stuff out
and pop-in fresh transducers.
I had that done this spring. It was a surprisingly simple process, the new
masthead was pretty simple to install and speed / temp / depth transducer takes
just one through hull an is very accurate. The underwater transducer is the
same standard size as the old one (Both made by Airmar), it was basically and
pop-off / pop-in job.
I installed a pair of new B&G Triton MFD's and a Zeus chartplotter. The
displays are amazingly clear / easy to use / and full of neat features. All
the above works on a standard NMEA 2000 backbone so adding other sensors /
displays in the future should simply be a plug and play into the backbone
affair regardless of the brand.
Good Luck,

Anybody on this list use B&G H1000 series instruments? I have these on
my Frers 33 and the displays are sometimes difficult to read (esp at
night and on angles) and are starting to lose some of what I call raster
lines (for lack of proper term). Does anyone know if there is a newer
Multifunction display that is compatable with the behind the scenes
computers and transducers?
Thanks Mike
