General information
An ST70+ system comprises one or more color displays, controlled by one or more
keypads. These products are connected to the boat’s SeaTalk
ng
system from which
they receive autopilot and transducer data. Refer to the SeaTalk

In a SeaTalk

backbone using spur cables. Transducers are also connected, either via compatible
pods or directly, depending on transducer type.
