Raymarine EV autopilot and Maretron Wind compatability

Vote 0 Votes

Will be installing the Raymarine EV below deck autopilot on my (new to me) Columbia 10.7.
As I'll be single handing a lot, one of the important features I'll use is the wind vane mode on the autopilot. Obviously for this I'll need wind direction from a transducer; the current transducer is analog.
I would like to use the new Maretron WSO ultrasonic wind transducer (mast is off the boat so a good time to change this). I'm concerned though about the a/p picking up the data.
I thought I could use a Furuno N2K hub, then connect the Maretron and A/P to that? Anyone know if that will work?
The advantage would be I could also tie in GPS and AIS to the hub and then access viamy Mac.

Thoughts and ideas appreciated,

Thanks
Jon
