Yes the NP711C/OB can interface with the Optimus. We have tested it and it works VERY well. We will be posting installation guides and sending out details to our dealers soon. You will need to purchased the IF-NMEA2k2 in addition to the the pilot to act as an interface to the SeaStar Optimus bus. You will need to upgrade the IF-NMEA2k2 to new software for Optimus. This is easily done from a TZT or TZT2 display. If you get the system before we post the guides/information, contact tech support for details.
