T&T: Depthfinder "Extension"?

Vic,

I believe the ST60 is one of the depth sounders I have.  It has an NMEA
output.  You should be able to connect that output to a monitor on the
bridge that reads NMEA, including a laptop running a nav program.

The question for the list is this:  is there a way I can install a
"splitter" or "fork" in the wiring of either of the two existing
depthfinders, so that I could send a signal to a new monitor on my fly
bridge...or do I need to install an entirely separate, third depthfinder
system?

The two current depthfinders are 1) an oldie but well-functioning SITEX
AVS-107 and 2) a more modern Raymarine ST60.  If I had my druthers, I would
extend the ST60 to the flybridge.
