Hi all,
The short version of my question...
Anyone happen to know what NMEA 2000 PGNs are output to the SealTalk-NG port by the Raymarine EV-1 sensor core and/or ACU-200? Or if either outputs SOG, COG, and Rate of Turn, specifically?
The long version of my question...
I just bought a "new to me" boat that came with a Raymarine Autopilot. It seems to have the EV-1 sensor core connected to an ACU-200.
I'd like to add a Em-Tek A100 Class A AIS:

According to the manual, even though it has an internal GPS, it needs to get COG, SOG, and ROT NMEA 0183 data from an external source. I have emailed them to confirm this.

ROT (Rate of Turn) is the tricky one that I can't get externally from an inexpensive GPS or heading sensor.
Raymarine says the EV-1 has an angular rate sensor that should be able to provide that output. And, it has a Seatalk-NG interface to which it reportedly outputs NMEA 2000 data which can be converted to NMEA 0183.
But, bizarrely, the EV-1/ACU manual suggests that each only outputs rudder angle data.

Having said that, users on various forums report seeing various other NMEA 2000 data on the output and/or using it to supply data to AIS units or other autopilots.
Would anyone happen to know what NMEA 2000 PGNs it outputs, or the equivalent NMEA 0183 sentences? Or, if it outputs ROT, COG, and SOG, specifically? And, if so, how?
Thanks so very much!
