Hi,
Currently have my Simrad AP27 remote control head networked though the inside AP16 on the Robnet2 side. Trouble is the AP27 dosen't see the simnet side or my chart plotter. Original manual for the ap27 claimed an Robnet2/ Simnet adapter was available to network to the Simnet side, but Simrad tech says I'm out of luck.
Been thinking of cutting off the AP27 blue plub and replacing with Siment Yellow end to plug into simnet backbone. No idea if it will work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The only way that could solve your issues is if that managed to fry your AP16/27 and then force you to replace it with something from this decade.
Robnet is rumored to be RS-485.
Simnet is completely CAN.
The only way out that I see is through good old NMEA-0183.
