Is there a converter or way to input my Raymarine ST60 Wind Transducer to new Garmin network with the Garmin ( Nexus ) GND 10 Wind System?

Hi Chuck.
I think what you want is a bridge between the SeaTalk protocol your ST60 outputs and NMEA 2000 (which Raymarine calls SeaTalkNG). Raymarine has one...

...which I successfully tested with Garmin and other standard N2K displays in 2010:

You will also need an STng to N2K adapter cable to connect the Converter (bridge) to the N2K network your Garmin is using:

You might also need some SeaTalk1 bits in order to create a free ST1 port for the converter.
Ultimately you should have wind data available to the Garmin network and then to a Nexus network via the GND 10.
Raymarine also offers a way to skip SeaTalk1 and convert the ST60's analog transducer output right to N2K, but you will lose calibration ability:
