I changed the wind vane last year (B&G 608 with simnet) and hoping to not replace it again. And therefore I am looking for the answer for the same question as #1.

Can I connect the 506 throught simnet-seatalkng to the i60 / raymarine?

Yes you will be able to connect it because everything is NMEA2000. But you will not be able to calibrate it from an i60 (For that, each manufacturer uses proprietary PGNs).

You will need to mechanically center the wind transducer in place.
