Almost certainly they will not. The leads and designs are markedly
different for the AWI and knotmeter. The depth finder *might* get by
but it's not worth the effort (and risk) to find out. Bottom line: buy
the three pack (AWI, speed, and depth gauges), it'll be cheaper than
onesy-twosy buying.
 
I didn't ask Raymarine about this but, once I got into the installation,
it's obvious they're not compatible.
 
For the record, I like the feel of the Datamarine AWI more. The ST-60
gear is good when it behaves but the AWI has problems (spikes in wind
speed data, the AWI indicator occasionally just walks around the dial...
Not Good). I'm on to Datamarine about this but it's a slow process.
