Detailed description

The WS300/700 anemometer vane is the official replacement part designed by B&G, essential for maintaining the latest-generation wind sensors. It restores the original wind measurement performance of compatible B&G sensors. This part is compatible with the WS300 series, designed for cruising and club racing, as well as with the high-performance WS700 series.

Certified B&G replacement part for maintained accuracy

As an original B&G part (reference 000-15144-001), this vane ensures a perfect fit and preserves the functional integrity of your sensor. It is compatible with wired models WS310, wireless WS320, and all vertical carbon sensors in the WS700 range. Using a certified part is essential to maintain the reliability and accuracy of your navigation system, critical for autopilots and performance instruments.

Aerodynamic optimization and reliable wind data

B&G WS300 and WS700 sensors underwent over 500 hours of wind-tunnel testing to optimize their aerodynamic profile, ensuring stable and accurate wind data. Replacing a damaged vane with this original model is necessary to maintain measurement accuracy for wind angle (less than 1° for WS300, ±0.5° for WS700) and speed (less than 0.2 knots). Unlike generic parts that may disrupt airflow dynamics, this vane ensures your system continues to provide critical data with the rigor expected from B&G equipment, outperforming any non-certified alternative in terms of performance and integration.

« Essential: the original wind vane for B&G WS300/700 sensor accuracy »

The wind transducer for WS300/700 sensors is a spare part whose importance is often underestimated, but it is critical to the integrity of the B&G wind measurement system. A damaged wind transducer directly compromises the accuracy of apparent and true wind data, which has a major impact on autopilot performance and the reliability of navigation instruments. For regattas, even minor deviations, such as the +/- 0.5° of the WS700, can influence tactical decisions and race strategy. For cruising, reliable measurements are essential for route planning and sail trim optimization. Using this original B&G part is essential to maintain the precise aerodynamic profile, the result of over 500 hours of wind tunnel testing on the WS300/700 sensors. This ensures the system continues to provide critical data with the rigor expected from B&G equipment, guaranteeing optimal integration and performance within your NMEA network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Is this wind transducer compatible with my B&G WS310 wind sensor?

Yes, this wind transducer is the official replacement part and is therefore fully compatible with the B&G WS310 wired wind sensor.

Can I install this wind transducer on a B&G WS320 wireless anemometer?

Yes. This spare part is designed to be compatible with the B&G WS320 wireless wind sensor, which is part of the WS300 series.

Can this part be used on older B&G wind sensor models?

No, this wind transducer is specifically designed for the B&G WS300 and WS700 wind sensor series. It is not compatible with previous generations of sensors.

Is this a universal part for all anemometers?

No, this is not a universal part. It is specifically manufactured for B&G models in the WS300 series (including WS310, WS320) and WS700.

What is the difference between this vane anemometer and an unofficial part?

As an original B&G part, it guarantees:

Perfect fit on the sensor.Maintenance of aerodynamic performance tested in wind tunnel.Preservation of measurement accuracy for your navigation system.

What is the main purpose of this product?

This product is a replacement wind vane designed to restore the original performance of a B&G WS300 or WS700 wind sensor whose wind vane has been damaged or lost.

Is this an official B&G spare part?

Yes, this is a certified original B&G part, bearing the manufacturer reference 000-15144-001.

Why is it important to replace a damaged wind transducer?

A damaged wind transducer directly affects the accuracy of wind angle and speed measurements. Replacing it is crucial for the reliability of navigation data and the proper operation of the autopilot.

What is included in the packaging?

The product contains only the replacement wind transducer for WS300/700 sensor. Other parts of the sensor, such as the anemometer (cups) or the sensor body, are not included.

How important is the aerodynamic design of this wind transducer?

The WS300/700 sensor design is the result of over 500 hours of wind-tunnel testing. Using the original wind transducer is essential to maintain this optimized profile and ensure stable, accurate wind data.

What is the exact manufacturer reference for this part?

The manufacturer reference (SKU or Part Number) for this replacement wind transducer is 000-15144-001.

Where is this wind transducer installed?

This wind transducer is installed directly on the B&G WS300 or WS700 wind sensor unit, which is typically positioned at the masthead of the sailboat.

Are specific tools required to install the new wind transducer?

Installation generally does not require special tools. However, it is essential to take all necessary safety precautions when accessing and working at the masthead.

Do I need to recalibrate my navigation system after changing the wind transducer?

Yes, after replacing the wind transducer, a calibration procedure to align the sensor is highly recommended. This ensures the instrument displays the correct wind direction relative to the boat's axis.

Is the installation complicated?

The part is designed for direct fitment, which simplifies mechanical replacement. The main difficulty lies in safely accessing the sensor, which is located at the masthead.

Does using this part preserve the warranty on my B&G sensor?

Yes, as an official and certified B&G spare part, its use is the only way to ensure the integrity and warranty of your WS300 or WS700 wind sensor.

Is this wind transducer compatible with Simrad wind sensors?

This wind transducer is specifically designed and certified for B&G wind sensors in the WS300 and WS700 series. Its use with products from other brands, even within the same group, is not officially guaranteed by B&G.
