Detailed description
Detailed description
The Garmin mast mount (SKU: 010-12117-06) is an accessory designed specifically for installing Garmin gWind™ and gWind Wireless wind sensors. It provides secure and stable attachment of these transducers at the masthead, a critical element for collecting accurate anemometric data while sailing.
Mount Integration and Functionality
This mount is a spare or replacement part for Garmin gWind wind systems. It ensures mechanical compatibility of the sensor with the mast structure, allowing the transducer to operate optimally. The gWind Wireless sensor, which it supports, is known for its wireless design powered by solar energy, simplifying installation by eliminating the need to run cables through the mast. Once mounted on this support, the transducer transmits wind data (angle and speed) via an ANT® connection to compatible Garmin displays such as GNX™ Wind instruments or GPSMAP® chartplotters from the 8400/8600 and 7400/7600 series, or via an NMEA 2000® network.
Comparison with Competitive Solutions
While brands like B&G or Raymarine offer their own wind sensor systems and associated mounts, Garmin’s gWind system with this type of mount stands out for integrating a wireless and solar-powered solution for its transducers. This approach reduces installation complexity and wiring maintenance. This mount is sized to accommodate the gWind sensor, which measures 345 mm x 610 mm and weighs 350 g. It is compatible with masts up to 15 meters (50 feet) for transducer installation. Its design is suited to withstand marine conditions and is engineered to support the gWind Wireless 2 transducer, which has an IPX6 rating, ensuring protection against heavy seas. The mount is supplied with mounting hardware and documentation for standard installation.
