Its HS 30 aluminum construction with a hard-anodized finish ensures optimal resistance to corrosion and UV radiation in marine environments.

Positioning and mounting type

This bracket is specifically designed for top mounting, directly on the masthead. It differs from the BGH030009 mast face bracket, which is intended for installation on the front of the mast profile. Therefore, the choice of the BGH030008 bracket depends on the configuration and desired location of the wind sensor at the masthead.

« The foundation of accuracy: a uncompromising mount for your VMHU »

The accuracy of a B&G wind sensor fundamentally depends on the stability of its mounting. The BGH030008 bracket is not just an accessory; it's an engineered part designed to eliminate vibrations and ensure perfect positioning of the VMHU unit. Its construction from HS 30 aluminum with hard anodization is not a trivial choice: it prevents galvanic corrosion upon contact with the mast and ensures exceptional longevity against UV and salt. Using this genuine B&G part guarantees the mechanical integrity and reliability of your navigation system's data in the long term.
