{"product_id":"raymarine-etrier-mat-sangle-t005-fixation-instrument","title":"Mast clamp (with strap)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    The Raymarine T005 is a mast clamp designed for the secure mounting of navigation instruments, particularly the Micro Compass. It provides a flexible and adjustable mounting solution, allowing for quick installation on various mast sections without drilling.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and T005 Components\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The T005 clamp is supplied with a complete set of accessories for immediate installation. The package includes the clamp, a double-sided Velcro strap, an adhesive Velcro patch, two foam strips, a nut, a bolt, and two washers. Installation begins by applying the adhesive Velcro patch to the front of the mast. The instrument cradle (supplied with the Micro Compass) is then attached to the clamp using M4 bolts and nuts. Foam pads are positioned on the clamp to cushion contact with the mast. The Velcro strap is threaded through the clamp’s side slots, tightened firmly, and secured. A minimum overlap of 8 mm is recommended for the strap.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStability and Usage Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    To ensure optimal rotational stability, several adjustments can be made. The position of the foam pads can be checked and moved outward if necessary, or the strap can be retightened to increase tension. The clamp also features a central hole for inserting a bolt to prevent unwanted rotation. Alternatively, Raymarine offers a mast bracket (part number T932) compatible with mast rails, providing a different mounting option for specific needs. It is essential to mount the compass with a maximum tilt of 20° from vertical and to keep it at least 0.6 m away from any magnetic objects, including conventional compasses. An installation check is required before each voyage to ensure equipment safety.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55902085710164,"sku":"T005","price":69.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main-square_3c814c94-b3ee-40a0-9e54-cda728503acb.jpg?v=1779383349","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-us\/products\/raymarine-mast-clamp-strap-t005-instrument-mount","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
