The Raymarine T008 bowsprit bracket is an accessory designed to securely mount Raymarine racing instruments, such as the Race Master and Micro Compass, on a spinnaker pole. It allows strategic positioning of the display for improved visibility and optimal accuracy during navigation, particularly during regattas.

The Raymarine T008 bowsprit bracket is compatible with the Raymarine Race Master and the Raymarine Micro Compass. It is specifically designed for these instruments to ensure secure mounting and optimal use on a spinnaker pole.

The Raymarine T008 bowsprit bracket package includes the following items:

Raymarine T008 bowsprit bracket
A mounting interface
Four bolts and nuts
One adhesive foam pad
The plastic compass cradle is not included with the bracket and is supplied separately with the Raymarine compass itself.

After attaching the adhesive foam pad to the underside of the bracket and mounting the interface bracket (if required for the Race Master) using the supplied bolts and nuts, you can secure the entire clamp assembly to the spinnaker pole. This can be done using means such as Velcro, hose clamps, or adhesive tape, depending on your preference. Ensure it is not positioned too far along the pole to maintain easy access to the compass.

Yes, once the T008 bracket is correctly secured to the spinnaker pole mast, it is designed as a permanent fixture. This allows you to easily clip and unclip your Raymarine compass from its bracket each time you sail, without having to remove the entire bracket assembly.

To ensure the accuracy of your Raymarine compass mounted on the T008 bracket, it is critical to follow these guidelines:

The compass must be mounted within 20° of vertical. Do not tilt the compass excessively to port or starboard.Do not install the compass within 0.6 meters (2 feet) of magnetic objects. A conventional compass is considered a magnetic object.Adhering to these rules is essential to avoid interference and ensure the integrity of the data displayed by your instrument.

The T008 clamp includes additional features to enhance the sailing experience:

A hole at the end of the clamp is designed for attaching a bungee. This bungee can be connected to the mast to keep the jib and spinnaker sheets clear of your compass, preventing snags. Another hole at the front of the clamp allows for attaching a safety lanyard. This lanyard, connected to the spinnaker mast, provides extra security for the instrument, protecting it in case of unexpected impact or loosening.

No, the plastic cradle in which the Raymarine compass clips is not included with the T008 bowsprit bracket. This cradle is supplied separately with the Raymarine compass itself. The T008 bracket is designed to accommodate this cradle.
