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 contains the following items:

The T008 bowsprit bracket
A mounting bracket
Four bolts and nuts
A self-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 under 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. It is important not to place it too far along the pole to maintain easy access to the compass.

Yes, once the T008 bracket is properly secured to the spinnaker mast, it is designed to be a permanent fixture. This allows you to easily clip and unclip your Raymarine compass from its cradle each time you sail, without having to dismantle 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 prevent interference and maintain the integrity of the data displayed by your instrument.

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

A hole at the end of the clamp is designed for attaching a shock cord. This cord can be connected to the mast to keep the genoa and spinnaker sheets clear of your compass, preventing snags. Another hole at the front of the clamp allows for a safety lanyard. This lanyard, attached to the spinnaker pole, 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 accept this cradle.
