Use fasteners that suit your mast material, seal any new holes appropriately, and isolate dissimilar metals if you are fastening to an aluminum mast to reduce corrosion over time. After stepping the mast, confirm the sensor sits square and has clearance from lights, antennas, and rigging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bracket is intended for the gWind family wind transducers and is commonly paired with GNX Wireless wind instrument packs that use those sensors. It is not a universal bracket for other wind sensors, so match it to the gWind, gWind Wireless, or gWind Wireless 2 transducer you are installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe masthead is a tough environment with constant UV, spray, and vibration. Rinse with fresh water when practical, and check the mount and fasteners during routine rig inspections. This is a good match for sailors replacing a damaged masthead mount or cleaning up an installation while servicing the wind sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269046366389,"sku":"QBP173378","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299217_qbp173378.jpg?v=1771541605","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp173378","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
