It measures apparent wind speed and direction from the masthead, giving the instrument system the wind data sailors use for trim, course decisions, and true wind calculations when paired with the right boat speed and heading inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the short arm version, with the 300 mm format used on cruising sailboats and powerboats where a compact masthead sensor is preferred. It is made for Raymarine wind instrument systems such as i60 Wind, iTC-5, ST60+ and ST60 series installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis masthead-only assembly is not supplied with a wind transducer cable. It suits replacement work where the existing cable is still serviceable and has enough slack for the connector to be removed and refitted at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement short arm wind vane assembly for Raymarine wired masthead wind transducer systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 mm short arm format for masthead wind sensing on cruising sailboats and powerboats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures apparent wind speed and direction for use by compatible Raymarine instrument displays and interfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with Raymarine i60 Wind, iTC-5, ST60+ and ST60 series instrument installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied without the masthead cable, making it suited to service jobs where the existing installed cable is being reused.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the base, protective cap, retaining clip, cable washer, cable nut, and cable nut spanner needed for the replacement assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is at the masthead, so the condition of the existing cable and base matters before the job begins. When reusing the installed cable, there must be enough slack to remove and refit the connector to the base without straining the cable or leaving the connection exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe protective cap should be fitted whenever the vane arm is removed for service or replacement. It helps protect the cable connector area from water and dust while the arm is off the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and system use\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis assembly is for Raymarine wired wind systems, not a stand-alone wireless sensor. It is a good match for owners refreshing an existing Raymarine masthead wind setup where the cable run up the mast is still in good condition and the goal is to restore wind speed and direction readings without replacing the full cable assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor boats that need a new cable as part of the repair, the complete short arm or long arm wind transducer assembly is usually the better route because the replacement wind vane assembly itself does not include the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase and protective cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 10 x 3\/4 in pan head pozi screws for base mounting, quantity 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort arm wind vane assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArm retaining clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable nut spanner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023839752373,"sku":"QBP680657","price":429.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1331125_qbp680657.webp?v=1780192035","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp680657","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
