That can make winter storage, trailering, and rigging work much easier on the mast wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatibility covers the GND 10 Black Box Bridge and the gWind Race Transducer, gWind Transducer, and gWind Wireless Transducer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates an accessible disconnect point at the mast base for gWind mast cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-resistant connection suited to the spray and washdown area around the mast step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField-installable format for installs where the mast cable is cut and terminated on the boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports routine mast pulling without repeatedly cutting and re-terminating the wind sensor wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks across common Garmin sailing wind setups that use gWind transducers and a GND 10 bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the join where you can reach it during mast work and where it is protected from standing water. Support the cable on both sides of the connector so the joint is not carrying the weight of the mast run, and leave slack for mast movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter re-connecting, check that the coupling is fully seated and keep the contact faces clean. A mast boot or cover over the area helps reduce UV and direct washdown exposure on deck-level installs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector set is for Garmin sailing wind sensor cabling. It is not the same part as the field-installable connectors used to build NMEA 2000 drop or backbone cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit is straightforward when your boat is already wired for the gWind mast cable connection. If your wind system uses a different transducer or cabling standard, use the matching connector family for that system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField-installable male connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField-installable female connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269040500917,"sku":"QBP998956","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298967_qbp998956.jpg?v=1771541565","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp998956","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
