Garmin gWind Wireless 2 Masthead Transducer delivers precise wind data to your Garmin display with a true wire-free mast installation. Designed to simplify sailing electronics, it eliminates running wires through masts up to 50 feet while delivering fast, reliable wind information to compatible Garmin gear.
Using ANT® wireless connection, the gWind Wireless 2 sends accurate wind signals directly to GNX™ Wind instruments or compatible Garmin GPSMAP® 8400/8600 series and GPSMAP 7400/7600 series chartplotters. Its advanced Nexus® twin-fin technology with a 3-bladed propeller provides more accurate wind speed readings and a more stable wind angle, especially in lighter winds.
Key benefits
- Wire-free mast installation, avoiding costly and time-consuming cabling through the mast (supports up to 50 ft).
- Direct ANT® wireless transmission to compatible Garmin displays for seamless data integration.
- Nexus® twin-fin design with a 3-bladed propeller for improved accuracy in wind speed and better wind-angle stability in light air.
- Can be used as a standalone wind system or expanded to a full network via NMEA 2000® for versatile sailing setups.
- Compatible with GNX Wind and Garmin GPSMAP® 8400/8600 and GPSMAP 7400/7600 series chartplotters for easy data access.
- Weatherproof performance (IPX6) and a rechargeable NiMH battery powered by a solar panel for reliable duty on the water.
