Triton-2 Speed/Depth/Wind Pack, Wired
Triton-2 Speed/Depth/Wind Pack, Wired — Product description
Imagine slicing through choppy waters with confidence, every gust of wind and depth reading at your fingertips. The Triton-2 Speed/Depth/Wind Pack delivers that edge for sailors who demand precision without the clutter. This wired setup bundles everything you need to monitor speed through water, depth below the hull, and wind shifts in real-time, all on a vibrant 4.1-inch color display that's built tough for the marine environment.
What sets this pack apart is its seamless integration. The DST800 transducer drops in easily, capturing accurate speed and depth data even in tricky conditions like shallow bays or turbulent currents. Paired with the WS310 wired wind sensor—complete with a generous 20-meter cable—you get reliable apparent and true wind readings that help trim sails perfectly. And thanks to the included NMEA2000 starter kit, connecting to your existing chartplotter, autopilot, or other instruments is straightforward, creating a networked cockpit that's responsive and future-proof.
Standout Components and Their Power
- Triton-2 Display: Crisp TFT color screen with daylight readability, customizable pages for wind plots, speed logs, and depth alarms. Its compact size fits anywhere—from the companionway to the mast base—while packing pilot control and data hubs.
- DST800 Transducer: Airmar-engineered for through-hull mounting, it excels at fast updates (up to 25 Hz) for smoother logs during high-speed runs or precise depth for anchoring.
- WS310 Wind Sensor: Masthead-mounted with 316 stainless construction to shrug off salt spray. Delivers 0.1 knot resolution on wind speed and 1-degree accuracy on direction, wired for zero dropouts.
- NMEA2000 Starter Kit: Backbone, T-junctions, terminators, and power cable—everything to kick off your network without guesswork.
Real-World Sailing Advantages
For club racers chasing PHRF corrections or bluewater cruisers plotting long passages, this pack shines by cutting through data overload. Picture starting lines where wind shear readings let you gybe early, or night watches where depth contours warn of reefs ahead. It's not just instruments; it's situational awareness that boosts safety and performance.
Installation keeps it sailor-friendly: Drill once for the transducer, run the wind cable along the mast, drop the NMEA backbone, and power up. Calibration wizards on the Triton-2 guide you through speed logs and wind vane alignment, often in under an hour. IPX7 waterproofing means it handles spray, submersion, and UV without fading.
Expand later too—link to B&G sailing processors for laylines or connect Zeus charts for overlays. Sailors report fewer wiring headaches compared to wireless setups, especially in steel hulls or high-interference zones.
Tips for Peak Performance
- Mount the display at eye level for quick glances—steering while scanning shouldn't pull focus.
- Position the DST800 forward of the prop for clean flow, antifouling paint recommended for longevity.
- Route wind cable inside the mast to minimize chafe; secure with zip ties every meter.
- Set alarms for low depth or wind lulls to stay proactive on watch.
- Regularly check NMEA drop cables for corrosion—freshwater rinse after every outing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What boats is the Triton-2 Speed/Depth/Wind Pack best suited for?
This pack fits dinghies to 50-foot cruisers and racers. Ideal for keelboats over 25 feet where masthead wind data and NMEA networking add real value, but compact enough for smaller craft.
Is the wind sensor wireless or does it require a separate display?
It's fully wired with a 20m cable for reliable data transmission. The included Triton-2 display shows all wind, speed, and depth info—no extras needed.
How accurate is the DST800 transducer for speed and depth?
Expect ±0.1 knot speed accuracy and depth resolution to 0.1m, with a range up to 600 feet. It shines in speeds from 0.2 to 45 knots.
Can I integrate this with other B&G or Simrad gear?
Yes, the NMEA2000 backbone connects effortlessly to compatible B&G, Simrad, or Lowrance units like NAC autopilots or NSO evo3 plotters.
What's the power draw and does it need a dedicated battery?
Low draw at 3.5W average—runs fine off your 12V house bank. No separate battery required.
Does the pack include mounting hardware?
Mounting kits for display, transducer, and wind sensor are included. Mast bracket and thru-hull fittings ready to go.
How do I calibrate the wind sensor after installation?
Use the Triton-2 menu: Align offset with a known wind direction, then linearize speed response. Takes minutes with on-screen prompts.
With Triton² Speed/Depth/Wired Windproof Kit, you can sail more intelligently. Triton² is very suitable for cruisers and club racers, displaying required instrument data where needed, with Smart Triducer for speed and depth data and WS310 wired wind speed sensor for accurate wind speed data.
