Navico DST-810 Bronze Triducer Multisensor NMEA 2000 N2K - 6M Cable
Navico DST-810 Bronze Triducer Multisensor NMEA 2000 N2K - 6M Cable — Product description
Unlock Precision Boating with Advanced Multisensor Technology
Imagine gliding through choppy waters with pinpoint accurate speed data that adjusts for your boat's heel and trim, delivering smoother performance insights than ever before. The DST-810 multisensor transforms how you navigate, combining depth, speed-through-water, temperature, and attitude sensing into one robust bronze thru-hull unit. Perfect for competitive sailors chasing every knot or powerboaters fine-tuning fuel efficiency, this NMEA 2000-compatible sensor feeds reliable data directly to your network, empowering smarter decisions on the water.
What sets it apart? Its integrated Bluetooth connectivity pairs seamlessly with a dedicated app for effortless, on-the-water calibration—no laptop required. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to heel-compensated speed readings that reflect real-world conditions, helping you optimize sail trim or motor RPMs with confidence.
Standout Features That Drive Real Performance
- Ultra-Responsive 5 Hz Speed Output: Updates five times per second for silky-smooth speed data, letting you react faster to wind shifts or current changes without lag.
- Built-In Attitude Sensor: Captures heel and trim angles with ±1° accuracy post-calibration, ideal for racing yachts where even a degree matters.
- Shallow-Water Depth Prowess: 235 kHz frequency excels in as little as 0.5 meters, keeping you safe in skinny waters or during high-speed runs.
- All Data, One Hole: Depth, corrected speed, attitude, and precise water temp from a single installation—streamline your setup and reduce wiring hassles.
- Self-Contained Smarts: Stores all your custom calibrations onboard, so settings persist across displays or even if you swap electronics.
Effortless Calibration: The Game-Changer for Accuracy
Traditional speed sensors demand complex PC setups and dry-docking for tweaks. Not here. Connect via Bluetooth to the intuitive CAST app on your phone or tablet, enter manual speed data across 10 ranges and multiple heel angles, and watch as it computes heel-compensated outputs. This wireless wizardry ensures your log matches GPS ground speed perfectly, even as your boat heels over in a tack.
For power vessels, calibrate at cruise speeds to dial in props and hull cleanliness effects. Sailors love logging polars adjusted for trim, turning raw data into winning strategies. It's calibration made simple, consistent, and independent of your chartplotter or MFD.

Seamless Installation for Lasting Reliability
Mount thru-hull in a forward-facing spot below the waterline, ensuring fairing aligns with hull deadrise for optimal beam spread. Fairings help in deeper-V hulls, minimizing air entrainment at speed. Power via your N2K backbone (9-16 VDC), and you're networked in minutes. Pro tip: Calibrate post-install in calm conditions for baseline accuracy, then refine underway. Its 3m pressure rating handles occasional groundings, built tough for marine abuse.
Ideal for Sailors, Racers, and Cruisers Alike
Racers leverage 5 Hz speed and heel data for polar optimization and layline precision. Anglers appreciate shallow-depth alerts and temp layers for lure selection. Cruisers gain peace of mind with consistent logs matching GPS, factoring in currents for ETA accuracy. Whether offshore or coastal, this multisensor elevates your boating IQ.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the DST-810's speed data more accurate than standard transducers?
The integrated attitude sensor measures heel and trim, allowing app-based calibration that compensates for boat lean across speeds and angles, delivering true speed-through-water unmatched by basic paddlewheels.
How does wireless calibration work with this multisensor?
Bluetooth Low Energy connects to the CAST app up to 30 feet away. Input GPS-verified speeds manually for up to 10 ranges and multiple heels; calibrations save internally for NMEA 2000 output.
Is the DST-810 suitable for shallow draft boats?
Yes, its 235 kHz depth sensor reads from 0.5 meters reliably, making it a top pick for trailerables, catamarans, or exploring shoals.
What hull materials work best with the bronze housing?
Bronze pairs perfectly with fiberglass and wood hulls up to 22° deadrise, resisting corrosion while transmitting clean acoustic signals.
Does it integrate with popular marine networks?
Fully NMEA 2000 compliant with a 6m cable and LEN of 3, it drops into existing backbones for Simrad, Lowrance, or B&G displays without fuss.
How accurate is the water temperature sensing?
±0.5°C precision across -10°C to 40°C range, providing reliable data for fishing patterns or engine cooling checks.
DST-810 Bronze Triducer Multisensor NMEA 2000 N2K - 6M Cable
The DST810 Smart Multisensor, together with Airmar's CAST™ App, is the convergence of advanced hull data, matched with a simple and reliable way to calibrate accurate speed via a wireless device. This changes how boaters receive and deliver information to get greater performance from their hull. It is a simple, consistent way to calibrate speed-through-water regardless of what display system is on board. The DST810 and Airmar CAST App deliver capabilities that until now, were only available through expensive PC-based software.
Besides water temperature, depth and newly upgraded 5 Hz (5X per second) speed-through-water output, the DST810 features an integrated attitude sensor for heel and trim data. This information, combined with Airmar’s powerful and simple CAST App, makes heel-compensated speed calibration across multiple heel angles and speed ranges both fast and intuitive and is independent of the onboard instruments.
All speed calibrations and NMEA configurations are stored in the DST810 sensor—not in the displays.
