Raymarine Wireless Wind Transmitter Product Description
Simple Masthead Installation Without the Hassle
Imagine upgrading your boat's wind sensing capabilities without dropping the mast or wrestling with lengthy cables. The Raymarine Wireless Wind Transmitter changes the game for sailors who value efficiency. Securing it requires just three screws directly onto your existing masthead plate, allowing installation while the mast stays upright. This approach saves hours of labor and eliminates the risk of damaging rigging during unstepping.
Positioned at the masthead for optimal airflow, it captures precise wind data high above deck clutter, delivering reliable readings even in choppy seas or during tacks and gybes. Boaters transitioning from older wired systems appreciate how this transmitter frees up space inside the mast and reduces points of failure from corrosion-prone wiring.
Seamless Wireless Data Transmission
Powered by Raymarine's proven Micronet wireless network, the transmitter beams wind speed and apparent wind angle data to compatible displays across your vessel. No more signal dropouts from mast rotations or cable wear—enjoy a clean, interference-free link that performs in rain, fog, or high winds.
This system shines in dynamic sailing environments. Regatta racers rely on its quick-response updates for tactical decisions, while cruisers benefit from consistent data for safe passage planning. The low-power design ensures long battery life, minimizing downtime during extended voyages.
Precision Measurements Tailored for Serious Sailors
Equipped with a responsive three-cup anemometer and a lightweight wind vane, this transmitter delivers wind speed accuracy within ±2% and direction within ±3 degrees under typical conditions. Its low-friction bearings keep the vane tracking true, even at low speeds below 1 knot—crucial for light-air maneuvering.
Optical sensing technology avoids brushes and contacts that degrade over time, ensuring years of dependable service. Sailors report noticeably smoother data curves compared to mechanical alternatives, aiding in polar plot analysis and autopilot integration for efficient upwind legs.
Effortless On-Water Calibration and Maintenance
Calibration happens right from your cockpit display—no tools or disassembly needed. Align the vane to true wind direction, input speed offsets via intuitive menus, and you're set. This user-centric design empowers skippers to fine-tune for specific boat heel angles or local sea states without specialist help.
Maintenance is straightforward: occasional fresh water rinses remove salt buildup, and UV-resistant materials withstand harsh marine exposure. Most users find it thrives with minimal intervention, outperforming wired units that demand periodic cable inspections.
Why Go Wireless? Real-World Advantages for Boaters
In an era of simplified yacht electronics, wireless wind sensing stands out for its scalability. Add displays fore, aft, or at the nav station without rewiring. It future-proofs your setup for multifunction displays and apps, supporting tactical apps for wind shifts and laylines.
- Cost Savings: Skip expensive mast work and cable runs.
- Flexibility: Easy removal for winter storage or haul-outs.
- Reliability: No chafing wires or water ingress failures.
- Integration: Pairs effortlessly with Raymarine autopilots and instruments for automated sail trim.
Veteran sailors upgrading from legacy systems rave about the liberation from mast-climbing chores, making this a smart choice for both weekend warriors and offshore adventurers.

Wireless Wind Transmitter
For the first time, you can have wind information without running cables down the mast. The Wind Transmitter measures Wind Speed and Direction and sends data to any Micronet display via a wireless link. It can be fitted (simple three-screw attachment) with the mast in place and makes un-stepping the mast easy too. Calibration for wind speed and direction is done at any display.
