Garmin Wind Vane f/GWS™ 10

Enhance the precision of your marine wind readings with the dedicated wind vane designed exclusively for the Garmin GWS 10 wind sensor. Sailors and boaters rely on accurate wind direction data to make smarter decisions on the water, whether trimming sails for optimal speed or navigating challenging conditions. This robust accessory ensures your setup delivers reliable performance, helping you stay ahead of the breeze without interruptions.

Crafted from durable materials built to withstand harsh marine environments, this wind vane slots seamlessly into your existing GWS 10 system. Its sleek black finish blends effortlessly with your deck hardware, maintaining a clean, professional look on any vessel. Forget guesswork—pair it with the GWS 10's anemometer cups for complete wind speed and direction insights displayed right on your Garmin chartplotter or instrument.

Why Accurate Wind Direction Matters on the Water

In sailing or powerboating, knowing the exact wind angle can mean the difference between a smooth cruise and costly mistakes. This wind vane captures subtle shifts in wind flow, feeding real-time data to your Garmin ecosystem. It's especially valuable during races, where milliseconds count, or in coastal cruising when plotting safe courses around headwinds.

Engineered for minimal interference, it maintains the GWS 10's compact profile while supporting high-capacity operations. No bulky additions or performance drags—just pure, responsive wind tracking that integrates flawlessly with NMEA 2000 networks for sharing data across your onboard electronics.

Key Advantages for Serious Boaters

• Precision Tracking: Captures wind direction with the sensitivity needed for tactical sailing maneuvers or efficient motoring.
• Marine-Tough Build: Resists corrosion, UV exposure, and saltwater spray for seasons of dependable use.
• Effortless Compatibility: A direct fit for the GWS 10, restoring full functionality if your original vane wears out from constant exposure.
• Streamlined Design: Keeps your mast or pole setup aerodynamic, avoiding drag that could slow you down.
• Backed Reliability: Matches Garmin's commitment to quality, with engineering that prioritizes longevity in demanding conditions.

Simple Integration into Your Garmin Setup

Swapping in this wind vane is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic marine electronics. Position it atop the GWS 10 sensor pole, secure it firmly, and calibrate via your Garmin display. Within minutes, you'll have wind data flowing again, overlaid on charts, radar, or autopilot screens. It's a quick fix that keeps you focused on the horizon rather than troubleshooting.

Pro tip: Regularly inspect the vane during routine maintenance to catch any debris buildup from seabirds or pollen, ensuring peak accuracy year-round. This small step maximizes the value of your investment in Garmin's marine tech.

Perfect for Every Type of Vessel

From sleek racing yachts to rugged fishing boats, this wind vane elevates wind awareness for all. Racers appreciate its responsiveness during tacks and gybes; cruisers value the safety of knowing wind shifts before they hit. Even if you're new to wind sensors, the GWS 10 combo simplifies data interpretation, turning raw numbers into actionable insights.
