Raymarine Masthead Cable & Base

Upgrade your sailing setup with the reliable Raymarine Masthead Cable and Base, designed specifically for seamless integration with wind transducers. This 30-meter cable delivers precise signal transmission from your masthead unit to cockpit displays, ensuring you stay informed on wind speed and direction even in demanding offshore conditions. Boaters trust this accessory for its straightforward connectivity and robust construction that withstands saltwater exposure, UV rays, and constant vibration.

Key Advantages for Serious Sailors

• Extended Reach: At 98 feet, it provides ample length for tall masts or complex routing paths without signal loss.
• Secure 5-Pin Connection: Matches perfectly with Raymarine wind instruments, minimizing interference and maximizing data accuracy.
• Durable Black Sheathing: Resists abrasion and weathering, maintaining flexibility in cold weather and integrity over years of use.
• Plug-and-Play Base: Simplifies mounting and replacement, getting you back on the water faster.

Perfect Compatibility with Popular Raymarine Systems

This cable pairs effortlessly with ST60-series and i70 multifunction displays, supporting close-hauled wind vanes, analog transducers, and digital models. Whether you're racing competitively or cruising long distances, it ensures your wind data feeds reliably into your network. It's a direct fit for common setups on yachts, catamarans, and monohulls, avoiding the hassle of custom wiring.

Installation Tips for Optimal Performance

Route the cable along existing mast conduits to protect it from chafe—use zip ties sparingly to allow for minor movement. At the base, align the pins carefully before securing the connector; a light lubricant on seals prevents corrosion. Test continuity with a multimeter post-install to confirm flawless operation. Many owners report completing the swap in under an hour, restoring full wind functionality without downtime.

Long-Term Reliability in Harsh Marine Conditions

Engineered with marine-grade materials, this cable outlasts generic alternatives by resisting electrolysis and mechanical stress. Pair it with routine mast inspections to spot wear early. Sailors in regattas or bluewater passages praise its low failure rate, contributing to safer, more confident navigation when gusts pick up unexpectedly.

Why This Cable Elevates Your Boating Experience

Beyond basic connectivity, it enhances tactical decisions during maneuvers—real-time wind shifts displayed crisply at the helm mean quicker tacks and fewer mistakes. It's not just a replacement part; it's an investment in precision that complements Raymarine's ecosystem of radars, autopilots, and plotters for a unified onboard command center.
