Garmin gWind Wireless 2 Masthead Transducer - Wireless Wind Data for Garmin Marine Instruments

The Garmin gWind Wireless 2 Masthead Transducer offers a reliable and easy-to-install solution for measuring wind speed and direction on your boat. Designed to eliminate the need for complicated wiring through masts up to 50 feet, this transducer transmits accurate wind signals via an ANT(R) connection directly to compatible Garmin devices such as the GNX(TM) Wind instrument or Garmin GPSMAP(R) series chartplotters including 8400/8600 and 7400/7600 series. Its wireless design simplifies installation and reduces clutter, making it ideal for both new installations and upgrades.
The transducer features Nexus(R) twin-fin technology with a 3-bladed propeller, which ensures more precise wind speed measurements and stable wind angle readings, especially in lighter wind conditions. This advanced technology results in improved sailing performance and navigation accuracy. The device can be used as a standalone wind system or integrated into larger network systems via NMEA 2000(R), providing flexible options for boaters seeking comprehensive marine instrumentation.
Measuring just over 13 inches tall and 24 inches wide, the Garmin gWind Wireless 2 is built for durability and reliable performance in marine environments. Its compact size and wireless capabilities make it suitable for a variety of vessel types, from small sailboats to larger ships. The transducer comes with a warning for handling and disposal due to potential health risks, complying with Prop 65 standards, and is expected to be available until May 7, 2026. Whether you're upgrading your existing setup or installing a new wind measurement system, the Garmin gWind Wireless 2 offers a state-of-the-art solution for accurate wind data collection and navigation enhancement.
