Garmin gWind Wired Wind Transducer
The gWind transducer features twin-fin technology with 3-bladed propeller for more accurate TWS in lighter air while the twin-fin design gives a more stable TWA. The 3-bladed propeller, unlike a cups design, is always efficient. Combined with optic reading this transducer provides superior accuracy at low wind speeds and also provides for excellent linearity. The included GND 10 black box bridge enables the Nexus Network and compatible Garmin chartplotters to share critical NMEA 2000 data. The GND 10 enables Garmin chartplotter owners to use Nexus sail equipment and vice versa. In The Box gWind transducer, GND 10, NMEA 2000 drop cable (2 m), NMEA 2000 T-connector, Mast cable with female connector (25 m), Nexus network cable (5 m; straight connector), Nexus female field installable connector, Mast bracket, Mounting hardware, Documentation.

Garmin GNX Wireless Wind Pack
When you have a GNX Wind instrument combined with a gWind Wireless 2 transducer, you’ll know what’s going on with the wind. GNX Wind Instrument - GNX Wind gives you the wind data necessary to make confident decisions. Featuring a high-visibility, glass-bonded backlit monochrome LCD display with customisable backlight colours, GNX Wind interfaces through the NMEA 2000® network to show 2 data fields and a digital wind rose simultaneously to display true* and apparent wind data, steering guidance, boat speed and more. Low power consumption of 350 mW daylight (no backlight) and 400 mW night-time (mid-level backlight) is perfect for sailboats. Customisable user settings allow you to configure the screen layout to your preferred setting. Display configurations include more than 15 important marine parameters for wind, speed and navigation. It can even wirelessly connect to a quatix® 3 GPS marine smartwatch via ANT® technology to stream wind data directly to your wrist. gWind Wireless 2 Transducer - gWind Wireless 2 offers an easy-to-install solution that eliminates running wires through masts up to 15 m (50 ft.). Accurate wind signals are sent via an ANT connection directly to a GNX Wind instrument or to a compatible Garmin GPSMAP® chartplotter. The transducer features renowned Nexus® twin-fin technology with a 3-bladed propeller, providing accurate wind speed and stable wind angle in lighter wind conditions. Also available in a wide selection of Wind and Sail Packs (sold separately) that can be used as standalone wind systems or expanded to full network systems via NMEA 2000. * For true wind information, speed through the water and heading inputs are required. In The Box gWind™ Wireless 2 transducer, GNX™ Wind instrument and documentation.

GNX 20 Marine Instrument - The easy-to-read GNX 20 display with black digits on a white or colour background clearly shows water depth, boat speed through the water, water temperature and 50-plus marine and boat parameters through the NMEA 2000 network. Customisable user settings allow you to choose from 5 available display configurations for sailing boat or powerboat user profiles: single, dual and triple function plus gauge and graph mode to display wind, depth and speed data, or customise the pages to display the marine and boat data most important to you. Its glass-bonded display with anti-glare lens coating provides excellent daytime and night-time readability with high-contrast digits scalable up to 36 mm. Uses only 25 mA with 350 mW daytime usage requiring no backlight and just 400 mW with a mid-level backlight setting at night. GDT 43 and GST 43 Transducers with 43 mm Fittings - If you already have 43 mm fittings for your thru-hull transducers, there’s no need to drill new holes. The bundle includes 43 mm thru-hull transducers, which can retrofit boats with existing Nexus TH43 transducers. The GST 43 is a speed and temperature transducer and the GDT 43 is a depth transducer. Each transducer comes with an adapter that allows data to be shared over the NMEA 2000 network to a compatible Garmin chartplotter or instrument display. In The Box gWind Wireless 2 transducer, GNX Wind instrument, GNX 20 instrument, GND 10, GDT 43 with NMEA 2000 adapter, GST 43 with GST 10, NMEA 2000 T-connectors, terminators, power cable and drop cable (2 m) and documentation.
