Raymarine RSW Wired – Smart Performance Wind Transducer – Short Arm w/30M Cable

Description

The Raymarine RSW Wired Smart Performance Wind Transducer is a short-arm masthead sensor for sailors who want modern wind data on a Raymarine network. Its integrated AHRS helps provide a more informed wind-sensing platform than a basic vane alone, while the 300mm arm suits installations where a long masthead extension is unnecessary. This is a sensor-only product, not a display or complete wind system.

The RSW connects through NMEA 2000 via SeaTalkng and operates from 9-16V DC with a low 0.6W draw. IPX6 and IPX7 protection covers the exposed sensor, and the 30m cable gives useful reach for larger sailing boats. The short-arm design can help where masthead clearance is already good. A compatible Raymarine display, backbone, and mounting plan are still required before the wind data can be used.

Key Features

• Integrated AHRS – Adds attitude and heading reference information to the smart wind sensor platform.
• 300mm short arm – Fits masthead installations that do not need a longer extension.
• NMEA 2000 via SeaTalkng – Connects the sensor to compatible Raymarine instruments and MFDs.
• 0.6W power draw – Keeps the sensor’s electrical demand low.
• IPX6 and IPX7 protection – Suits exposed masthead marine conditions.

Who Is This For?

This smart wind transducer suits sailing boats upgrading to a Raymarine NMEA 2000 wind system with limited masthead clearance. It is not ideal as a standalone sensor, because it needs a compatible display, SeaTalkng backbone, cable, and mast mounting arrangement.

Compatibility

Confirmed compatibility includes NMEA 2000 via SeaTalkng, compatible Raymarine displays and instruments, and the supplied 30m cable specification. The supplied information does not identify direct Garmin, B&G, Simrad, NMEA 0183, radar, or autopilot compatibility. No named incompatible system was provided; verify the Raymarine network and mounting requirements before installation.

The RSW short-arm sensor is the right choice when a modern Raymarine wind sensor is needed but masthead clearance does not justify a long arm. Its trade-off is the need for a complete networked installation and compatible display. Choose it for a planned SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 wind upgrade, not as a direct universal replacement for every older analogue sensor.
