Raymarine ST60 Wind Vane Transducer w/30M Cable

Description

The Raymarine ST60 wind vane transducer is a replacement masthead sensor for older Raymarine sailing instrument systems. It measures wind direction and speed and sends the signal through a five-pin analogue connection to a compatible display or interface. This is a sensor-only product, so it does not include an i60 display, chartplotter, cable, or standalone wind-processing unit.

The 381mm arm gives the vane room to sit clear of some masthead turbulence, while the IPX6 housing is built for exposed marine service. Its analogue output connects directly to compatible i60 or ST60+ equipment, with NMEA 2000 operation available through an ITC-5 interface. Before ordering, check the existing instrument and cable arrangement; this is not a direct universal NMEA 2000 wind sensor.

Key Features

• Analogue wind vane sensor – Provides wind speed and direction data for compatible Raymarine instruments.
• 381mm arm – Places the vane away from some masthead interference.
• Five-pin analogue connection – Matches the specified Raymarine sensor wiring.
• 30m cable specification – Provides useful reach for taller mast installations.
• IPX6 protection – Suits exposed masthead use.

Who Is This For?

This Raymarine masthead wind sensor suits boats replacing a compatible ST60 wind vane or rebuilding an existing analogue system. It is not ideal for a new installation without a suitable display or ITC-5 interface, because it has no screen and no direct NMEA 2000 connection.

Compatibility

Confirmed compatibility includes direct analogue connection to compatible Raymarine ST60/i60 wind equipment and NMEA 2000 through an ITC-5 interface. The supplied information does not identify direct Garmin, B&G, Simrad, NMEA 0183, radar, or autopilot compatibility. No named incompatible system was provided.

Warranty & Support

Raymarine provides a 2-year manufacturer warranty. The supplied specifications do not state warranty exclusions or service procedures.

This ST60 wind vane is the practical replacement when the existing Raymarine display and analogue wiring are still serviceable. Its trade-off is the older connection method, which is not a direct NMEA 2000 installation. Choose it for a compatible ST60/i60 system, and confirm the display, cable run, and ITC-5 requirement before going aloft.
