Description
The Raymarine Z195 Rotavecta is a masthead wind sensor for sailors replacing a damaged or aging wind-speed and wind-angle unit. It is not a display or complete wind instrument package. The sensor sits at the top of the mast and sends apparent wind information to a compatible Raymarine instrument, making it useful when the existing display and wiring are still serviceable.
The Z195 uses an analog Rotavecta frequency-pulse signal rather than a direct NMEA 2000 connection. It connects to Raymarine i40 Wind, i50 Wind, or ITC-5 modules, which handle the excitation and signal conversion. The included pivot mount and structural extension arm simplify masthead fitting, while IPX6 and IPX7 sealing suits exposed weather. Check the existing Raymarine instrument path before ordering; this sensor cannot operate as a standalone wind display.
Key Features
- Apparent wind speed and angle sensing – Provides the core wind information needed by compatible Raymarine instruments.
- Analog Rotavecta frequency-pulse output – Matches the listed Raymarine connection method.
- Direct compatibility with i40 Wind, i50 Wind, and ITC-5 – Gives clear replacement paths within the specified Raymarine system.
- Masthead pivot mount with extension arm – Supports installation at the top of the mast.
- IPX6 and IPX7 weather sealing – Protects the sensor in exposed marine conditions.
Who Is This For?
This Raymarine masthead wind transducer suits sailing boats replacing a Z195 or compatible Rotavecta sensor. It is not ideal for a boat without an i40 Wind, i50 Wind, or ITC-5 connection path, because the sensor has no display, battery, or standalone NMEA 2000 interface.
Compatibility
Confirmed compatibility includes Raymarine i40 Wind, i50 Wind, and ITC-5 modules through the analog Rotavecta frequency-pulse connection. The supplied information does not identify direct compatibility with Garmin, B&G, Simrad, NMEA 2000, or NMEA 0183 systems. No named incompatible system was provided; confirm the existing Raymarine instrument and mast wiring before installation.

Warranty & Support
Raymarine provides a 2-year standard warranty. The supplied specifications do not state warranty exclusions or service procedures.
The Z195 is the right purchase when the rest of the Raymarine wind system is still in place and only the masthead sensor has failed. Its trade-off is limited compatibility: the analog output must feed an i40 Wind, i50 Wind, or ITC-5 module. Choose it as a direct Raymarine replacement, not as a universal wind sensor for a new NMEA 2000 installation.
