Chip & Debbie Willis on s\v Elegant'sea: Garmin wind vane GWS™ 10 - Wind Vane GONE AGAIN- Looking at the WS0 100 2018

As we have posted our Garmin GWS 10 is not working - vane will no longer stay on. Looking into the WS 100 Ultrasonic Wind \ Weather Station. By Maretron.

We have messaged on Sailnet about this WS) 100 Ultrasonic Wind \ Weather Station. By Maretron, hooking up to the Garmin NEMA 2000 network. There is a male NEMA 2000 network connection coming out of the top of the mast. The WSO 100 has a Male connection to hook to. So it was recommended we use a gender changer and one that has a terminal in it. We do believe we have a female connector on the end of the cable coming out of the mast. We will be going (Debbie) up the mast soon to cover the NEMA female end and to check for where and how we want to place our WSO 100 when we purchase it.

Here are some of the Sailnet responses: "Yes, we have one. It is a standard N2K instrument and connection. Since it will be at one end of your backbone, you will need a terminator for it. Maretron conveniently makes an in-line terminator that also switches the gender for you - voila!"

"A second yes, and for all the same reasons..."
