Overview

The B&G 000-15974-001 is a complete NMEA 2000 sensor and backbone pack that adds core sailing data to your network in one go: wind, GPS position, heading, depth, speed through water, and water temperature.

It bundles a WS320 wireless wind sensor pack, a DST810 MultiSensor, and a ZG100 GPS module, along with a Micro-C backbone starter kit plus extra N2K cables. The ZG100 updates position at 10 Hz and also supplies heading, heel, and trim data for compatible displays. The WS320 link avoids running a wind cable through the mast and uses Bluetooth 4.0 communication that is suitable for mast heights up to 25 m (80 ft).

Key features

• Brings wind, GPS position, heading, depth, speed through water, and water temperature onto a NMEA 2000 Micro-C network
• WS320 wireless wind sensor pack reduces mast wiring by using a Bluetooth 4.0 link; suitable for mast heights up to 25 m (80 ft)
• ZG100 GPS module with 10 Hz position updates plus heading, heel, and trim data for sailing displays
• DST810 MultiSensor combines depth, speed, and water temperature in one through-hull unit
• Micro-C backbone starter kit hardware included: network power cable, 4.5 m (15 ft) N2K cable, 3 T-connectors, and 2 network terminators
• Extra N2K drop cables included (2 m and 5 m) to help route connections from backbone to devices

What’s included

• WS320 wireless wind sensor pack (wind sensor and wireless interface)
• DST810 MultiSensor (depth, speed, temperature)
• ZG100 GPS module
• Micro-C backbone starter kit (network power cable, 4.5 m N2K cable, 3 T-connectors, 2 terminators)
• N2K cables: 2 m and 5 m

Installation and setup

Plan the NMEA 2000 backbone first so the wind interface, GPS module, and DST810 can all land on nearby T-connectors with sensible drop runs. The included terminators belong at the two ends of the backbone, and the network power cable should be installed as the network’s power feed with appropriate protection per your boat’s electrical practice.

The WS320 masthead unit mounts where a wind sensor normally lives, while its interface mounts below and ties into the Micro-C backbone. The ZG100 should be placed where it has a clear view of the sky and is spaced away from strong magnetic sources. The DST810 is a through-hull install, so confirm access to the inside of the hull and allow for proper sealing and alignment during installation.

Compatibility and fit

This pack is intended for boats running a NMEA 2000 (Micro-C) network and a display system that can show wind, depth, speed, and GPS data. Before ordering, verify you have room for the backbone components and that your intended mounting locations make sense for cable routing and service access.

For the DST810, confirm the through-hull location on your boat and any existing cutout or replacement plans before committing. For the WS320, keep in mind the wireless link specification is tied to mast height and the practical realities of installation on your boat.

Use cases on board

This pack fits well for a refit where you want to add the core sensor set to a NMEA 2000 network without piecing together cables and backbone parts. It also suits sailboats that want faster GPS updates and clean wind data while keeping mast wiring to a minimum.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt buildup where practical and inspect the masthead wind sensor and its mounting hardware during regular rig checks. Keep the through-hull sensor area clean to maintain consistent depth and speed readings, and confirm cable connections stay dry, supported, and strain-relieved in high-vibration areas.
