Garmin Field-Installable Mast Connectors, Male/Female, Water Resistant, For gWind Transducers

Overview

The Garmin 010-12117-01 is a field-installable male/female connector set with a water-resistant seal, used at the foot of the mast to disconnect gWind wind transducer cabling when stepping or unstepping the mast.

It gives you a clean break in the mast run so the spar can come down without pulling the full cable through deck hardware or leaving loose wires exposed. That can make winter storage, trailering, and rigging work much easier on the mast wiring.

Compatibility covers the GND 10 Black Box Bridge and the gWind Race Transducer, gWind Transducer, and gWind Wireless Transducer.

Key features

• Creates an accessible disconnect point at the mast base for gWind mast cabling
• Water-resistant connection suited to the spray and washdown area around the mast step
• Field-installable format for installs where the mast cable is cut and terminated on the boat
• Supports routine mast pulling without repeatedly cutting and re-terminating the wind sensor wiring
• Works across common Garmin sailing wind setups that use gWind transducers and a GND 10 bridge

Installation and setup

Mount the join where you can reach it during mast work and where it is protected from standing water. Support the cable on both sides of the connector so the joint is not carrying the weight of the mast run, and leave slack for mast movement.

After re-connecting, check that the coupling is fully seated and keep the contact faces clean. A mast boot or cover over the area helps reduce UV and direct washdown exposure on deck-level installs.

Compatibility and fit

This connector set is for Garmin sailing wind sensor cabling. It is not the same part as the field-installable connectors used to build NMEA 2000 drop or backbone cables.

Fit is straightforward when your boat is already wired for the gWind mast cable connection. If your wind system uses a different transducer or cabling standard, use the matching connector family for that system.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
