Davis Universal Masthead Mount f/WindTrak 10.Sport & WindTrak 15

The Davis Universal Masthead Mount for WindTrak 10.Sport and WindTrak 15 is a 13-inch extended-arm mounting solution designed to position anemometers and wind-sensing equipment away from masthead obstructions and turbulence. This accessory enables cleaner wind readings by repositioning instruments to clearer air, a critical consideration for anyone relying on accurate environmental data in marine, meteorological, or field operations where wind patterns drive decision-making.

The mount ships with hardware supporting side or top attachment and allows offset angles up to ±20 degrees, providing flexibility for non-standard mounting geometry. The aluminum arm can be secured to flat, curved, vertical, horizontal, or inclined surfaces—essential for deployment on vessel masts, pole structures, or field installations where surface orientation varies. At 0.3 lbs with compact dimensions (3 x 1 x 13 inches), the mount adds minimal weight aloft while maintaining structural rigidity required for sensor stability during environmental exposure.

This accessory serves marine operators, atmospheric data collectors, and field professionals who depend on unobstructed wind measurement. Mounting instruments on the back of a mast improves cockpit visibility and reduces cable runs along primary structural members. The adjustable angle capability addresses site-specific installation challenges where direct overhead mounting proves impractical or where instrument isolation from structural turbulence demands offset positioning.

Davis Instruments' approach to sensor mounting emphasizes system accuracy over mounting convenience—the extended arm design acknowledges that instrument location directly affects data quality. Users integrating this mount with WindTrak equipment should verify mast or mounting surface load limits, particularly in high-wind environments where lateral force on the 13-inch arm transfers to the attachment point.
