Veratron 3-3/8" (85MM) OceanLink® Apparent Wind Angle Gauge

The Veratron 3-3/8" (85MM) OceanLink® Apparent Wind Angle Gauge is a professional-grade marine navigation instrument designed for vessel operators, mariners, and offshore enthusiasts who demand accurate real-time wind data. This specialized gauge integrates seamlessly with NMEA 2000 digital networks found aboard modern boats, sailboats, and larger watercraft. Whether you're navigating open ocean, coastal waters, or planning extended maritime expeditions, this instrument provides critical apparent wind angle data that informs sail trim, course planning, and overall vessel performance optimization.

The OceanLink® platform receives and displays data from your vessel's NMEA 2000 data bus, translating complex wind dynamics into clear, magnified readings visible from the helm. The 85mm (3-3/8") display format provides optimal legibility in varied lighting conditions, while the apparent wind angle function specifically calculates wind direction relative to your vessel's heading—critical information for sailors optimizing aerodynamic efficiency and safety. Built to marine-grade standards, this gauge withstands salt spray, moisture, and the rigorous demands of open-water operation, making it an essential component in any comprehensive marine navigation suite.

This gauge is ideal for competitive sailors, cruising vessel operators, and maritime professionals who rely on real-time environmental data for route planning and performance analysis. Installation requires a functioning NMEA 2000 network backbone; compatibility extends across Veratron's OceanLink ecosystem, allowing data sharing with compass, depth, and wind speed instruments for comprehensive situational awareness. Weight approximately 1 pound, this compact instrument mounts directly to existing instrument panels without requiring extensive retrofit work on established marine electrical systems.
