Description
Airmar DST810 Smart Multisensor Bronze NMEA 2000 Transducer | Boat Supply Store
For sailors and powerboat owners demanding precise real-time vessel data, this 23kHz bronze multisensor integrates depth, speed-through-water, water temperature, and boat attitude (heel and trim) into a single NMEA 2000® unit. Its Gen2 paddlewheel delivers exceptional accuracy from 0.3 knots up to 45 knots, reporting at a responsive 5.7 Hz. Advanced, wireless calibration, including heel-compensated speed adjustments, is now accessible via the free Airmar CAST app, eliminating the need for complex PC software and streamlining data acquisition for operations offshore or on Lake Conroe.
