Investigate the Garmin Gwind transducer and Gnd 10 black box bridge. At $600 it will provide NMEA 2000 wind data for you. It's a descendant of the Nexus instruments. My 22 year old Nexus instruments still work well for me. I use a Noland NMEA 0183 multiplexer to interface my Nexus instruments

Does anyone have experience with the Airmar WS-150WX? This is an ultra-sonic transducer that seems to measure just about everything: true/apparent wind, pressure, temp, gps, compas, pitch & roll, NMEA 0183/2000. I currently have a regular cable-run Raymarine wind system. It always works.
