2. High Enough to have a clear view of the sky to the horizon in all directions unblocked by
sails or boat structures – The WSO100 provides the best readings when wind through it is
unimpeded by sails or structures on the boat.

2.3 Mounting the WSO100

The Maretron WSO100 can be mounted on top of a 1" 14 threads per inch standard marine
pole mount (Section 2.3.1).

2.3.1 Mounting the WSO100 to a Standard Marine Pole Mount

Screw the included WSO100 mounting bracket to the standard marine pole mount. If you do
not have a DSM200 or other display unit capable of configuring installation offset in the
WSO100, ensure that the pole mount is oriented as follows. The pole mount base has three
small holes for mounting screws and one larger hole for the humidity sensor. Ensure that the
small (mounting screw) hole which is nearest the larger (humidity sensor) hole is oriented such
that it faces directly forward in the vessel. If you do have a DSM200 or other display unit
capable of configuring installation offset in the WSO100, you may mount the sensor in any
orientation and adjust for it by configuring the installation offset appropriately (please refer to
the display user's manual for details).
Route the NMEA 2000
base and connect it to the WSO100 unit (see Section 2.4 below). Finally, attach the WSO100
to the pole mount base using the included brass mounting screws and lock washers as shown
in Figure 1. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing methacrylate ester, such as
Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic enclosure.

cable through the standard marine pole mount and the pole mount
• When installing the WSO100 to a standard marine pole mount, be sure
to first screw the WSO100 mounting bracket to the pole mount. Then,
attach the WSO100 to the WSO100 mounting bracket with the three
screws which connect these two components. DO NOT first attach the
WSO100 mounting bracket to the WSO100 with the three screws and
then screw the entire assembly onto the pole mount. Doing this will
put excessive torque on the NMEA 2000 connector from the attached
cable and cause damage to the connector which is not covered under
the product warranty.
• Likewise, when uninstalling the WSO100 from a standard marine pole
mount, be sure to first remove the three screws attaching the
WSO100 to the WSO100 mounting bracket. DO NOT first unscrew the
entire assembly from the pole mount before removing the three
screws. Doing this will put excessive torque on the NMEA 2000
connector from the attached cable and cause damage to the
connector which is not covered under the product warranty.
