Wind Vane

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum bbistis,

The reported issue may be indicative of a cable failure or a failure with of the wind transducer. The cable may be tested by disconnecting the masthead and then performing a continuity test to check for both continuity and to ensure that no shorts (continuity sensed on more than one pin of the masthead mount) are detected. Should the cable test not identify any faults, then Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to test the masthead. Should the masthead testing not indicate a fault with the masthead, then the wind instrument would be determined to have failed. Should the cable have failed, then it should be replaced. Should the masthead have failed and it has been purchased within the last 30 days, then it should be returned to the dealer or sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench checked / serviced.
