[CA] [CA11] Wind sensor mounting

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Dave,

While the i70S/i70 will support +/-179 degrees of wind angle adjustment, Raymarine's wind vanes designed and tested to be installed such that they point forward in line with or parallel to the vessel's center line. This is to ensure that the wind transducer will be positioned within the cleanest air. When mounted backwards as you have suggested, the wind vane may experience turbulence associated with air flow over the structures / objects located forward of the wind vane. Such turbulence would impair the performance of the wind instrument. Accordingly, your suggested installation of the wind vane would neither be recommended, nor supported.
