I am also very interested in the diagrams, especially the wiring between the instrument and the sensor.

Adjo,

I believe I do..I will check this weekend. I am missing 1 x bezel cover...so if you could use the instrument without the bezel..that is use an old one?...then I will part with it. If not I will supply with clear bezel. PM me with your expectation for price...I am not out to gouge or rip any one off at all just need to establish fair price.

I had one which worked fine--it was fitted in the nineties--but a lightning discharge on a nearby vessel fried the masthead unit with induced current. To replace the masthead unit was more expensive than an entire new system with gauges and a new depth sounder--not VDO but a quality make.

VDO have spares--but they are very expensive (and still unscreened)

Avaiable:
VDO Logic Wind 01 330 301 master (working+books)
VDO Logic Wind 01 330 401 repeater (working but digital display is faded)
VDO Logic Compass 01 510 401 (working+book)
VDO Logic Log 01 110 501 (working+Book)
The system was replaced by Craige Miller on boat TOCARDO II and is located in Bowen N Qld. No masthead unit.

Hi,
for the moment I've only been able to find some installation instructions...no luck with a replacement unit or schematics...
If you find something - share it

My mast was recently taken off and the guys in the yard did not make a note of the wiring for the wind unit. Does anyone have a note of how the wiring should be? I have 9 wires on the mast and 8 in use on the cable going to the display. Spent two days trying to get it sorted out and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in a manual for these 1980's units or your own notes.
Please PM me with anything of use.

Thanks
Ewen
