Fixing the plug on a Raymarine wind transducer

[theglo]

My Raymarine wind transducer slowly started to not work, then would give erratic signals and then nothing at all. It tested almost correct, one of the voltages was a little off. I finally climbed up there and pulled it off and the oring had failed and the plug at the base of the wind arm is shot. I can remove all the pins from the female side so a new plug should do the job. I can only find these for sale in the Netherlands and they don’t ship to the US. I’m hoping someone may know a workaround? Anyone dealt with something similar?

Thanks!

I did and thought I uploaded it! Let’s see if it works this time. I also just found the widget that will ship to the US (to a friend who’s flying to see us in Antigua in 2 weeks). Hoping to know wind speed for the last 2000 miles of this trip.

Widget is from waveinn.com

Widget I ordered for $50
