Re: Monitor Wind Vane

I am the one who should apologize for confusing people.

Re: Monitor Wind Vane

Ryban

If you go ahead with this, suggest to contact Scanmar
Suzy Savage

she is very helpful, keeps records on sold units, if there was an upgrade etc.
Purchased mine as used in 2018, needed to order new tubes to fit my transom, always returned calls with instructions, was like I purchased a brand-new unit from them, exceptional tech support.

PS

will not hurt to call her if she has any useful information on this unit, since you have the serial number.

Re: Monitor Wind Vane

Hi there
I have included a number of photos to show condition of the unit.
Sheaves are all in good condition and no cracks
I wish to calm doubters that even though it is not new it is in excellent shape.
Hope this helps

It does look to be in good shape, and as I said before, for $200 you can get a rebuild kit and make it as good as new, as long as there is no damage and all the parts are there.

I am currently rebuilding mine.

Re: Monitor Wind Vane

I have one of these on my boat, absolutely love it. It steers the vessel better then me. I don’t know about this particular unit however I would definitely recommend a Monitor and their customer service is second to none
