It must be the easiest windvane to install.
There is considerable flexibility in where you choose to install the brackets – unlike most other windvanes that require absolute precise positioning. The two brackets are holders for the shaft, which should be aligned vertically – not a gravity vertical, but ‘boat vertical’ – aligned to mast and keel.
There are only 4 or 6 transom bolts required, and most of the bracket castings have hinges to allow you to find the easiest and most natural position.
Use of strong backing plates and ensuring that your transom has no flex are important.
- Takes a day – but double that because it is a boat project!
- 2 or 3 transom flanges require 4 or 6 bolts
- Considerable flexibility in the location of the flanges
- Bracket struts can be cut down to the length you require
- Unit comes almost completely assembled
