2023年5月17日 · You will also need to mount some sort of base for the anemometer (you can see it in my photo). That may require drilling and tapping the bolt holes… If you can unstep the mast, that may be easier than trying to do these tasks suspended 37’ in the air, where you will have a hard time getting above the mast (unless the “lift” you are ...

2000年1月27日 · I broke the impeller on my mast head anemometer this past fall when my boat yard unstepped the mast for some repairs. This is the original "yard bird" on my '83 Cat 36. I need a new impeller, not the whole anemometer. There is no manufacturer or nameplate data on the device to inquire about...

2014年6月5日 · Assuming an anemometer interconnected with knot meter, it compensates for speed and direction to give real data useful in making course management decisions useful in both racing and cruising. Having cruised the same areas you mentioned, my recollection is that most boats had one; some two.

2017年5月5日 · The problem with the inexpensive (ebay, amazon) anemometers (measures air speed) is that they don't do really well at low air speeds.

2019年7月9日 · The yellow wire is 5volt pulses generated by the anemometer. Now, the MHU is fed 8vdc on the red & shield. There is a down-converter up in the MHU which converts 8v to 5v, and then uses that for the Hall Effect sensor on the vane. At the base of the mast with the wind blowing, you should see 0-5 volt pulses between yellow & shield.

2003年9月4日 · I just rebuilt the Datamarine LX360Q wind direction/speed masthead unit with the rebuild kit from DMI Marine. There have been no problems with the direction indicator, but the speed I believe is not correct. It appears to me that the cups on the masthead unit are spinning much slower than they...

2016年10月26日 · I just finished running new wires, halyards etc in my mast as was thinking since it's down, to maybe install a masthead transducer. The Clipper Wind looks interesting.....and cheap. I already bought an antenna mounted Windex but since the Clipper seems to be affordable I may go that route. They...

2023年7月13日 · I like having wind instruments on my boat, but I usually sail in the early spring without them until I hike up the mast to install the anemometer. I do have mine set up to provide both True and Apparent wind, which is also helpful. You could try a wireless system (Garmin wireless wind or Raymarine).

2025年1月8日 · Not a question. Just had to say I scored an item I have wanted for a while! I bought a slightly used ATN Topclimber Mast Climbing system for $150 on FB Marketplace. I've wanted my own since a slip neighbor used his on my mast to replace my anemometer vane. I'm approaching 70 years old but I stay fit and I'm confident I can do this.

2020年9月29日 · I have two gauges by Kenyon Marine on my boat: apparent wind indicator AW-300 and anemometer WS-300, most probably dating from the Seventies. These two instruments are currently not working, since the two analog meters are not connected to any wind station at the masthead. I am now considering...
