We have a B&G H1000 system on our Bavaria 320 and the masthead cups rotate intermittently. The cups will rotate for a period and then just stop even though still plenty of wind. I've been up there and gave them a 'flick' which gets them moving for while, but then they just stop again :(

Is this a known or common fault? Am I right in suspecting that the cups and/or bearings need replacing?

And how do I get the sensor unit off? It wasn't obvious to me while up there, I removed the mounting screws but then the cable was still attached, so that was wrong. :confused: Someone suggested the sensor needs twisting by 90 or 180 to remove only that part from the entire arm, is that right?
