My SF Voyager MHU aneometer bearings have just failed after 35 years!Well .... I have a seafarer voyager wind instrument.. bought it new back in 1990. Its been spinning non stop since that date other than when i took it off one boat and fitted it to a new one.
Never had to replace any of the masthead parts , until maybe now..
I get wind speed but no direction, and a week later the display decided to not turn on some times..
Ive taken the masthead unit down and pleasantly surprised to see the 30 yr old cups are showing no sign of brittleness and the bearings still seem good !
the display and head unit are now with tinley electronics to test/repair? . It could be the mast cabling thats had it?
I did jokingly say to tinley "bet youve not seen an original mastehead unit that old?" to which they replied " we have many much older"
Maybe i should have asked what brands that are still made they have as modern ones just dont seem to last like older ones do ?
Another item that constantly spins yet can easily do 25 yrs are aerogens ! and sadly another defunct product.

Put there by the mods as a mark of respect Graham ?
Coud be - well done if that is the case.
