Raymarine ST60 wind make annoying buzzing

[poz.]

I have bought old sailboat with installed Raymarine ST60 wind. The ST60 has been working well but makes annoying buzzing. Is this something that is known issue for the ST60? What makes this buzzing and can this be fixed?

Thanks a lot for your advices, and regards

The wind pointer on the dial is driven by a coil, which does buzz a little. It's normal. If it gets very loud, it's probably not in the best condition anymore (like all moving things, it has a limited lifespan).

Mine buzzes a little too, but works fine. I only hear it on very quiet night passages.

Same here - although mine is (I believe) an ST50

My ST60 wind buzzes a bit and the Stowe Dataline before the ST60 also buzzed.

Mine (st60) does too, most noticeable at night.

I wondered which instrument it was.

Ditto! Maybe I'll disconnect it - if I'm on deck then the real world gives me far more meaningful information than an instrument.
