ST60 wind speed and direction sensor

[yelbis]

I require a new mast mounted wind direction and wind speed sensor for raymarine st60 series. Can anyone give some advice where to source. Thanks.

have you tried ebay?

Raymarine service agent?

Tried ebay and raymarine. the cups have fallen off and they do not supply these any longer, they will sell me a new set at £230? Only want the cups, even from an old unit or an upgrade!

I repeat, try a service agent or two. They usually have odds and ends lying around in their workshop, friend of mine got exactly what you want, for a few quid, from one of these agents.

Sorry, bit slow today. Thanks for the advice

Hope you get lucky.

I have the same problem with missing cups. I haven't retrieved the unit from the masthead yet but I did check for the availability of spares. Raymarine list a service kit on their website. Is this no longer available?

 

[yelbis]

That looks just the job. i have been informed that these units suffer from seizing, therefore the shaft stops but the wind still tries to rotate the cups and eventually they come loose and fall off. Is it possible to replace the bearing or lubricate it?
