I've a V-Tronix Hawk antenna with wind indicator - sadly now the front half of the indicator has broken off. Does anyone know where I can just get a replacement indicator?

Type v-tronix spares into google and pick where you want to buy your replacement from. Considering the effort required to get to the top of your mast to replace the indicator, I would highly reccomend replacing the whole antenna and associated wiring.

Just replaced the arrows on mine for about £29. A whole aerial costs £70 ish and there was nothing wrong with the bracket fitting or vhf s/s whip.

I believe you can get parts direct from Hawk Marine Products . Try contacting them. Phone number on the website Hawk Marine Products, Wind Indicators

Vic,
Many thanks for that link - I've been in contact and getting a replacement for £23. It seems that there is more than one "Hawk V-Tronix"! One by Hawk Marine Products and the other by Shakespeare (which I have). It's alleged that the Shakespeare model now uses an indicator sourced from China that isn't as UV resistant as the original. Hence the reason I'm on the third replacement in as many years.
