12. Use the retaining clip to secure the arm of the wind vane. 13. Route the cable back to the display, using the junction box if required. 14. If you had to remove the spade terminals then new spade terminals (not supplied) must be fitted to each wire.
3.4 Replacing an existing wind vane When replacing an existing wind vane it is important that the latest hardware design is utilized. When considering what needs replacing there are 3 options. • Option 1 — Replacing wind vane and base. If the wind vane cable is in good condition but your base is an older design then you can replace the wind vane and base using the existing cable.
Improved base and protective cap design The replacement wind vane components utilize an improved design to aid protection against water ingress and prolong the life of your wind vane. New design — The new design has an arm alignment recess instead of a slit through the thread and the new protective cap design includes a tapered collar.
5. Unscrew the cable retention nut and remove from the base. 6. Unscrew the base fixing screws. 7. Remove the base leaving the cable in place. 8. Remove the cable washer from the end of the cable connector. 9. Replace the cable washer with the new one supplied. 10.

Note: The tapered collar on the protective cap provides a seal to protect the wind vane cable connector against water ingress and must be used in all installations.
• Unless otherwise stated only use cables supplied by Raymarine. • Where it is necessary to use non-Raymarine cables, ensure that they are of correct quality and gauge for their intended purpose. (e.g.: longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run).
4.2 Cable routing Routing the cable through the deck mast Follow the steps below to route cable through a deck mast. Wind vane transducer Mast Compatible instrument display Deck Junction box Bulkhead 1. Feed the cable down the mast and out through a suitable below-decks aperture. 2.
Replacing spade terminals Although the transducer cable is fitted with spade terminals for direct connection to a compatible display or converter, it may be necessary to remove these to allow the cable to be routed through bulkheads or masts etc. 5 x 1/8th spade terminals will be required (not supplied), to replace those removed.
