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. The
parts required for this type of replacement are:
– Replacement wind vane short arm assembly — R28170
– Replacement wind vane long arm assembly — R28171
Note: Before deciding to keep the existing cable you must ensure that sufficient slack exists in
the cable to allow for the connector to be removed and refitted to the base.
• Option 2 — Replacing wind vane only. If the wind vane cable is in good condition and the base
is the new design then you can replace just the wind vane. The parts required for this type
of replacement are:
– Replacement wind vane short arm assembly — R28170
– Replacement wind vane long arm assembly — R28171
• Option 3— Replacing wind vane, base and cable. If the wind vane cable requires replacement then
it is advisable to replace the wind vane, its base and the cable. The parts required for this type
of replacement are:
– Short arm wind vane transducer — E22078
