I was shocked when my marine repair guy told me that there were rebuild kits for my wind instrument. It's a DataMarine Offshore Link Series III from the 90's. The point being that I don't believe this was a particularly popular or long lived product yet parts are available. You might be surprised too.

Wind speed is fine, but direction read outs are erratic. Very certain the issue is the masthead transducer (5 pin). Suspect the magnet pickups are failing Has been out of production for > 10 years. Design was picked up by Navman and Navico but now discontinued. Got a Navman 3100 masthead unit brand new that supposedly was a comparable item but does not work for close hauled. Magnet orientation is quite different. If anyone has a NAVMAN system this unit is available. Hate to have to replace the unit due to effort involved and have matching units for depth and speed that work just fine. No luck on flea bay or consignment shops for a direct replacement. One suggestion was to try one the new Airmar WX series transducers for NMEA 2000 Any thoughts??
