Hello CD lovers,
I have existing holes for a previous wind vane and would like to get help identifying which one it was that way I can avoid drilling new holes on the boat. Attached are picture of the measurements of the existing holes.
Might be a long shot but I figured might as well try.

More pictures. I have been told Monitor and Aries so far.

Re: Help me ID a previous wind vane
I just went out and took a look at the Monitor brackets on Raven (CD-30).
What you had was definitely not a Monitor. The bracket bases do not have rounded corners like the outlines you show. They are also set at an angle because they support diagonal braces. The bolt holes are 3" apart and there is Aprox. 41" between them.
You might take a closer look at some Areis installations but it is not a Monitor. If it was my boat, I would get the vane I liked and plug the holes if needed, Steve.

Re: Help me ID a previous wind vane
You're right. I'll probably roll with a CPT autopilot while I'm staying coastal. I'll wait around and hopefully get my hands on a good used one.Steve Laume wrote:I just went out and took a look at the Monitor brackets on Raven (CD-30).
