Hi Gloria and the team there
Just to let you know that the Hydrovane is installed. Took a bit longer than I anticipated for various reasons, but it is up and working now. Have been out in 25 / 30 knots and steered like a dream.
As per the instructions, fitting the E bracket was the hardest part – well not the bracket exactly, but getting the teak block to fit both the horizontal and vertical curves of the transom was the most time consuming of the whole install. Everything else was just so easy.
Please advise all there that I have been extremely pleased with both the product and the support. I will certainly recommend Hydrovane to anyone who is looking for wind vane self steering.
Only outstanding issue now, is to give the vane a name!!
Cheers
