The installation was done while my boat was in the yard for bottom paint. My Grandson was in the boat when we tightened the bracket bolts, otherwise I did 90% of the installation myself. The Hydrovane works great, it steers a straighter course than me hand steering, the lateral vane movement is minor only a few degrees with up to 15 knots of breeze. I’ll be exploring more conditions as I encounter them. I’m very happy with the Hydrovane performance on my boat.

[Editor’s Note: This installation features our white powder coating option, adding a layer of heavy-duty white paint over the anodised castings]
