Raymarine Wind Vane & Cups, For ST60, ST60+, i60, ST290 Masthead Transducers

Overview

The Raymarine A28167 is a wind vane service kit for compatible Raymarine masthead wind transducers, replacing the vane, counterbalance weight, anemometer cups, and screws at the top of the rig. It works with Raymarine ST60, ST60+, i60, and ST290 egg-shape masthead transducers, helping restore the moving wind-sensing parts that are exposed to sun, salt, vibration, and bird strikes.

This kit is meant for service work on an existing wind transducer rather than a full transducer replacement. It is a practical match for sailboats that still use these Raymarine wind instrument systems and need to keep apparent wind angle and wind speed readings usable without replacing the masthead assembly.

Key features

• Replacement vane and cup set for compatible Raymarine masthead wind transducers.
• Includes the vane, counterbalance weight, anemometer cups, and screws needed for the service point at the masthead.
• Compatible with Raymarine ST60, ST60+, i60, and ST290 egg-shape masthead transducers.
• Useful when existing cups or the wind vane are worn, damaged, missing, or giving poor wind data after exposure aloft.
• Supports repair of the exposed moving parts while keeping the existing instrument system and transducer installation in place.

Compatibility and fit

Before ordering, compare the existing masthead sensor with the system on board. This service kit is for the later Raymarine wind transducer style with hemispherical cups. Some older ST60 installations used a different cup shape and require a different service kit.

Fit is especially important because the vane and cups sit high on the mast, where access can be limited. Confirm the instrument family and the shape of the existing cups before scheduling masthead service.

Installation and use on board

This part is typically installed during masthead wind transducer maintenance, often when the boat is unrigged, hauled, or when safe mast access is available. The service replaces the exposed wind direction and wind speed sensing pieces that take the most abuse from weather and movement aloft.

It is well suited for cruising and sailing boats that depend on Raymarine wind data for trimming sails, monitoring apparent wind, and keeping older instrument systems in service.
