Raymarine Wind Vane Replacement Kit w/Vane, Bearing & Stud kit

Keep your sailboat's wind readings precise and reliable with the Raymarine TA100 wind vane replacement kit. Designed for marine enthusiasts who demand accuracy in challenging conditions, this kit revives your wind instrument's performance without the hassle of full system overhauls. Whether you're racing competitively or cruising long distances, a fresh vane ensures you capture every shift in wind direction, helping you trim sails optimally and navigate smarter.

Essential Components for Seamless Replacement

The TA100 kit arrives ready to restore your setup, packing the core elements needed for a straightforward swap. You'll get the lightweight, aerodynamic wind vane crafted from durable materials that withstand saltwater corrosion and high winds. Paired with precision bearings for smooth rotation and a sturdy mounting stud, everything aligns perfectly to eliminate play or hesitation in readings. No more erratic displays distracting you from the helm— just plug-and-play reliability.

Perfect Fit for Raymarine Wind Systems

Engineered specifically for Raymarine's popular wind displays, including legacy ST series and modern i-series models, the TA100 integrates flawlessly. It's a direct replacement that maintains the original sensitivity, ensuring your close-hauled angles and apparent wind speeds stay spot-on. Sailors upgrading from older anemometers appreciate how this kit breathes new life into time-tested instruments, preserving your investment in proven marine tech.

Why Your Boat Needs This Upgrade

Over time, exposure to UV rays, salt spray, and constant motion wears down wind vanes, leading to sluggish response or total failure. A compromised vane means misjudged tacks, slower boatspeeds, and frustration during races or foul weather. The TA100 counters this with robust construction that resists fatigue, delivering feather-light movement for readings as crisp as day one. Boaters report sharper tactical decisions and fewer surprises, turning potential downtime into endless horizons.

Simple Installation for On-the-Water Confidence

Swapping in the TA100 takes minimal tools and even less time—ideal for weekend warriors or pros prepping for regattas. Start by powering down your system and securing the mast safely. Remove the old vane by loosening the stud, clean the mounting area, then thread in the new stud with its pre-applied sealant for a watertight seal. Slide on the bearings, attach the vane, and calibrate via your display. Test in light breezes to confirm smooth 360-degree sweeps. Most skippers complete it in under 30 minutes, often at the dock or anchored bay.

• Match torque specs to avoid over-tightening.
• Lubricate bearings sparingly with marine grease.
• Recalibrate after install for peak accuracy.

Long-Term Maintenance for Peak Performance

To maximize lifespan, inspect your vane seasonally for cracks, looseness, or buildup. Rinse with fresh water after every sail to fend off salt crystals, and avoid harsh chemicals that pit the finish. In high-use scenarios like offshore passages, check bearings for grit. Proactive care like this keeps your Raymarine system humming, sparing you mid-voyage headaches and ensuring consistent data for autopilot integration or tactical apps.

Real-World Impact on Your Sailing

Imagine threading the needle through a crowded starting line with unwavering wind data, or holding a perfect broad reach in 25 knots without guesswork. The TA100 delivers that edge, blending Raymarine's heritage engineering with practical upgrades. It's not just a part—it's the difference between good sails and great ones, trusted by circumnavigators and club racers alike for its no-fuss durability.
