Wind vane blade and cup kit

This kit is specifically designed to be compatible with masthead wind transducers associated with the following Raymarine instrument ranges:

ST60, ST60+, i60. It is not compatible with older ranges such as ST50 or wireless sensors (Tacktick).

The A28167 spare kit is a complete set for the mechanical part of your wind transducer / vane anemometer. It includes:

A wind vane blade (for wind direction)A set of anemometer cups (for wind speed)The hardware required to assemble these components.

No, replacing the blade and buckets is a simple mechanical task that does not require any electronics skills. The main challenge is safely accessing the masthead. Once up there, the change is quick using basic tools.

Using the original A28167 kit is critical for several reasons:

Measurement accuracy: The parts are perfectly balanced and have the exact aerodynamic profile defined by Raymarine, ensuring reliable wind speed and direction data.Durability: An unofficial or unbalanced part can cause vibrations, leading to premature wear of the sensor bearings.Perfect compatibility: You are guaranteed a hassle-free installation with no modifications required.

No, this A28167 kit is not compatible with Raymarine wireless wind sensors. Wireless systems have their own specific spare parts, such as part number T120 for the wind vane.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to calibrate your wind system after replacing the blade. This mainly involves realigning the wind direction with the boat's axis to ensure the instrument correctly indicates the "zero" (headwind). Consult your display's manual for the exact procedure.

The blade and the cups are the most exposed parts of the instrument. The most frequent causes of damage are:

Impacts with birds at the masthead.Extreme weather conditions (storm, hail).Natural degradation due to prolonged exposure to UV and salt air, which can weaken the plastic.

No, this kit is exclusively designed for Raymarine wind sensors in the ST60, ST60+ and i60 series. The dimensions, mounting system and balancing are specific to these models and will not be compatible with equipment from other manufacturers.

No, no special tools are required. A small Phillips screwdriver and/or a small Allen key (hex) are usually sufficient to remove old parts and secure new ones.

These official Raymarine spare parts are made of high-quality plastic, treated to resist UV rays and the marine environment. This composition ensures good durability against sun exposure, salt, and temperature variations.

Yes, absolutely. Kit A28167 is the official replacement part and fully compatible with the wind transducer paired with the Raymarine i60 display.

No, absolutely none. Replacing the blade and buckets is a purely mechanical operation. You will not need to disconnect or handle the sensor wiring.

The weight of the product (blade and cups) is approximately 0.2 kg. This lightweight design complies with the original specifications to avoid disrupting the balance and responsiveness of the sensor at the masthead.

No, the A28167 kit is not compatible with ST50 series sensors. The paddle design and cup mounting system were different on these older models.

Replacing only the blade and cups with this kit is a much more economical solution than changing the entire masthead sensor. If the electronics of your sensor are still functioning correctly, this kit is sufficient to restore full functionality at a lower cost.

No, on the contrary. Using an official Raymarine spare part such as the A28167 kit for a repair is the recommended procedure. This ensures the performance of your system is maintained and does not pose any issue regarding the overall warranty of your instruments.

To verify compatibility, the best method is to identify the model of your cockpit wind display. If it is an ST60, ST60+ or i60 model, this A28167 kit is the one you need.

The A28167 kit packaging contains the following items:

1x Wind vane blade
1x Anemometer cups assembly
1x Mounting screw for the blade

Yes, this kit is manufactured by Raymarine to current standards. The color (typically black) and finish are identical to those of the original parts fitted on the sensors of the ST60, ST60+ and i60 ranges.

No, Raymarine sells these spare parts as a complete kit (A28167) including both the blade and the bucket assembly. They cannot be purchased separately as official spare parts.
