Hi All,

The wind vane on our Wireless Tacktick appears to have given up, the solar panels don't charge the battery (battery recently replaced). I took it down, and if angled directly at the sun, it shows a small charge. Orientate it to its fixed flat position, there is no charge showing.

A new wind vane alone is $730.

Before parting with the cash, I'm looking at wired options.

Does anybody have experience with the i40 series instruments? They are half the price of the i50/i60 series.

Anyone got a Rotavecta Wind? I've read some poor reports on them.

We have a c120 classic plotter and S1 Smartpilot computer with St6001 controller, so the i40 seatalk interface seems appropriate.
