Product used on a 36 footer both outside and inside without problem; the aerial placed at the top of the mast. There remains the relatively high price and knowing its resistance over time.

The wind system is used on an Archambault Surprise. Mounting on the mast top possible without any problems. The wireless transmission to the instrument works flawlessly, no maintenance required, the measurements are accurate and are clearly shown on the display. The price could be a little lower. The night lighting should be a little brighter in the brightest level. Nevertheless, I would buy exactly this system again.

Super easy to use and install

I use the product on a 18m steel boat. The first anemometer I bought in 2018 (same model, Raymarine MN100-2) had a significantly better range and higher transmission power. When assembling the second, recently purchased model (2023), the transmission power was no longer nearly sufficient, although the radio link was identical, as were the assembly points. In order to use the device, I had to change the position of the receiver greatly, which results in disadvantages when using it.

I actually found the device good, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it again, but unfortunately, like many industrial products, it is supposedly the same quality but significantly worse internally due to greed for profit. For that reason I wouldn't buy it again. George Gundacker

The battery life is a complete disappointment. The battery lasts about one to one and a half seasons, then it's gone. This is particularly nice when you then have to put it back up in the mast. Dismantle it, send it in and put it back up in the mast to reinstall it. I sent the device in twice in the three-year guarantee period to have the battery replaced. Now the guarantee has expired and I have to shell out €70 or more every season for the special battery. Don't buy this thing!

The specifications do not correspond to the reality product not working immediately bought by another friend who had the same problem. I wonder how raymarine can market such products; the Italian Raymarine technician strongly advised against the purchase by refusing to withdraw it for the one year warranty. I hope SVG will send me return and warranty replacement forms. Arrived on January 6, 2021 and mounted in June 2021, the viewer was not even mounted. I look forward to it.
