Since I initially thought the display was defective, I wanted to return it. Upon startup, the rotating mouse icon appears, but after that, only two stitches are shown in the center. The Illumination button doesn't even work. This indicates a break in the connection to the transmitter. At first, I suspected the Phillips connectors at the deck joint. However, it turned out to be the adhesive tape on the diode connector. The connector had slipped apart, and the tape was leaking. I reconnected it this time using heat-shrink tubing. The device now works. Unfortunately, the manual doesn't describe this problem.

Excellent value for money, the package arrived well-packaged, and the anemometer was installed on my First 28 without any problems, replacing the old one and requiring no recalibration.
I am satisfied with the product and with SVB.

Very fast and in good condition.

Satisfied with the product's functionality. The only problem I encountered is the cable, and especially the three wires within it, which are very thin. Since the screw connector on the junction box that receives these three wires is very small, and you have to push the very thin wires in with considerable force to overcome the clips, it's not easy.

Furthermore, I was surprised to see that one of these three wires is only sheathed for about 4 cm, and further down the cable, the sheath is completely uninsulated (see attached photo). Is this normal, or is it a manufacturing defect? Since I shortened the cable, I ended up with a wire without sheathing, as shown in the photo.

As soon as a product is called "Marine", "Yacht" or "Boat" ....... it tripples the price!

Well prepared for the new season ... purchased, connected to the laboratory power pack, mounted on the fence ... and in the morning the display consisted of only 2 small bars 'Nothing with 35 kts wind from the west'. Something must have thrown the 'Microcomputer' off course -- 'Every boat feels good'. Switch offSwitch on ... works again. Since then everything is fine again. I'll probably use the hair dryer or the compressor with an 'air gun' again to see if wind force 12 (in gusts) might trigger the malfunction. But maybe the behavior is also intentional and means '2 beers in the pub' ... because in this weather (Zeynep) you don't go sailing ;-). Price high ... but maybe reasonable too, let's see how long the plastic withstands the UV radiation (and the wind) and the 'thing' works.

Good product to date. But cup of fragile anemo.

The wind measuring system does what it's supposed to.
The wind turbine is a bit sluggish and doesn't run in light winds.
The mast cable is much too thin at 3mm, and the connecting wires are also too thin at 1mm.
It's still okay for my small Manta 19, but I wouldn't want to install such a cable in a 15m mast.
You need miniature tools to connect the cables to the connection board.
A screw driver for a lamp terminal is still too big.
The display could be a bit brighter in strong sunlight.
