I really wonder if wind driven self-steering gear is better than electronic
gear. A. Though electronic gear can fail, carrying a few spare units is less expensive than the initial installation of a windvane system. B. Though electronic gear consumes power, power generation is not a major issue for many cruisers. C. Electronic gear will probably fail at no greater rate than the wind/mechanical system, and would be infinitely easier to replace a as a complete assembly than would be a windvane and its associated gearing. D. Electronic gear takes us much less real estate and leaves an already cluttered transom untouched. My two cents. Glad to hear other opinions. Bill Longyard |
