Raymarine ST40 wind calibration
The St40 wind manual has a flow chart for user calibration.
It isn't at all obvious to me what the outcome of the "Align Transducer" step is. I'm hoping that someone out there has successfully aligned their ST40 or perhaps a benevolent Raymarine tech can advise. I understand that the intent is to align the masthead sensor to the boat, I just don't understand what reading I am meant to see on the display after pushing buttons in some non-obvious way.

I had an ST30 wind instrument - the "align sensor" adjustment adjusts the display so it shows the actual (apparent) wind direction. Easiest adjustment technique is to motor head-to-wind, and adjust the alignment so the display points straight up. -- Peter Bennett, VE7CEI new newsgroup users info : http://vancouver-webpages.com/nnq GPS and NMEA info: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter Vancouver Power Squadron: http://vancouver.powersquadron.ca |

Thanks Pete, I'll try that
