Can anyone share the experience/cost of installing a masthead wind
instrument?
The boat show is here in Boston tomorrow, and I'd like to purchase a
wind instrument, but I'm a little curious on the installation..
Is there a conduit in the mast where I will be able to easily feed the
wire(s)?
Can this be done with the mast up?
What should the approx. cost be to have this installed by the yard?
The Raymarine wind instrument seems like a safe choice, but I'm also
interested in the newer ultrasonic units as they have no moving parts
and offer more information (like temperature and humidity) like this one

I'm also considering getting the ST60 multi-pack with wind, depth, and
speed.. as I only have depth today.
I'll need to install an through-hull transducer for this and I'm
somewhat scared about drilling a hold in the bottom of my boat.. is this
more or less complicated than I think? Again, does anyone have an idea
on what the cost should be to have this done by the yard?
Thanks!!
