[C320-list] Raymarine ST 50 Wind Question

[Jeffrey Hare]

This is a pretty good indication of a poor connection. 

It's likely that the masthead connection may have started to corrode, or the
connection into the back of the ST50 instrument is loose or corroding.

Check the instrument first.  :)

My Raymarine ST50 Wind indicator is acting funny. Some days it works fine
but on other days it doesn't. The problem is with the true wind speed. For
some reason it will suddenly indicate 60 knots. Then it will display a lower
value, then a lower value, etc. every second or two till it gets down to the
true wind speed. Then after a couple of seconds of true wind speed it will
suddenly show 60 knots again followed by a series of seemingly random but
successively lower speeds till it gets back to the true wind speed. This
cycle can continue for hours. Has anybody else experienced this problem and
if so, where should I be looking to correct this.

Thanks.
