[C320-list] Raymarine ST 50 Wind Question

[Mark Calisti]

The last two seasons, we have also had a problem with the unit; however, it 
was the wind direction, not the velocity, that was the issue. We tried to 
recalibrate numerous times, changed the unit, and had the marina check the 
masthead, all with no luck.
