For Sale: SailOMat 601 Windvane with remote course control - $1200

[pressuredrop]

Sailomat 601 with RCC (Remote course control) option so course can be adjusted from anywhere in the cockpit. this vane gear is amazing and has not let me down in the last year and 2000 miles that it has been on the boat

I am only selling this because I have built my own trim tab self steering gear. everything is there ready to install on your boat, owners manual and an extra airvane included.

$1200

Prefer local pickup in west palm beach, fl. or I can meet you within 75 miles of there...

more pictures including my new stearing gear I love to show off

my imitation of the freehand trim tab self steering

[sanibel sailor]

I built a similar vane. Good and sturdy. I found that the performance was much enhanced by making the wooden part much more delicate and lightweight. I bears almost no load.

Hi
What is the RCC all about ?
wimpel

[pressuredrop]

it is the gray drum around the airvane shaft seen in the first picture, can be seen in other pics, line around the drum runs to the cockpit to adjust course as drum rotate the air vane. it is an option sailomat offers but I built my own as I could not wait the 2 weeks for theirs... I have the spring loaded plunger which I used if the RCC drum is taken off but then you need to put your hand on the airvane mech and rotate the vane by hand, with rcc you can make minute adjustments by pulling the line...

dont be fooled by shiny stainless! this is the finest servo gear made (IMHO)

Where did you get the plans/info for building your own, or did you just create it based off of other designs? My buddy has a nor'sea 27 and we're trying to figure out something that works.

Thanks!

[pressuredrop]

this thing works!, cheaper and easier than building your own...
I copied the free hand system but that only works with a boomkin mounted back stay...

$1000 cant go any lower

[pressuredrop]

thought this was an easy sell at this price....

Everybody drank the electronic autopilot KoolAid

[pressuredrop]

still available at a cool $1000

[SF Bay Dude]

It seems a fair price. I was looking for a friend's boat - he has a Nor'Sea 27, but I am not sure that it would fit the boat with the canoe stern. Good luck with the sale!

[pressuredrop]

cant believe im still sitting on this... REASONABLE offer will not be refused...

[Snowpetrel]

I can't believe it hasn't sold. Shame it's in the US and not Tassie! Those units look very very good.
