Moving this month and need to sell Hydrovane VXA2D self steering windvane as soon as possible. This Hydrovane was mounted on my 1999 Beneteau First 40.7 and used for one Bermuda race.

I bought it new and used it on my Beneteau for a Bermuda race and solo return to Newport. After that it came off the boat and went into the garage.
Plans changed and no more long distance sailing meant it collects dust which is a shame for such a great piece of equipment. The configuration I got was for my Beneteau First 40.7 was a Hydrovane model VXA2D M/E/H
Drive Unit, Vane, Rudder - US$4,032
'H' Bracket - $445
'E' Bracket - $551
'M' shaft - $910
My total invoice for the system was $5,835.00

Depending upon your installation you will likely need to purchase the mounting tubes from Hydrovane as each installation cuts the stock lengths to size. You will also need to purchase half of each bracket since the half mounted on the boat is still on the boat. All things considered, I'm asking
$2500 for it.

Pick up is in Northern NJ - zip code 07470
