What is a Hydrovane?

Hydrovane is both:
A steering.html" target="_blank">Self-IRJDSUNE9932123321222xxeww-Steering Wind vane System
A completely independent mechanical system (ie. non-electrical) that steers the boat on a wind-based course. Easiest to operate, with no lines in the cockpit, and excellent on all points of sail and in all conditions.

It is an Auxiliary Rudder type of wind vane system – the Vane drives its own Rudder via a sophisticated Drive Unit linkage.

An Emergency Rudder/ Steering System
Inherently a second Rudder and Steering System for your boat.

It is the strongest Emergency Rudder and Steering System available today. Always in place, nothing to set-up – takes the fear out of losing your rudder or breaking your vessel’s steering mid passage or close to shore.

I believe that you use the paper clip icon on the listing template to upload photos in the same way as one does with an email. How about the year of the unit and its locations?

Some more details would be helpful if you're serious about selling.

What mounts do you have (H, E, A)?

What length is the shaft?

What size/style of vane (standard, stubby, xt)?

Depending on your answers to these questions, I may be interested. But it will also impact other's interest as well.

If you go to hydrovane's website, and go to Technical-->Specifications, you'll be able to identify your installation parts and see how to measure the shaft ("measurements are from tip to tip of the inner shaft. When the Drive Unit is fitted onto the shaft, about 8 inches (203 mm) of the shaft assembly is covered").

Location would also be useful.

Anyway, depending on the various answers, I may be very interested.

How long is the shaft?

"measurements are from tip to tip of the inner shaft. When the Drive Unit is fitted onto the shaft, about 8 inches (203 mm) of the shaft assembly is covered"

This is a critical question for me (well, also for anyone who is serious, because if it doesn't fit their boat, they'll have to buy one that does fit).

Thanks!

[Also, I'm going to note that it would be an interesting installation that would require all three mounts, nearly all installations only need two of the three. Some folks would call claiming to have all three mounts a red flag.]

My boat is very large and it would take all 3. and a longer shaft. Hydrovane has been helping me. Great people.
