Hydrovane - windvane and emergency rudder/steering system! $6,000 obo

Condition
Used - Good
Hydrovane - an independent self-steering windvane and emergency rudder/steering system. We recently purchased a boat and this is more equipment than we need for what we are doing. No known issues!

Here is the description from the website.
What is a Hydrovane?

Hydrovane is both:
A Self Steering Windvane 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 windvane 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 am listing here and on FB marketplace where I have a solid reputation anyone can check out. Happy to operate is either platform. I'm in Annapolis for the next 4 weeks if anyone wants to come by and check it out.

Price reduced to $4000. I'm currently in Virginia near the bottom of the Chesapeake and heading south. If you are Near Norfolk and want to see the unit and make an offer then it will be coming through this week.

If you are near Beaufort NC and want to take a look then the boat will be based there for 3 weeks during October.
