Hi;
ST60 was installed 3 years ago. For the last two years the display shows the wind vane "sticking"
Over some time during an outing it will "stick", usually with the wind abaft, but also on other reaches and hauls with the meter in any given point. It will then spontaneously unstick after about 20 minutes. And then do it again. Rebooting etc. doesn't unstick it. Behaves as though it is sticking at the top of the mast but I visually can't see it. The mast comes down each winter and the pointer always rotates freely. Don't think it's spider webs or bird residues. Is independent of wind force; can happen in strong or light winds. Wiring is secure at instrument.
Anyone experience this? Thanks as always.
