Hi all

Had St 50 autohlm where the wind vane was corroded and jammed. Removed from mast and lubricated to be free turning. When refixed to transducer on mast only 2dashes showed on display. Is it likely to have been damaged by over lubricating from the top or is it needing to be recalibrated? if recal needed how is this done.

Calibration is effective only if out of correct reading within small %.
What type of Transducer? Resistor potentiometer 360 deg. no stop.
Find out. it is easy to test without climbing a mast again.
