Charlie,
Are you saying the propeller is sticking or the vane is sticking? Might be
spiders. Seriously, spiders sometimes make nests in wind instruments.
Either way, you might be able to fix it. They're fairly simple units.
I have an older Nexus (now Garmin) propeller style wind instrument.

flawlessly until this year when something happened to the speed sensor. I have

Things get old. We age with them. My new instruments are already old but I

Does anyone have experience with the Airmar WS-150WX?
This is an ultra-sonic transducer that seems to measure just about everything:
true/apparent wind, pressure, temp, gps, compas, pitch & roll, NMEA 0183/2000.

Hi Marek,
I have a Raymarine T120 wireless wind anemometer that I'm trying to sell.

Investigate the Garmin Gwind transducer and Gnd 10 black box bridge. At

It's a descendant of the Nexus instruments. My 22 year old Nexus

to interface my Nexus instruments
I'm happy with my Nexus 2 masthead transducer. It is wired, although a
wireless version is available. It is now a Garmin unit, as Garmin acquired
Nexus several years ago. My original transducer was damaged during a
knock-down, and Garmin had a replacement program that allowed me to turn in
