Have you any suggestions as to buying one? Keith F<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p>Hi Keith: I would look for an Aires servo pendulum vane. Great unit, lots of them made. They steer like a champ. As to where to find one, that is a bit tougher. I would start with a &quot;Google&quot; web search for &quot;Aries Wind Vane&quot; or maybe &quot;Nick Franklin&quot; who used to build them. Monitor makes a modern version of the Aries in stainless, but they are going to be more costly and are no more functional.<\/p>\n<p>I know they turn up from time to time as my daughter found one some years ago on a boat in Mexico and added it to her boat.
