Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Atom installs a Cape Horn Varuna windvane on a Cape Dory 27 to provide self-steering while accommodating an outboard motor well that prevents the use of standard integrated models.Watch The outboard version uses a stainless steel Z-shaped rod to transfer vertical motion from the wind blade to the servo oar, replacing the gear systems found in other units.1:45 Assembly requires precise alignment of the internal linkage arm and careful handling of backing plates held by double-sided tape inside the mounting tubes.5:38 To mount the tower, Atom drills one-inch holes through the fiberglass locker to pass the support tubes, ensuring the rudder remains at the correct depth in the water.7:28 He uses a messenger line with a weighted end to fish backing plates into position behind the transom.8:26 The installation provides clearance for a Navy 3.0 electric motor.8:07 To prevent the safety connection from disengaging in heavy seaweed, he suggests adding a stiff bungee cord to the rudder assembly.10:30
