Aries Wind Vane Steering

Post by pefjr »

I just got lucky and picked an old excellent condition Aires. It's going on my 32' Columbia. Anyone have experience with these? I would like to hear about any info, thanks in advance.

I'm sure if you search/post on the seven seas cruising board (ssca) someone will aim you in the right direction. Lot's of the folks on that board bluewater cruise & like vanes.
