Wind Vanes

#1 Post by DocPit » Sat Oct 02, 2021 1:05 pm

Are there any wind vanes that have mounting hardware that will clamp on to the square aluminum trim of a pontoon boat? I don't want to screw it into permanent holes in the trim.

I've just got to ask why?

What ever way your pontoon is pushed with engine off tells you the direction of the wind, Many times I have been doing 4 mph with the engine off, so I guess I was being green :rofl

Your over thinking it. As pointed out you could just assess your movement over water. But if you really want an indicator, just tie a longer ribbon to your bimini frame or your light mast. Problem solved.

Are you looking for something decorative?

I'm looking to replace one of my flags with a "Go Brandon" flag.
