Product Information
Full details
The Oakley Mini Yacht Weathervane is designed for marine enthusiasts or those who appreciate nautical decor. Its primary benefit is accurately indicating wind direction with a charming yacht design. A potential caveat is its size, which is noted as 'mini', making it suitable for smaller structures. This weathervane is constructed from steel with an exterior-quality black powder coat finish, includes all necessary fixings for horizontal and vertical mounting, and comes with NSEW cardinal points.

Troubleshooting
Weathervane does not spin freely.
Ensure the mounting is secure and level. Check that no part of the weathervane or its fixings are obstructed by nearby objects. Gently inspect the pivot point for any debris or damage.
Cardinal points are misaligned.
Loosen the fixings for the cardinal points and re-align them with true North, East, South, and West. Retighten securely. Ensure the main weathervane is also correctly oriented.
Excessive noise in high winds.
Ensure all components are securely fastened. Slight movement is normal, but rattling may indicate loose parts. Check the main pivot point for lubrication if accessible, though typically designed for maintenance-free operation.
