What’s to stop the wires from pulling loose from the motor?
A tether connecting the tailfin to the mounting post will allow the unit to turn no more than 3 revolutions in either direction. We also have optional mercury-contact slip-rings for unlimited 360 degree rotation. ($250.00) But think about it: when you’re cruising, how often do you spin in circles? Not often! You might tack when sailing to your next anchorage. At anchor or on a mooring, you point into the wind. At a dock, you’re probably plugged into shore power and won’t need the KISS, so just tie it off. It’s likely rare that you’ll find yourself doing 360′s. For those times when you do, the KISS has a light spring which tends to turn the unit back to the forward position when the wind stops. If you are thinking of a mount at the top of your mizzen, please reconsider. It’s extra weight up there, and you won’t be able to use the halyard to support the unit during installation or removal for servicing. Both are safety issues.
