[mvweebles]

Brain box with gyro and relays for Vosper mini fins. Worked fine when. It came out of boat. Was built into a cabinet so very clean. $500

Spare bearings and hoses (new original parts) I paid $2k but never installed. $500 I should be able to post pictures later

How does it work? Is it like a seakepper?

These are predecessors to Naiad Stabilizers. This is just the control box that contains relays and a gyro - the brains that run the hydraulic actuators that turn the fins on the stabilizers.

These are long out of production, and while Naiad has new-original-stock (NOS) parts for the mechanical pieces (bearings, bushings, etc), the electrical components are no longer available. The relays could likely be replaced with an off-shelf item, but the gyro cannot be replaced except with a used one such as this one. Given the cost of replacement system starts at about $30k, not a bad spare to have around. Many Hatt's from the 1970s and 1980s have Vospers.

While I have just rebuilt two sets of Vosper brains (largely done a retired engineer neighbor, would be interested in knowing if these are still available?
