The mast head connections of the VHF aerial and of the wind instrumentation must be
checked once or twice a season, or in case of any must head repair.

The corroded or oxidized contact surfaces must be well cleaned and sprinkled with a
suitable spray (such as CRC) to preserve the electrical contacts efficiency.
