We dropped the pole and hen dis-connected the wires to the boat. Debbie put a line on the wires and then a rag in the pole. Then she taped the top of the pole with white electoral tape. We cleaned and polished the pole and put it back up.

Bay Mexico (by Puerto Vallarta)
Not much room at the end of the piling Debbie!
We then re-ran Test 1 again with only the wires from the Air Breeze wind generator and it failed. We just shot off an email to Air Breeze wind generator support at "Southwest
TEST 1
1) Remove the blade/hub assembly from the turbine and place in a safe
location. Replace the rotor hub nut on the rotor shaft.
2) Attempt to quickly spin the rotor shaft with your fingers while connecting
and disconnecting the red and black wires (turbine must not be
connected to batteries). A second person is may be helpful to perform
this test.
3) With the red and black wires connected to each other the shaft should
be more difficult to turn. Replace the rotor hub nut on the rotor shaft.
With the yaw wires disconnected it should spin freely. Spinning the
shaft quickly makes difference easier to detect. If these conditions
do not exist, you should contact your turbine dealer or Southwest
Windpower.
