I recently purchased a Raymarine ST4000+, and I'm currently planning -out my installation. Where is the best location to install the fluxgate compass. I was thinking of installing it on the back wall of the engine compartment but there is a wiring block right in the middle. My second choice is at the back end of the quarter birth under the cock pit bench. However even if I install it as close as possible to the inside corner it will not be centered in the boat. Also I wanted to know from those of you who have installed an Autopilot where you mounted the control unit. I had planned on mounting mine on my pedestal guard however the instructions require it be mounted 9" above my existing compass, and I only have about 7".My second mounting choice would be on the port side of the cockpit accross from the engine controls. This way if I install the fluxgate compass under the port bench it will be close. Any opinions or recommendations on the best mounting locations on a Hunter 27 is most appreciated. Happy Cruising !!!
