Hi all,
I have a 1985 Tall Rig, and I'm about to install the Raymarine EV-100 autopilot. I currently have the original instrument pods, one on either side of the compass, at the same level as the throttle and shift levers. The one to port has depth, and the one to starboard is supposed to have speed, but is non-functional.
I'm thinking of placing the P70s control head for the autopilot in the starboard instrument pod. The directions for it say that you should keep it 2 feet from your compass. The pod is maybe a foot from the compass.
My question is, has anyone put the P70s control head in a similar place, and if so, has there been any interference with the compass?
Thanks!
