Hello all,

For those who might have an autopilot, where did you mount your fluxgate compass? Any problems?

Raymarine suggests on centerline near center of boat but needs to face forward and away from magnetic influences. I was thinking in the head area in front of mast or in bilge.

Thanks - Neal

Ours is located..

Dealer installed below floor level under the pullman berth in the forward cabin, on the wall that is also the salon wall. That put's it about 4 feet forward of the mast, dead center, about 6" off the boat bottom. Has worked great.

Thanks, didn't think that far forward would be good , but it is pretty dry unless you need to pull the speed transducer for cleaning.

Good to know.
