No cans!

If you hang a bag of steel cans to be recycled so it hangs right over that thing I guarantee you'll have some truely bizarre readings/behaviour from your autopilot! Now how would I know that? Surely I couldn't have been that dense...

The flux gate compass unit for the auto pilot. Keep metal objects away from it.

Interesting Location

In the picture it looks like it's against the forward bulkhead of the aft berth storage area. I think I remember that the the Autohelm manual advises to locate it down low, and centered in the boat, away from large metal masses. I've found it kind of tough to find a place like that on the C310.
