Previous owner replaced the original autopilot with the new Raymarine Ev- 100. BOE Marine in Maryland did the install and they mounted the EV-1 (heading) sensor just inboard of the Waste Tank discharge valve on the aft side of the bulkhead. It is within 1' of the engine/transmission. Specs call for 3' separation from large ferrous metal objects etc. They said they ran a EMI test with their app and it was "OK" but I doubt they did it with the engine running.
Anyway, the unit calibrates with excessive residual deviation (14°-17°), max recommended is < 10°.
Has anyone installed one of these in their 310?
Also noticed they mounted the ACU-100 (Actuator Control Unit) in the NavPod that is just above the ships compass. That unit is supposed to be 3' from the compass...
