www.Sail-Search.com: Online sailing retailer West Marine, are holding a Site Wide 10% OFF Sale! West Marine offer the following advice on Compass Installation: Selecting a quality compass is only half the job. After all, it is a precision instrument that needs to be installed properly to be effective and accurate. Here are some basic pointers: * Choose the most visible and comfortable location for the helmsman. * The compass must be aligned with the fore and aft axis of the boat. * Route electrical wires away from the compass. Do not mount near instruments containing magnets or near the engine. * Twist night light wires around one another to cancel out their magnetic field. * Check for deviation caused by magnetic objects. Deviation is the error caused by iron and steel on a boat (hardware and fittings) that causes the compass to point away from magnetic north. Compasses need to be “swung” to determine the amount of deviation, and corrector magnets, which lie below the compass, can be adjusted by hand to eliminate deviation. However, compass correcting is complicated, and generally requires an expert (a so-called compass adjuster) to do it correctly. Beware: corrector magnets cannot eliminate changing electromagnetic sources, such as electrical wiring and electronics.
