I installed a Raymarine compass sensor in a GRP sailing boat underneath the chart table at least 50 cm away from metal and magnets. It is connected to a SP X-5 computer unit and a ST6002 autopilot controller. According to the magnetic compass in the overhead instrument compartment, the heading of the docked boat is 285 deg. A hand compass held next to the sensor gives the correct heading of 285 deg.

Manuals Directory ManualsDir.com - online owner manuals library. The fluxgate compass should, ideally, be sited on a forward facing bulkhead with the Autohelm logo facing forwards. The compass should also be as close to the pitch and roll centre of the vessel as possible and sited (at least 0.8m). RAYMARINE FLUXGATE COMPASS. INSTALLATION GUIDE www.raymarine.com! COMPASS AREA.

When I boot the SP X-5 however, the ST6002 gives a heading of 35 deg. Any suggestion what could be wrong?

My Fluxgate compass has been playing up for a while now so I have just bought another one. It comes with two graphite magnets that I assume must clip round the cable to stop interference? But I cannot fine any details of how and where they are to be used. Can anyone help?I would hope they are not magnets!

They should be RF suppression beads that clip onto the cable - though I have to say that there were none included with the last Raymarine compass that I installed. If you have two, clip one round the cable at each end. Do it before you swing the compass in order to allow it to compensate for any deviation that the bead introduces, though I would hope that it would be minimal.

Swing the compass? What's that?You're supposed to go round in a big circle, pressing buttons to minimise local deviation.

All in the book of instructions. Of course, like most men, secure in the knowledge that you're an electromechanical genius, you feel that such books just confuse and are only for women and namby-pambys. Trouble is, unless you sail in a fairly restricted area, it changes when you move sailing areas. I gave up when the St Mary's boat rushed out to find out what my problem might have been. The latest generation of Raymarines are a lot easier to set up - you just sail the boat for half an hour or so, making sure that you do at least one 360 degree turn along the way, and the course computer monitors how it handles and learns the configuration of the boat including the compass. It then continues to monitor all the time the boat is being steered manually and fine tunes itself.

Our previous Raymarine autopilot was far more fiddly to get configured - including going round and round in a tight circle for several minutes so that it could get the deviation on the compass worked out.
