Compass? Huh? Just kidding. On the other boat I had one of those KVH Azimuth Digital jobies mounted on the top of the console instead of a standard magnetic compass. Man that was the stupidest thing I have ever done!!!! It was back for repair twice in 1 year and when I "awoke" the boat this year it was all messed up again. Missing digits and the whole thing. I replaced it with a Richie ??5000 and have to say that the Richie is the best darn, and most bueatiful, piece of nav equip on the boat!!

One thing to note.....CRT Radars have magnets!!! It took a while to compensate the compass for the radar's added skew.

You ever notice there is NO such thing as an easy project. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
