Two circuits thanks for reply we are working on raymarine co. but they say we must go through Porrtsmouth(we are in NZ) The compass hdg is awol, the rest seems okey dokey The prce mentioned was retail sx10, I was told the S1G is out of production, would I contact you directly, for price o? thanks Stuart

It replaces the fluxgate compass and adds a few Moore sensors to the system, such as acceleration an deviation sensors to give a m?re intelligent data to the processor
First of all - is the boat compass correct? How does it align with COG? Secondly, do you have a magnetic field that interfere with the fluxgate? To test for this you can use the compass on your smartphone or a handheld compass, move about in the boat and keep the phone/compass aligned with the keel. If the heading drifts in the area where you have your fluxgate today, move it.
Do you have the display configured for "heading up"? If it's "north up" then the map orientation will be fixed and your heading will change. Look at the softkeys under "presentation". The C120 doesn't have a hidden electronic compass; it uses the heading from the GPS (which will wander around when you are stopped). If you have a Raymarine autopilot it will provide compass heading to the C120.
I can't see being 5 degrees off line much of a problem as far as the sweep is concerned.
I'm fairly sure that when you do your 1 1/2 to 2 SLOW circles that the tillerpilot will correct itself to read closer to your actual compass heading as well.
If I were troubleshooting this, I'd manually adjust the orientation of the compass sensor until it matched the true heading. Once that was done, I'd move it side to side to ensure it's changing in the correct directions. If not, the unit could be upside down. Let me know how this turns out.
compass needles are affected by iron objects and can also be affected by field magnetism generated by current flowing through a wire .Bilge pumps , winch motors are heavy current drawers and they could affect the compass operation
while the voltage is low the field of the magnetism around the wire can influence the compass heading so check for any electronic apparatus wiring close to the unit ( radio , radar etc
it may be necessary to run the powers wires in an insulated sheath ( like coaxial cable or other insulated power cables) around sensitive equipment
talk with marine equipment installers to get better ideas as to prevent interference with the compass
Hello Tony; TalonTools.co.nz http://www.husqvarnaoutdoorproducts.co.nz/temp_homepage.html I suspect these are Chinese. Every Chinese saw I have ever encountered recommends 25:1.
