Correcting the compass deviation
Depending on your boat type, deviating magnetic fields can cause
compass errors up to 15°. The correction procedure reduces these
errors to a few degrees, so you MUST perform this procedure as the
first item in your initial sea trial.The will then automatically
correct the fluxgate compass for most deviating magnetic fields.
CAUTION:
If you fail to complete the deviation correction, your autopilot’s
performance will be impaired on some compass headings.
The deviation correction procedure (swinging the compass) involves
turning your boat in slow circles so the can determine the
deviation and calculate any correction required. You must carry out
this procedure in calm conditions and preferably on flat water.
