Calibration

The compass unit will need to be rotated in its bracket for the correct
heading to be displayed, lock the compass in position using the ‘Locking
Screw’ on the top of the Bracket. The compass is calibrated before leaving
the factory and will be accurate enough for sea trials. After initial sea trials,
you

may

wish to recalibrate the

Bosun

compass, although in most cases

the factory calibration will be as good as or better than calibration achieved
on the vessel. See the Compass Calibration Section.
