Most models have built-in lights which will require routing the wire or wires to your power source. To assure a clean
installation you may want to wait and drill the routing holes after you are satisfied with the compass alignment.
Specific model installation instructions are as follows :
Note for all flush and bulkhead mount compasses:
It is important that you use the mounting gasket included with each model. We do NOT recommend the use of
bedding compound since some brands contain chemicals that could damage the plastic dome.
FN-201, FNW-201, SS-2000, SS-2000W, FN-203 & FNW-203 Flush Mount
Using the mounting template supplied with the compass, make the cutout in your chosen location and mount as
instructed above (Mounting the Compass). Note: If you cannot access the compensation rods from below you need
to allow for easy removal of the compass during compensation. (See Compensation instructions below).
BN-202 Bulkhead Mount
Before making the cut, make sure the bulkhead surface at the mounting location is at a ninety-degree (90°)
angle to the centerline of the boat and is in a vertical position. If such is not the case, a fairing block must
be used between the compass and the bulkhead. Use the mounting template supplied with the compass
for cutting the necessary opening in the vertical bulkhead. If the compass is not mounted in a vertical
position, serious errors can develop when the boat heels over and pitching occurs simultaneously. There
is also potential error from the built-in compensator magnets if the compass is not mounted vertically.

When you have selected and prepared the area for mounting, place the compass in position and remove the three
large Phillips head screws holding the capsule unit to the binnacle. These three screws are located near the outer
edge of the top bezel. NOTE: Do not remove any of the smaller Phillips head screws also located on the top bezel.
The compass capsule can now be lifted out of the binnacle. Please note, the binnacle mounting flange is supplied
with two sets of mounting holes. The slotted mounting holes will be used when the compass is to be mounted on a
pedestal. If the compass is to be mounted directly to the deck, the round mounting holes should be used.
Night Light Wiring (all Models)
All models are supplied with a 12-volt night lighting system. To connect lights to a 24 or 32-volt system, dropping
resistors are available.
Lights should be wired to an appropriately fused 12-volt circuit in your electrical system (i.e. running light circuit).
Connect the red wire to positive and black to ground.
Compensation
A built-in correcting magnet system consists of two sets of magnets fixed to two adjusting rods with slotted ends. The
slots should be horizontal before starting the adjusting procedure. A small non-magnetic screwdriver is provided for
this purpose.
Before starting compensation, make sure you have a suitable location (see Testing Your Chosen Location).
Method 1. (Preferred)
Step One.
With the compass in its intended position, but
not finally secured, (see Mounting the Compass) select a
course on your chart using two fixed aids that are within ten
degrees (10°) of the North/South line. Try to select this
course so that you can maneuver your boat “down range” of
the marks selected (See example).
Step Two. From a position down range of the North/South
marks, and keeping the marks lined up, run the boat
visually along the Northerly course selected. Turn the
port/starboard compensator (slot is facing starboard) until
the compass reads correctly.
Step Three. Simply repeat steps 1 & 2, except this time,
using an East/West course and the fore/aft compensator
