COMPASS ALIGNMENT
The Compass Alignment electronically compensates for the
misalignment between the autopilot's fluxgate compass and the Earth's
magnetic field. Use the following procedure:
1. The boats actual heading must be known, use a compensated bowl
compass or hand-held compass for reference.
2. Enter the actual heading to correct the misalignment.
For Example:
• The boats actual heading is Due North, 000.
• The autopilot display is indicating West, 270.
• Enter the Compass Alignment value of 000.
Compass Offset should be checked during a sea trial to ensure that it
has been entered accurately.
