how to install raymarine fluxgate compass manual

As I recall, the mechanical part consists of mounting a post to the binnacle, bolting the autopilot to the wheel with supplied hardware and mounting the control head and fluxgate compass (requires drilling of holes - a two inch hole saw for the former). Most of the work is in running the wires, which will vary from boat to boat. If you have reasonably good mechanical and electrical skills it should be no problem for a novice. Compass alignment might take another hour or two, depending on how picky you are (involves steady turning in a circle with the boat to get the autopilot within 1-3 degrees of the magnetic compass). It''s been a few years, but as I recall it took about four hours.
