MarCeeJay Sport Fishing
By Capt. John N. Raguso
In this month’s column, we’ll pick up where we left off in May and talk about the best spots to install a marine compass on your boat, plus how to compensate your compass for items onboard that might cause it to give false or inaccurate readings.
When using a marine compass as a primary navigation tool, it’s easiest to hold a steady course and to keep your eyes on the water in front of you when the compass is mounted directly over the vessel’s steering wheel somewhere on the dash panel. This ideal location also enhances situational awareness when taking a quick glance at your current magnetic course, since you don’t have to move your eyes too far away from the “real time” action that is happening in front of your boat when underway; one motion is in direct line with the other. I’ve seen some fishing and sport boat layouts where the steering helm is located in one spot (port, starboard or centerline) and the compass is 2-to-3 feet off to one side or another…what were those boat designers thinking? As we discussed in last month’s article, a quality marine compass can be a critical navigational tool when called upon to steer a course home when your onboard electronics have a problem.
If you are starting from scratch on a new installation, the best location to mount your compass is the spot that’s directly in line with your steering line-of-sight. You also want it to be as far away as possible from any magnetic items, which includes VHF radio speakers, ferrous steering wheels, high-voltage/current wires, electronics, etc. According to the folks at Ritchie Navigation, “The compass should be close enough to the helmsman and positioned below the helmsman's line of sight so it is easily read during normal operation. Many boats have a curved mounting surface and if this is the case, a fairing block should be utilized to bring the compass to a level position. Select a location that has no more than 20 degrees deviation on any of the four cardinal points (N S E and W). Most compasses have a built in compensation system that will correct for fixed deviation up to 20 degrees. It is important to realize that proper compensation is not possible when a compass is subjected to a magnetic field that is variable. Some shipboard devices can cause varying magnetic fields. Devices such as windshield wipers, high current carrying wire and even some steering wheels must be considered when selecting a location for your compass.”
Use your compass to test a location before you start cutting holes for the installation process. There are two brass rods near the bottom of the compass which rotate 360 degrees, the slotted ends may be all that is visible. These compensation rods are used to correct your compass for deviation. When testing a location, you do not want pre-set corrections in your compass, so neutralize the comp-rods by setting the slots in a horizontal position.Begin your test by holding the compass away from any possible interference and observing the compass reading. Then move the compass into position carefully, keeping it pointed in the same direction. If the compass reading is different without a change in direction you are observing deviation. You need to find a location that has less than 20-degrees of deviation on the four cardinal points if you intend to adjust your compass using the compensator rods. After finding a suitable location, you should test for intermittent changes in the magnetic field. With the compass mounted temporarily in its intended position try moving the steering wheel, throttle controls, turn on your electronics, start the boat engine, or anything else that might cause deviation. Be advised that a changing magnetic field can’t be corrected with compensation and you will need to find another location for your compass.
When it’s time to start cutting, be sure to mount the compass so that it is aligned with the keel of the boat. An alignment error is a constant error on all headings caused by the compass not being pointed in the same direction as the boat. One recommendation is to temporarily mount the compass using one fastener so if an alignment error is detected it is easily corrected. Masking tape can be used as a reference or to keep the compass steady during installation. If you are mounting to a bulkhead that is not perpendicular to the centerline of the boat, a fairing block must be used. Select hardware that is suitable for your specific installation and be sure that it is NONMAGNETIC. Most quality stainless steel and solid brass fasteners are good to go. If you are unsure, test them with a magnet first before the installation. Most marine compasses have built-in lights that require routing the wire to a 12v power source. To assure a clean installation you may want to wait and drill the wire’s routing holes after you are satisfied with the compass alignment.
The engineers at Ritchie Navigation have a specific method that they recommend to compensate your compass for any onboard deviation and it is as follows:
Step One. With the compass in its intended position, but not finally secured, 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.
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 (slot is facing aft).
Step Four. Check compass alignment by running the boat in a Southerly direction, again keeping the marks lined up. If the compass is not correct at this time, there is an alignment error. To correct, rotate the compass itself to remove one half of this error. Repeat steps 1, 2 & 4 until your North/South line is correct then repeat step 3.
Step Five. Install fasteners, taking care not to disturb the compass alignment.
Your compass is a critical navigation tool that that be an absolute life-saver should your electrical system ever fail when offshore. It has happened to me on a few occasions. It’s never any fun, but my trusty marine compass saved the day each time. Choose the quality of your compass choice wisely, take care to mount it properly and be sure to compensate
