Compass<br />

A compass is installed on each boat to aid in navigation. A magnetic compass is often deflected by iron,<br />

magnets, or electrical current from nearby wiring and must be adjusted to compensate for these influences.<br />

Only a qualified technician should perform compass adjusting/compensation. Since it is seldom possible to<br />

correct compass deviation to zero, a deviation card is created to indicate the correct heading that must be<br />

utilized when navigating by compass. Keep this card near the helm and refer to it as necessary.<br />
