Hi Camaraderie!
From what I can remember, it seems to be off on all points. your first point is a good one, as I do have a knotmeter roughly 8-10" away from the
compass. I looked into this possibility first, but the folks that looked at it and heard my dilemma didn't think that that was the cause of my problem. What do you think...?
I had
wheel steering on the Sabre, and had the binnicle
compass which was so nice! Never had a problem with that unit.
PS-thanks for the Ritchie Link!
