Chris,

 

The manufacturers installation recommendations should be followed.  I must
have missed that caution, because I mounted mine on a swivel bracket right
above the compass.  It seems to have no effect on the compass readings,
although I haven't swung my compass in years.

 

I would try a temporary setup to see what happens, before you make it
permanent.

Subject: Stus-List Mounting chartplotter near magnetic compass

 

I've been following this forum for over a year - all good stuff!  Now I need
some advice.  I want to mount a small chartplotter (5" or 6" screen) at the
binnacle, which would place it very close to my magnetic compass.  Seems all
the models on the market today - Raymarine, Garmin, Standard Horizon, etc -
require a separation between the two, anywhere from 12" up to 3 ft.  Makes
it rather difficult to accomplish on a 30ft boat.  I couldn't be the first
sailor to face this dilemma, so any ideas or suggestions would be most
welcome.  Thanks!
