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.

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!
