Chris: all manufacturers are minimising the chances that you, and they, may have a problem. I have mounted many units immediately adjacent to compasses with no apparent effect. However, I have always done a trial fit first to make sure. Be very careful of power leads near compasses. They can often be more problematic.

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!
