I would suspect the fluxgate compass may be located in a bad place on the boat 
where it is affected by something metallic. Or maybe the wiring is experiencing 
a surge from a power source? Besides many hours of sailing and motoring a 
narrow ICW channel, I made at least seven 12 to 13 hour trips using our ST 
4000plus and never experienced that problem. Six hours from Atlantic City to 
Cape May and six hours Cape May to Greenwich, NJ.

Wasn't there some discussion a few months ago about this and someone suggested 
it might be a motor, like perhaps a domestic water pump kicking on and off, 
setting up a magnetic field?

My Autohelm 4000+ gets a workout every summer. We motor to Solomons and back, 
13 hours each way. It usually does a pretty good job, but once in a while makes 
a 90 turn and tries to run us aground. I like it, but I also need to keep an 
eye on it.
