I installed my fluxgate on the bulkhead just forward of the mast. Mike C&C 35 Mk III

You can find the manual on the Ray website. Mine is in the wet locker on the recommendation of Chef Dave.

There aren’t any other wires running close to it. Far enough from the engine and control panel too. It doesn’t malfunction often, but when it does you need to be there to correct it.

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.
