Just to be clear on this, my fluxgate compass heading seems to be correct, 

But the little boat symbol is rotated 135 degrees clockwise, and my wind is off 
by either that amount or 180 degrees, I can’t remember that part now.

Hmmm.  My Nexus fluxgate compass is also about the same amount off my normal 
compass.  I had to remove the transducer temporarily for the core repair work 
that we did, so I assumed that I messed something up which needs to be 
recalibrated.  Very curious that you are having a similar issue.

Well, I did the turns, and it is still 135° off. I guess I will have to dig a 
Little deeper. Maybe It has something to do with how the boat is rotated.

There is an RFC 35r rate compass installed. I'm assuming it would be a

Good call. 

This has me thinking. I just brought it up on the screen and I can actually 
calibrate it . I couldn't figure out how in the world I would do that,  because 
they are so old and different. But it looks like when we get back to Port, I 
will do my turns. And see if something magical happens.
