Mounting Fluxgate Compass in Aluminium Yacht
Hi, I am about to mount a fluxgate compass into my aluminium yacht, do I have to treat it like a steel yacht and mount it outside or can I treat it likea grp yacht and mount it inside?
Does the aluminium act as a magnetic shield, doesn't appear to effect the hand held compass inside the yacht?
Thanks for your advice?
