2.5 Installing the SeaWays GO sensor
Mounting options
2.5.1
NOTE
In the event of a discrepancy between the SeaWays GO compass
documentation and Dometic manual, the compass manufacturer will
take precedence.
NOTE
SeaWays GO is a heading only integrated autopilot when used with
Optimus EPS systems. The sensor must be purchased from Dometic in
order to be licensed as such.
The SeaWays GO compass sensor can be mounted on a flat surface or
bulkhead, athwart ship or along ship. Select a location that provides a solid
mounting place free from vibration (as much as possible), and as close to
the vessel's centre of roll and pitch as possible, i.e. close to the water line.
It should be as far as possible away from disturbing magnetic interferences
e.g. engines [min. 6 ft. (2 meters)], ignition cables, other large metal objects
and particularly the autopilot drive unit. On steel hull boats, it can be mounted
2.5 – 3.3 ft. (0.75–1 m) above the wheel house on a non-magnetic stand, if
no other options are available.
The compass can be mounted directly to a flat surface, or by using a
wall bracket.
