3. MAINTENANCE Compass Bowl The compass bowl should be regularly inspected to ensure that there are no leaks or bubbles. In addition, the upper and lower glass should be maintained in a clean condition, and the compass gimballing checked. A few times per year, and more regularly on vessels with high vibration levels or following heavy weather, an operational test should be carried out on the magnetic compass to ensure that no friction has developed on the pivot and jewel. This operational test should be carried out as follows:‐ Whilst the vessel is alongside, bring a magnetic object towards the compass so that the heading is deviated by 2 degrees. Hold the deviated compass card in this position for 10 seconds, and then release by removing the magnetic object. When the compass card settles it should be within 15 seconds of arc of the original heading. If the compass card does not return within this limit then there is a high level of friction between the pivot and jewel. The compass should be overhauled by a competent authority. Binnacle The C20 Binnacle has one of the simplest periscope arrangements, utilising only one lens and mirror. The lens is easily removed for cleaning at periodic intervals from the foreward side of the binnacle. The only area where maintenance may be required is with the binnacle lighting. There are two LED lamps within the binnacle, and an additional spare, all accessible by removing the binnacle. 5 ...
