Compass

A compass is installed on each boat to aid in navigation. A magnetic compass is often deflected by iron,
magnets, or electrical current from nearby wiring and must be adjusted to compensate for these outside
influences.
Only a qualified technician should perform compass adjusting and compensation. Since it is seldom
possible to correct compass deviation to zero, a deviation card is created to indicate the correct heading
that must be utilized when navigating by compass. Keep this card near the helm and refer to it when
necessary.
