Hi there!
My 28TE flash deck experiencing problems with the autopilot. The fluxgate is mounted on the bulkhead in front of the fuel tank and I am afraid it is not the ideal position. For those with a perfectly operating autopilot, would you please let me know where your fluxgate is installed?
Thank you and Happy Hollidays!

Hi Zeus - my raymarine ST 6002 fluxgate sensor is mounted in the starboard compartment under the v-berth. The cleanest magnetic environment I could find. Just have to be sure to not put a toolbox right next to it. (this is on a motor box 28TE)

Re: Autopilot fluxgate
Mine is in the cabinet, under the bathroom sink. It’s on the forward wall, toward port, as close as possible to the the boat’s centerline.

Re: Autopilot fluxgate
In our 27FC, it's in the hanging locker, pretty much on the centerline and about deck height.

Re: Autopilot fluxgate
Thank you all for your replies, I am in the process moving it to the forward locker.
