RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] compass location



Dan,
 
  I had not concidered the hull itself to be a problem. Thank you for the insight as this will really come in handy later!

The magnetic compass wouldn't work inside the steel sub.  I originally had it closer to the viewport but it still didn't work there.  It works somewhat out on the fiberglass MBT but even out there it's not really reliable.  That's why I installed a gyro compass.

This brings up a question...
 
Dan, is the reason for your mounting your compass outide the forward viewport window so that it can be monitored in such a way so as not to distract you from your water viewing pleasure, or is there some other not so obvious reason?
