[PSUBS-MAILIST] Flux Gate Compass

[via Personal_Submersibles]

David,
Gary Sluis seemed to be very pleased with the flux gate  compass he mounted 
on Gen3.  you can see the sensor mounted on the mast in  the pic below.  
Where do you plan to mount your sensor?  Do you plan  to have displays in each 
cockpit?

Hi Guys, I just picked up a flux gate compass,by Micronta (Radio  shack) 
which comes with about a 9" long pig tail from the sensor to the unit  itself. 
I think it could work quite nicely if I can extend the length of wire  from 
sensor to the display. Any thoughts about  this. The sensor is about  1" 
cubed and has a lead with six wires into the display. Its a 12v unit and  the 
power input is on the display itself. So before I tear it apart, I thought  
I would put it out there on the possibility and how to determine the  
appropriate wire gauge size. I will want to extend the pigtail to around 10  feet.
