<p dir="ltr">Hi Jim, most likely in will be mounting it aft behind my emergency buoy. It's the farthest point away from the pressure vessel. Hopefully 5 feet is enough distance. That being said, the sensor does have an orientation direction mark indicating forward, so maybe the steel hull in front of the sensor may not be a good ideal. If I move it forward I can only get about 2 feet away from the pressure hull.<br>

<div dir="ltr">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.
