Now sold.

Fluxgate compass for Autohelm Tiller Pilot, used, in good condition, ribbon tape good. Was working fine when removed. £100(ish) new. £50 inc postage to UK. Don't hesitate to ask any questions! Cheers. Sparkie

Use Makrolon instead.....much better. Had washboards on my old boat 30+ years old and good as new.

PM sent.

Thanks all. Took the plunge and bought one, seems well made, see how it performs.

I've got a tin in the shed 90% full- and I hate not using stuff if I've bought it- says it all really. Useless.

Half an hour spare so fired it up on the bench.... not quite as blue in real life...

I've not fired it up yet so can't give you any advice on screen colour, it will be a couple of weeks before I can get round to it so I'll report back then.

Glad to see this has annoyed others as well as myself. Didn't know anything about it until the bill arrived yesterday. Was it raised at the last Harbour Users Committee meeting? I've not attended since it went Zoomy..... Huge increase bearing in mind that we get so little in return. Council...

Thanks all, brilliant response.

Mind made up then.... order placed. Cheers.

Fortunately I don't need one. Set location is within arm's reach of the wheel. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for that endorsement. Reassuring. I'll go with that I think. Cheers.

Thanks for that- seems to be a well known brand. Cheers.

Hi all, need to buy a new VHF after my old XM deceided to self-destruct-- has anyone owned/used on of these? Spec seems to tick all the boxes.
