Ultra wide viewing anglesBattery level indicatorEasy to read large digitsData Displayed:HeadingTactical ScaleRace Timer The elimination of wires in the mast not only reduces spar weight but also lowers the boat's centre of gravity, giving significant and immediate performance advantage.When embroidering, the readings are the same, which means you will not need to remember the numbers.

Digital compasses deliver this data right into your natural field of view, where you need it, how you need it, when you need it.

Using your iron, heat up the large hole first and just wedge the battery away from the board. Once that is done, see if you can remove the foam using a needle nose or a long screw driver. Then, heat up the smaller hole which is the center post of the battery. Use care when removing all four batteries, and save the foam. Do not wedge them against the LCD panel as it may break.

And there's no need for holes in the bulkhead or wires down the mast.How do you decide between these compasses? This article looks at the factors involved, but first why choose an electronic compass? You only have to look at Laser medal race videos to see that the vast majority of the top sailors have moved from analogue to electronic. Electronic compasses are smaller, lighter, but it is the ease of reading that is the main reason – the digital display is much clearer than the graduations on an analogue compass, isn’t subject to the variation dependent upon viewing angle, and is faster to respond to heading change. All these lead to electronic compasses having greater useable accuracy which make it far easier to see heading changes. Clip away some of the leads on the batteries. I shortened the centre post, and made the edge post thinner. This made it easier to fit things into place. Whether you are racing multi-hulls, dinghies, keel or sports boats... Raymarine Wireless racing displays deliver precise data where you need it and when you need it!
