Some basic electronics bench repair tools (30W Soldering iron, lead/tin solder, copper braid, long pliers, sponge) There is not much I can tell you about this, you just need to figure out how to get the new batteries in place. Here are some tips... So, what are the factors that need to be considered in deciding which electronic compass is right for you?

(highlighted in RED) Digital compasses deliver this data right into your natural field of view, where you need it, how you need it, when you need it. The Raymarine Wireless Micro Compass gives you a massive racing advantage. It is light, easy to read, reliable and precise.Even in cloudy weather, if you position the solar cell as above for 5 days, then you should achieve enough charge to complete a weekends racing. 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. 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! Raymarine Wireless racing displays receive and display data wirelessly from Hull and Wind transmitters, including polar data, true wind speed and angle, VMG and compass heading. 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.

Using clip-in cradles, your display can be placed anywhere on your boat, allowing you to view the information where and when you need it. AllRaymarine Wirelessproducts are sealed for life and completely waterproof (submersible to 10m). This also means no condensation.

Although the fluxgate compass will operate accurately up to angles of 20 degrees either side of vertical the unit should be mounted vertically to allow it to operate effectively when the boat heals during normal sailing conditions. 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.
