Minnkota Heading Sensor Placement

I know there was another topic on this but couldn’t find it.

I know you aren’t supposed to put this near the main motor or the trolling motor or any ferrus metals.

Is it ok to place this right behind my graphs on the console?

The way I understand it is that it’s only a Bluetooth compass. It would be right next to my boats magnetic compass. Why wouldn’t this work? I already held them next to each other and my boat compass wasn’t affected.
Thx.

I put mine on the drivers side console just in front of my Graph with an external puck. Seems to work perfect so far. It’s within inches of my Graphs GPS puck, and only about 4 feet from my trolling motor. The jog feature is incredible!

I used a compass to check for deviation at the locations I considered. Sounds like you basically did that so you should be good. Make sure it is on a switched circuit so it doesn’t run your battery down.

Will do. I just wanted to make sure the graphs don’t cause any interference problems. This is the most convenient placement form me by far. It’s directly 12” above my accessory distribution block.

Can someone tell me if it shares the same mount points as the HB gps puck?

I removed mine a while ago and just put a rubber foot step over the top of the hole.

Nvm, i took the pad off. Covers the holes….does’t line up perfectly.
