Need wiring info for fluxgate compass

starcrafttom

I have a fluxgate compass for my raymarine c80 that I have been meaning to install for a few years. This will allow over lay of radar on the c80 map. Does any one have a diagram of the way its wired to the unit? Its so old that Raymarine no longer has that info on line or am not able to find it.

Our compass is connected to the Raymarine autopilot course computer that is connected to our C80. I believe that the terminals are labeled as to where it hooks in. Also, The Raymarine forum has lots of good info on it. It is no longer open to new questions, but there is plenty of archived info that you can search.

Thanks doug. but thats the problem I dont have a auto pilot. So how does it connect to the c80 alone. Going to be in the boat today so will try to figure it out. Also have an AIS to hook up.
