Hi folks, I've decided to get the Tacktick T909 compass transducer and I'm wondering where in the boat many of you have mounted it. I understand it needs to be away from ferrous metal and should be on the center line of the boat. I also understand the more the compass is protected from pitch and yaw the more accurate the reading.

Unfortunately the mast and a bunch of electrically charged wires that run through it would likely be too close to the ideal mounting position above the doorway in the head. So I'm thinking underneath the V-berth might be the next logical spot.

I'm sure some of you have this instrument mounted. I'd be curious where you mounted it and how it is performing.
