Another compass note:  They are often mounted on bulkheads. When installing or 
troubleshooting have a good look on the back side of the mounting place for 
wires that can easily throw off the compass when energised by any device.

My fluxgate compass is mounted next to the port settee, close to the galley and 
near the boat's centerline.  If you have any iron/steel items near it, it will 
mess up your autopilot activity.  I also found that my vhf interferes with the 
autopilot.  Try turning off your VHF when troubleshooting it.
