<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Alan,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I did not automate my oven, my engineer friend did by his insistence. Thank you for the compliment "technology channel" hahaha. I am not against electronics, just unnecessary electronics. There are professional people that can make it work like Triton and Nuytco. When you make a DIY sub complicated the reliability goes down hill. This applies to other things like cars and trucks. My next truck will be a fully restored 1997 GMC 4 by 4 because my new truck has non stop computer\ module problems. I deliberately operate older machinery because they just keep working. I see competitors with shinny new machines and they are always breaking down from electronic sensors failing. Then you pay big bucks for a teck to come out with his or her lap top to sort it out.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hank</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div>

brain fart), against the inside "roof" of the fiberglass shell, it works perfectly, as in no distortion at all. I now know where to mount a future more accurate fluxgate sensor as it appears to be far enough away from the hull and the main brackets that mount
the MBT to work as intended. I love easy solutions. I now see a way forward for a reliable means for nsvigation.</div>

<div style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);">Now as I am looking at used marine fluxgate compasses, it seems some of them are designed to feed an auto pilot. As I already have the parts to put an actuator on the rear thruster, all this has me
thinking: an auto pilot for Harold. Set the compass and let the actuator compensate for the heading. Since Marine components are reasonably robust no need for DIY solutions... and for quick turns I still have the side thrusters.</div>
