ComNav P4 Color Pack - Magnetic Compass Sensor & Rotary Feedback f/Yacht Boats *Deck Mount Bracket Optional

The ComNav P4 Color Pack magnetic compass sensor delivers reliable heading information for yacht and boat navigation systems where precision and integration matter. Built for serious boaters who demand accuracy in all conditions, this fluxgate compass sensor feeds real-time rotary feedback to your boat's autopilot, chartplotter, or navigation display. Whether you're running coastal passages or offshore deployments, accurate compass data is non-negotiable—this sensor eliminates the guesswork and keeps your vessel on course with repeatable, compensated magnetic heading output.

The P4 employs ComNav's proven fluxgate sensing technology, which automatically compensates for deviation and provides superior stability compared to mechanical compass cards, especially in rough seas or high-vibration environments. The color pack configuration integrates seamlessly with ComNav's modular electronics architecture, allowing you to mix display and sensor configurations without replacing your entire system. Rotary feedback output ensures smooth, continuous heading representation on compatible autopilots and navigation interfaces, minimizing lag and hunting typical of older on-off relay designs. The deck-mount bracket (sold separately) provides secure, weatherproof installation on your vessel's hardtop or console.

Yacht and trawler operators, particularly those upgrading legacy systems or retrofitting autopilot integration, benefit most from the P4's flexible mounting and modular design. The sensor pairs with ComNav's C-Quix autopilots, Timezero navigation software, and third-party systems supporting NMEA 0183 compass input, making it ideal for boats running mixed electronics. Installation requires basic familiarity with marine wiring and compass placement principles—mount away from large metal structures and electrical noise sources to achieve best performance. At 15.1 lbs, the sensor itself is compact and manageable; the optional deck-mount bracket simplifies topside installation and ensures the fluxgate element sits at proper orientation for accurate readings.
