Detailed description

Designed for reliable and durable integration, the Raymarine T004 deck bracket is an essential mounting bracket for the Raymarine Micro Compass. This bracket allows for a fixed and secure installation of the compass on a horizontal surface, ensuring stability and accuracy in navigation.

Installation and Accuracy

Installing the T004 bracket requires the use of four non-magnetic screws, sized appropriately for your vessel to prevent structural damage. Once the bracket base is drilled and screwed to the deck, applying a sealant is necessary to ensure a perfect waterproof seal. The bracket then becomes a permanent installation on the deck. It is imperative that the compass is mounted with a maximum tilt of 20° from vertical, without any heel to port or starboard, to maintain its accuracy. Additionally, to avoid magnetic interference, the compass must not be installed within 0.6 meters (2 feet) of magnetic objects, including a conventional compass.

Compatibility and Positioning

The T004 is a dedicated accessory, specifically designed for the Raymarine Micro Compass. It provides a fixed mounting solution, in contrast to portable supports or recessed integration solutions that may be available for other instruments. This type of bracket is ideal for sailboats where constant and accurate reading of an external compass is crucial, especially in regattas where every degree of heading matters. It ensures that the Micro Compass is always positioned optimally for easy and reliable reading.

« Raymarine T004 bracket: optimal mounting for the Micro Compass »

The T004 deck bracket is a key component for users of the Raymarine Micro Compass, particularly those seeking a stable and repeatable mounting solution. Its design for permanent attachment to a horizontal surface meets the requirements of regatta or light cruising sailboats where the Micro Compass is an essential instrument.

The most critical aspect of installation lies in the choice of non-magnetic screws and the application of marine sealant. Using inappropriate screws can compromise compass accuracy by introducing magnetic deviations. Similarly, insufficient sealing may lead to water ingress and long-term structural damage. The Micro Compass’s simple clip system makes installation and removal straightforward, which is practical for safety or instrument storage.

It is essential to respect the 20° tilt tolerance relative to vertical and the minimum 0.6 m distance from any magnetic source. Failure to follow these guidelines will negate the benefits of a precision compass. This bracket is therefore a wise choice for those prioritizing the performance and reliability of their Micro Compass in demanding marine environments.

How to install the Raymarine T004 deck bracket on my boat?

Installing the Raymarine T004 deck bracket is designed to be a permanent fixture. Here are the main steps:

Choose a horizontal mounting surface.Drill the bracket base and secure it firmly to the boat using four non-magnetic screws. Ensure the screw size is appropriate to avoid damaging components beneath the mounting surface.Apply a sealant to the bracket to seal it to the boat, ensuring a watertight fit.Once installed, simply clip your Raymarine Micro Compass into the bracket for each sailing session.

Which types of screws are required to mount the T004 deck bracket?

To mount the T004 deck bracket, you need four non-magnetic screws. It is essential to select a screw size suitable for your vessel to avoid damaging parts of the boat located beneath the mounting surface.

Is the T004 deck cleat a permanent installation on the boat?

Yes, once the T004 deck cleat is drilled and screwed to the boat, and the sealing process is completed, it becomes a permanent installation on the deck. The Raymarine Micro Compass can then be easily clipped and unclipped from this cleat.

What are the tilt conditions to be respected for the compass mounted on the T004 bracket to ensure its accuracy?

For the compass to maintain its accuracy, it must be mounted with a maximum tilt of 20° relative to vertical. There must be no heel to port or starboard. Compliance with this requirement is critical for reliable readings.

Are there any objects to avoid near the T004 bracket to prevent compass interference?

Yes, to avoid any magnetic interference that could affect your compass accuracy, the T004 bracket must not be installed within 0.6 meters (2 feet) of magnetic objects. This includes a conventional compass, which is itself a magnetic object.

Which compass model is the T004 deck bracket compatible with?

The T004 deck bracket is a dedicated accessory and is specifically designed for the Raymarine Micro Compass. It provides an optimal fixed mounting solution for this compass model.

What is included in the T004 deck cleat package?

The T004 deck cleat package contains the T004 deck cleat itself. Mounting screws and sealant are not included and must be purchased separately.

On which type of surface should the T004 deck bracket be mounted?

The T004 deck bracket is designed to be mounted on a horizontal surface. It is essential to choose a stable and flat location on your boat's deck to ensure correct installation and compass accuracy.
