Boat rover skid steer Params

I appreciate all the help, I’m pretty much where I want to be as far as the params, I’m now focusing on the heading. 2 things I could use help understanding.

1. I cant do a compass calibration, either I dont know how or it doesnt work, I’m not sure. Is it called a Mag calibration now?

2. If I am going to tweak the heading. Do I add +/- to the z compass offset ? Is there a better way to adjust heading manually if the boat on the screen is not lined up with the actual boat?

This post presents what I believe is a simple, general, repeatable method to get a system configuration that’s useful for Ardupilot navigation. I am now using this as my base operating configuration for Rovers, and I recommend it at least as the baseline to start from for any system conf…

I would still like to know why my on board mag calibration does not work. There must be a param needed to be checked.
