Are you asking a question or just telling us about your situation?

Marine devices output Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) that can cause inaccurate readings on nearby compasses. The safe distance for the Compass should be identified in your GPS manual.

If you have a (good) compass with adequate compensation abilities you may have a chance. Otherwise, there is nothing you can do about it.

Thank you for the reply I would try to move the compass but the top of cc is stainless steel and i don't have a way to cut a nice hole

Toss either the compass or GPS on a ram mount to move it up/over. This assumes you have some sort of hard top on your boat.
