I did not get your picture, but I did the exercise myself with a raymarine st2000. I put the IMU on one end and the motor controller on the other end and have not experieced any interference so far. After all, these vendor's do the same thing themselves, don't they.
I documented my conversion in this thread. It's a lot of work to make it fit in!
Cheers,
Hi,
Picture here: http://guldburken.gote.org/maxi999/Autohelm_2000.png
And I've seen your conversion, pretty impressive but you have a lot more separation to work with I think.
But I agree the manufacturers do this themselves, and in my case the compass+the motor controller is indeed inside that box. But this old Autohelm 2000 system is all analogue, so perhaps that makes some kind of difference.
