AP16 is a very old unit, and I don’t think it’s supported by Simrad anymore or available new anywhere. So it doesn’t “come” with anything. If it’s previously installed, then yes it needs a rate compass to function. Most often they’re mounted down low and close to center. In the forward bilge (not my choice) or inside one of the v-berth storage compartments are both common spots.
