Jim,
I bought a Nexus 70 UNE (made by Silva)
handbearing/steering compass. It is lighted (red
light) by built in batteries and can be mounted
vertically or horizontally (even upside down) by a
small bracket. I attached the bracket a small block of
teak, and then connected that block to an identical
block with SS bolts, using wing nuts on the ends of
the bolts opposite the heads. I can mount the
contraption to the top of the lower hatch board or the
vertical section of the companionway slide of my new
little M15 ("Spirit") by sandwiching either the hatch
board or the slide with the teak blocks and tightening
up on the wing nuts to keep it all in place. For use
as a bearings compass, you just pull the compass
itself out of its little bracket. Ron Casino--- Jim Sadler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What are you skippers using for a compass? Are you > mounting it flush next > to the companion way?
