Drummer Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Does anybody have a compass mounted in their flats boat console? I would prefer to avoid making a huge hole so a bracket mount comes to mind. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernWake Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I have a smaller Ritchie compass the mounts with 2 small screws on top. That being said I've never had to use it and want to remove it to clean up the console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Well, there you go. Buy SouthernWake's compass, and mount it on your dash with adhesive caulk. No holes and it won't come off unless you hit it with a baseball bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernWake Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Agreed, i will remove it from the console but keep it in the boat somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Really need one I can see when running the boat. If anybody has one they really like I would appreciate a tip. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I like Ritchie Powerdamp flat card compasses. They stay stable in rough water and a flat card compass is more intuitive compared to a direct read compass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
