Had the same problem on my Pygmy Osprey Std.  (same deck profile, I
think).  Took a PVC pipe cap (black was sexier than white, so I used
that) in the 4-inch diameter, and carved a notch in the open part to fit
the hull profile (easier than it sounds -- make a template).  Two holes
and a bungie with clips on each end fixed the pipe cap to the forward
padeyes of the deck bungie system.  Then I mounted an Aquameter II with
their hardware and the base that allows the A II to be snapped-on and
snapped-off to the upper, flat surface of the pipe cap.

Works as well as the hard-mounts on the decks of my FG rigs, which have
platforms for a compass, and nice to have the compass FORWARD of the
deck bungies and out of the way of the other junk I have under 'em
(chart, etc.).
