Thank you for the change!

I drilled holes through the middle of my forward hatch cover and mounted 
mine there (a SuuntoPilot - all I could afford at the time). I have 
little useful deck area and didn't want the compass taking up the middle 
of it. Also, using the hatch cover makes it easy to remove when 
transporting the kayak, and gives me the option of using a different 
hatch cover and leaving the compass at home when I don't need to take it.
