It makes a lot of sense to have some non-permanent mounting system for compasses, I guess, but the original post --- this time around, anyway --- seemed to want to avoid drilling holes or taking a permanent mounting solution. My VCP Pintail came with a deck mounted compass recess moulded into the foredeck, and is sized for the Silva (now Nexus) 70P compass. The unit mounts in the recess, is held in with four small stainless steel screws, and is substantially protected by the deck but is still easily viewable from the cockpit. Works as advertised --- and has for six years. Is there some magic in wanting the compass to be portable or movable --- other than the obvious advantage of swapping it between boats --- that offsets a solid, in-deck mounting? Maybe I'm missing something.
