RE: [Paddlewise] compass mounting

I have the same mount in my Nordkaap and have used marine 3M fastener (a
plastic Velcro-like plastic tape) material to affix the plastic mount to the
boat. I am able to move my Silva between my Nordkaaps in seconds. I use a
thin piece of mini cell under the compass ball to take up the slack.
