Also, while playing in the rock gardens and caves I feel better having the compass removed from the deck. Twice I have broken the compass mount which is secured to my boat. Thankfully I had removed the compass each time before attempting such lame brained maneuvers. I think, at least in my case, a compass which can be quickly removed from the deck and stored is the preferable option.
