[Paddlewise] Mounting a compass

I've noticed several theories about compass mounting for sea kayaks:

1) Don't mount - use a hand compass.
2) Mount it straight to the deck.
3) Mount a beveled or curved wood base to the deck, then mount the compass with a removable mount to the flat top of the wood base.
4) Use only bungies or straps for a completely removable mount.

I'm interested in opinions on this.
