   A friend has asked me about mounting a compass to his boats deck by
simply 
gluing the base in place with epoxy. For some reason he has an aversion to 
drilling holes in his deck. He doesn't really do any hair boating which
might 
stress the deck, so I don't see any reason why he can't just glue the base
in 
place. Am I wrong?

Thanks for the second opinions,

For a large area (about 8 square inches), I have found that silicone
adhesive holds well, and it has the further advantage that it can be
removed, if necessary.
