I agree with Peter about deck mounting and removable but another
important point is try and have your deck mounted compass as far forward
as your eyesight will allow. This makes it much easier to be glancing at
your compass while still paddling towards a bearing. Its also easier to
take a bearing with it well forwards. Mine (Sailor II) has very large
numbers (drops off the last digit IE 270 is just 27) and is a long way
forward.
