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. >> I have the same one and just love it. I made a mount out of a couple of AOL CDs that I drilled holes in to make a firm base and then carved a mount out of foam with a lip that holds in the CD and glued in shock cord with hooks to attach the thing to the boat. It works great and stays put, as some don't. I have it far forward but even my aging eyes can read the large numbers.
