In Response To: Compass Mount: Part A (jpg) (Pete Roszyk)

Pete, to get the proper fore/aft level, why not put the boat in the water? Temporarily hot glue your recessed disc in place, set boat in calm water (with you or an assistant seated in it), adjust compass with shims until level. Now that you have your level plane, remount your recessed disc. -Will
