: Hi John,

: Never heard of anyone mounting one under the deck, that's different :)

: You could also use the power for running lights, friend has them on his
: production boat using LED's mounted into commercial running light shells,
: pretty bright, good if you tend to paddle in areas with heavy powerboat
: traffic in the dusk when our kayaks virtually disapear.

: I just paddle really close to shore where they can't go :)

Hi Bill,

I have lots of room to put a compass under the deck in my short but high volume yak. And it's close to my eyes so I can see it better. Since it won't be used most of the time it will come out of the yak and stored away by unscrewing two bolts.

Ordered the Folbot pontoons yesterday. Very nice people to deal with and bargain prices. Even a 10% discount going on right now.

Diode running lights might be OK. Wouldn't take up much room and use little power.

John
