Thanks
the dial is OK, but the whole pull-out thing, high profile won't work for me. I can't imagine ever needing to take it out of the bracket, except to protect it from being knocked off- because it sticks up so much.

I found a site: http://www.thecompassstore.com/marine.html
It's got a lot of compasses, but the images are so small, it's hard to sort through.

: I like the Silva 70 because it can be used as a hand bearing
: compass, and it has a battery operated light (70 UNE model).
: Easily mounted, but you do have the pole sticking out behind it.
: Also try the Silva 58 Kayak for a flush-mount or clip-on version
: but it does not have a light.
