Anyone replaced the Bulkhead compass ? Mine has started to leak and i am wondering what if anything covers the existing hole ? Hate to do it as I just don't use the thing , I have a digital compass but one should have the a low tech back up .

I replaced my compass last year with this item I found on clearance.

The new compass has a little bump on the bottom so I had to alter the bulkhead cutout a little. But otherwise it was a fit for me.

Thanks - I assume you had the factory one below the companionway ?

My compass is mounted in starboard vertical of the companionway with the knotmeter and depth gauge
