I have a Ritchie Explorer V57. nice small compass that fits the size of the boat. comes in white or black. the compass is mounted on the starboard cockpit/cabin bulkhead, up high near the companionway. i like having a compass, but i don't use it much as if i'm navigating i likely use the GPS. it is a good backup to have as a GPS will fail before the earth's magnetic field ;-) to see a picture scroll down to the third photo on this linked www-page - http://m17-375.webs.com/docktonjuly09.htm another option is a hand bearing compass that you can also mount on the boat. a nice model is the Plastimo Iris 100. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Tue, 12/4/12, Karen Saville <karen.saville@yahoo.com> wrote:
Where is the best location for mounting a compass on a Montgomery 17? Type? We are thinking about a bulk head dual read card compass. At our local lake there is a Seaward Fox that has a compass on the port and starboard bulk head.
