Mounting Compass

[imported_ScottS]

I need to mount my Richie Tactician compass. Can I just predrill and screw stainless steel screws into the deck, or do I have to add an inspection port and put nuts on the back side. I might glue it rather than install an inspection port.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks.

I didnt drill any screws. I used 3M marine lock strips (hard plastic "velcro", like to mount EZ Passes to yourwindshield- can get at west marine) I cut 1X1cm squares, three of them, stuck them on the bottom of the compass, then stuck the compass to the deck... clean deck... never fell off...
