Specific Model Instructions
Flush & Bulkhead Mount models
1. Using the Template as a guide cut a hole in a location that meets the Installation Requirements.
2. Before making your cut, make sure that there are no wires or objects of any kind behind where you
intend to drill or cut.
3. Route any light wires and connect them as specified. See Night Light Wiring.
4. Secure the Compass using non-magnetic fasteners. Make sure you follow the Surface Alignment
Guidelines.
Note: If you cannot access the compensation rods from below, allow for easy removal of the compass
during compensation.
Bracket, Deck and Surface Mount Models
1. Position the compass in a location that meets the Installation Requirements.
2. Route any light wires and connect them as specified. See Night Light Wiring.
3. Secure the Compass using non-magnetic fasteners or mounting pads. Make sure you follow the
Surface Alignment Guidelines.
Notes
• When installing a Bracket Mount model you may find it easier to remove and install the bracket first.
• When installing a D-55 or a Surface Mount model using non-magnetic fastener you will need to
remove the lower housing first. Please see the Disassembly Drawing that is included in your
instruction packet.
• When installing a compass using Adhesive Mounting Pads (not available on all models), temporarily
secure the base or bracket (masking tape works well) until after checking alignment (see
Compensation). After alignment has been verified, carefully mark the position and alignment of the
compass, lift it up, place the mounting pad (s) on the bottom and carefully place it back in the exact
position. The surface must be clean, dry and warm (above 60 degrees F, 15 degrees C).
Binnacle Mount Models
1. Partly disassemble the compass to access the mounting base. Please see the Disassembly Drawing
that is included in your instruction packet.
2. Position the mounting base in a location that meets the Installation Requirements
3. Route any light wires and connect them as specified. See Night Light Wiring.
4. Secure the Compass using non-magnetic fasteners & re-assemble the compass. Make sure you follow
the Surface Alignment Guidelines.
Notes:
Various adapters and mounting hardware may be required to mount your compass to a pedestal.
Please contact the pedestal manufacturer for the proper mounting procedure.
Do not loosen or remove the 8 or 10 screws nearest the dome. (Fluid will escape and damage your
compass.)
Binnacle Mount models have either slotted holes or a clamp built into the base to allow for easy A-
Alignment adjustments. If there is a clamp make sure it is tight before re-installing the housing.
