In Response To: Compass Recess Location (Brian Nystrom)

: Ross,

: One caveat about the recessed compass: I'd suggest that you mount it within
: easy arm's reach, as VCP does. I've had the recess on my Nordkapp fill
: partially with sand (and even with snow and slush once), obscuring the
: compass. If it was mounted far forward like some people like to do, the
: only way to clear it would be to roll the boat. I prefer to avoid doing
: that since the ocean temp around here is currently 35-38 degrees.

: If you're considering a knee tube in the cockpit, perhaps your could recess
: the compass into it?
This may be a dumb question, but what's a knee tube?
