: Don't know if anyone reads this thread anymore, but want to say Thanks Ross,
: because I just recieved my compass today. It is even better looking and
: higher quality than I had hoped and the price was great, think I would
: have been happy with this compass for $100. I liked the look of your
: recessed install, but don't like having a permanent "puddle"
: space built into my deck so I am letting that "simmer" in the
: back of my mind to see if an idea comes to me that I like better ....any
: non "puddle" install ideas out there ??? One thing I did notice
: was how heavy this compass was for such a small item. I can feel the high
: weight is due of the high quality construction, but I don't like the idea
: of hauling around another pound all the time for this compass when I am
: working so hard to keep he totoal weight down. Just one of those things
: that I will live with ... just want everything I guess, a great compass
: for less than $60 and very low wieght. Anyone know of a quality compass
: that does not weigh so much??

I am still reading this thread and am thinking of installing the same compus later on. Thanks for the product report.
