Boat Compass
Well my compass has had a stroke even though it's level it's acting like it's at a 45 degree angle WTF I see some crackage but no fluid leakage It's been protected from SUN and any inpacts ? Did it get hot and implode? Or are my settings off?
any help will be taken with a grain of salt Link SR:shocked: |
Smack it around if that don't work take it out and shake it. or just get a new one.
If your handy you can take them appart. I fixed / swapped faces on one I have. I had two compases, Or do you say compi ? Anyways... I drained the mystery fluid into a clean container. opened it up and changed the face. Needles,. etc.. Then closed it back up and filled it up agian. Getting all the air out was tricky but doable I used a syringe to fill it up to the tippy top. I got some extra compas juice/mystery fluid whatever the heck it is inside there? if you need it. |
I had one do that once. I just rotated it slowly (end over end) and it fixed it. Don't know why, it just did.

Thank's for the info ,I have about 66 or so days to roll it around
till put it back in the boat I'll let you know how I make out. Link Sr. |

If you need him there is a compass repair/adjuster gy practically around the corner from me in Exeter RI. But if its a cheap compass you're probably better off just replacing it.
|
Danforth compass around 80.00$
|
Probably better off replacing it. It cost me more than that just to have seals fixed on my big C.Plath.
