Brain injury, Alan? The spring is just a lock. Pull it out, lift up on the hood of the compass and the whole compass will come up out of its base so you can store it below. That compass is way too good for a whaler. Wouldn't work anyways, small fast boats need a deadening mechanism to stabilize the magnetic card during violent motion. Get an electronic one, with a decent GPS you won't use it anyways.
