I am very new to this kayak sport and I have noticed that many
kayakers add compasses to their kayak.....is this an over
kill....where does one expect to go where they would need a
compass.....Don't get me wrong, I love the whole thing because I just
bought a CapeHorn 170 and mounted a Richie compass on it and it looks
really nice.....I just hope I don't get razzled on it...Jim

Don't rely on the compass when you know nothing about navigation
A friend of stowed his radio right beneath the compass, the magnet in the
speaker brought him way out of line.
