: Hi Gene, : I just got my compass, the same , 70P for my Romany 16. I went out and got : 4 # 4 machine screws 3/4" for the nut, with #4 washers and a nylon nut also : a #4. I also got the # 4 machine screw 1/2" to minimize the steel to the : compass if the 3/4" are too long. The screws that came with the compass are : #4 1/2". I had to search around town for the #4 hardware but was very lucky : to find them. I'll use a marine glue for the drill holes. I think the : drill holes will be 7/64. I would not go up to a #6 hardware. As crazy as : it may seem; its more steel to the compass. I was thinking of going without : the washers to keep steel away form the compass. It's not difficult to find machine screws in 316 stainless, which is pretty close to non-magnetic (but not perfect; anybody had a problem with stainless screws upsetting a compass?). -Ken : On the Romany 16, I drilled holes to move the rope cleat aft and no drips : with marine glue. : Good luck. : Steve : Wilmington, NC |
