I am building a "Expedition" yak, but am having problems with how to mount a recessed compass (Brunton 70P) in the bow of the deck like the british glass boats are done, any ideas?  I am wanting to keep it waterproof.  Also looking for some place to get custom neoprene deck covers made to put under my hatch lids?  PLEASE HELP Thanks ---

I built a compass recess into the deck of my Outer Island.  There's details of the construction on my site ([http://www.blueheronkayaks.com](http://www.blueheronkayaks.com/))  Ross ![compass recess](http://www.blueheronkayaks.com/kayak/oi/compassRecess20.jpg)
