: I meant to post this information earlier, but it slipped my mind. Thanks for
: reminding me.

: The VCP compass recess is made to fit the Brunton Nexus 70P compass. This is
: the compass that GRO sells for $93 (last catalog I checked). I did some
: poking around the net and found a place that had it for the outrageous
: price of $52.99. I called - they didn't have it in stock and it was going
: to take 3 weeks to get it in. Since I was in no hurry, I ordered it. I had
: the compass in about 2.5 weeks.

: The place is called American Outdoor Sports, and I've added the link to their
: Brunton page below. Their online catalog is pretty sparse, so all you'll
: see is the price.

: I used the dimensions from a spec sheet on another site (
: http://www.pyacht.com/nexus_70p_marine_compass.htm ) to start working on
: the recess before the compass arrived.

Thanks Ross for all of your information on this compass. I have it bookmarked and printed out. I will wait until I have my deck fiberglassed before I make a firm decision to buy and to see how you come along with your recess.
Thank you,
John
