Joe--

I've got a Contest 101 compass, made by Plastimo. I bought it based on a Practical Sailor review. It's a bulkhead compass readable from cockpit or cabin, illuminated, and very easy to read from the tiller. It comes with a cover. Haven't used it enuff to offer a testimonial, but so far I like it.

Chris--the attachment didn't come through to me (at least). Happy Thanksgiving!

Joe attached is a copy of an email I copied some time ago about getting a
boat off the trailer.  It is addressed to a "Joe" could that be you?  I have
a Saturn bulkhead compass with a 3 ¾” dual reading lighted card.  It's
gotten me all over the place from Mexico to Canada just fine.  Installation
is easy, just follow the directions.  The back will protrude into the cabin.
I just finished it off with a Wal-Mart hand carved teak wooden bowl for a
couple of bucks.  If I would do anything over I would get one that can be
read from both sides of the bulkhead.  I mounted mine as far away from any
electronics as I could.  For my boat that was port side.

Hi friends: (and the rest as well)

     I have two questions:

1.  Would someone please suggest a good bulkhead mounted compass for our
boat? Hints on installation               would also be very nice.

2.  What is the best (that is easiest) way to get my boat off the trailer to
apply bottom paint?  I don't want to           buy jack stands if I can
avoid it.

Thanks, and Happy bird.
