Works fine. Fits nicely in the recess of my Tiderace Xcite. Installation relatively easy. My only complaint: When screwing in the provided self tapping screws (turning VERY slowly after drilling proper sized pilot holes) I heard a cracking noise, a half dime size piece of the finish gelcoat had chipped. Keep in mind this is a brand new, 2012 Tiderace. Not a happy feeling! Fortunately the damage is only cosmetic and can't be seen because it's hidden by the compass housing. Nonetheless Brunton needs to mention this possibility in their included instructions. I had no problems drilling the holes.

Great Compass. I replaced the mounting screws with stainless steel machine screws. The price was great and received the item very quickly. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Ideal kayak compass if you have the correct mounting spot. I used the screws supplied, but cut them to the right length and ground off the rough edges to prevent drybag damage.

GREAT compass, A life saver if you get caught in the fog. I replaced the mounting screws with machine screws and acorn nuts so my dry bags don't get ripped in the hatch.
