can anyone direct me to a recessed compass to use on a 1984 montauk. The original compass was missing from the boat I am restoring. Thanks!!

A compass was optional.
What do you consider the "original compass" was on this boat?
Any photos?
Both compasses in the 1984 Price List and Option catalog for a Montauk show:
1. Ritchie Navigator Deck mount = $260
2. Ritchie Explorer Deck mount = $60
No surface or recessed mounts are shown as an option for Montauk.
Please advise.

When I purchased the boat there was an opening on the console. The seller said that there was a compass there, but it broke and was removed. That is really all I know. From the appearance of the hole, I assumed that it was a recessed compass. I am just trying to find one close to "original" that I can install where the current cut out is. I truly do not know if the compass that he was referring to came on the boat in
1984 or if it was installed at a later date. Thanks for your help!!

Hard to say as any compass in the world could have been in there as it was NOT original from the factory.
Good Luck.
