Great! Thanks, I never thought about searching for the model number. I'm going to order one today. I just put in a large order to West Marine for several items to fit out, anchor, lines, handheld GPS and radio. Since my M15 won't arrive until after sailing season is pretty much over here in Indiana, we are thinking about taking it down to Pensacola FL in December.

I think I bought mine at Boat US before they merged with West Marine.
I do not know if they are discontinued or no longer imported.
Try googling for the model number, 70UNE and 70 UNE. I found the best price ($98) at:
Celestaire, Wichita, Kansas.

It shows up as a Brunton brand. Beats the heck out of me why they call it Brunton now in the States. I used Silva compasses for orienteering at summer camp when I was a small boy.
I knew there was another advantage to having a removable compass on the sliding hatch. Thanks for reminding me Doug.
