Colorado Hi!

Any suggestions on how to install a racing compass without too much
damage?

Adi and Paul

Wayne,

Thank you for your information.

Hi Adi & Paul

There are several compasses that attach by either a couple of self tapping
screws, double-stick adhesive, or even bungees.

Check out:

Aquameter

Ritchie S-58W - Tactician (Surface Mount)

Brunton 58

Plastimo Mini-C compass

Suunto ORCA Compass

These are all horizontal surface mount. I assume you are looking to place
one ahead or behind the daggerboard. I have an inspection port just ahead of
the daggerboard and I'm seriously considering mounting a Tactician or Mini-C
right to the port's cover. If you choose a model that requires mounting
screws, don't forget to use non-magnetic Brass or Stainless Steel.

A common method is to install a 6 inch port, (you need one to
gaurantee the hull is dry anyway) and then install the compass in the
cover. You can get a extra cover to use when not around if you leave
the boat in an unsecured area.
