Morning all :)
We've got a 1999 Bavaria 34 with the original Suunto compass which has reached it's end of life. Am looking at replacing it with (possibly) a Silva 125FTC...
I've seen a few posts on here with others who have changed out the original compass, but I can't see that anyone's done it on a Bav 34.
Has anyone done this?
Cheers
All models from that era used the same compass, so it is not 34 specific. I replaced the one on my 2001 37 with a Danforth because that is what was available in the right size where I was located at the time. The basic size was the same but the hole spacing for the fixing screws was different so needed new holes. Otherwise straightforward swap.
Ah thanks for that symphony2, that's good to know :tbu
I changed the compass on my 2000 B36 a couple of years ago with a Plastimo Olympic 115 which uses the same size hole and if I recall correctly the same screw hole positions.
Cheers Stevie, much appreciated mate
