Made from industrial neoprene, this gasket takes the hassle out of getting the 70P to fit in the misshaped compass recess of many composite and plastic kayaks.
This gasket is not meant as a water seal, it simply absorbs the differences between the shape of the compass recess and the shape of the compass for a better fit. It is possible to stack two of these gaskets.
70P Compass Gaskets are in two sizes–
STANDARD 1/16″ for most applications
THICK 1/8″ when a little extra is needed.
GASKET KIT includes blunt tipped screws and instructions. These screws are shorter and sized better for kayaks than the screws supplied with the compass.
Once installed, we recommend a dab of silicone on the tip of all screws.
Many of today’s popular sea kayaks have a recess on the bow, specifically for this compass.
If your shop offers kayaks from Valley Canoe Products, Wilderness Systems, Nigel Dennis or Necky Kayaks, the chances are you can offer this fine compass to your customers.
We sell a gasket (GASKET-70P) which is custom cut for the 70p which can improve the fit on some compass molds-sold separately.
