[C320-list] compass fluid gone!

[Doug Treff]

Nat,

When I bought September Song this year, all the fluid was gone from her 
compass. I took it out and went to a place here in Annapolis, MD called 
J. Gordon who fixed it for about $200. They also reconditioned the whole 
thing including a new dome. Cheaper than buying a new one by far!

Looks like Baker Marine in San Diego should be able to fix yours:

Today after coming back from a relaxing afternoon sail out of San Diego bay as I put the cover on the binnacle and wheel, I noticed that the compass card was askew and all the fluid had disappeared! No guess as how that could have happened. Are we budgeting for a new compass? Anyone have a similar experience? Thanks, Nat
