The compass on my 2000 is wasted,   The one on it now says Cruiser and it's a flush mount , looks original to the boat.  Anyone know where I can find with the same screw pattern?

Because of the way the windshield is angled I can't drill new holes .  A direct replacement might not be possible so i was thinking of just covering the whole because I have a gps unit on the boat and on my phone and everybody else's phone that rides on the boat 
I am a new boater with my first boat,  thats why some of my questions seem dumb

    I don't have a pic of it. But can get one tomorrow.   Not sure how to post a pic here,  I can text it to you 
       It has 4 mounting screws  if that helps.

    If you can't find an original replacement make a base that will accept the old pattern then screw the compass to the new base. You can screw the compass on the base before you install it.
