My compass on my dash of my 232 is busted. Ordered a new one but was the wrong size.....any idea of the best place to pick up the correct replacement?

    The compass on my 232 was broken as well. Took the old one out and took it with me to west marine. I was able to find a replacement. The old unit had three screws, the new one had four. Drilled new holes, and dropped it in. I don't remember the model but let me know if you have any questions.

    If wrong size means too big, why not make the hole a little bigger to hold it?  If it's too small, maybe a collar make of Starboard would work.  Just some ideas.

    Yeah the one I got was to small for the existing hole. I sent it back and i am going to try to find the correct size at the boat show....

    I have 2004 232 and replaced my compass with a Ritchie F-50 Explorer (flush mount) a year ago. Fit hole perfectly but I think I had to drill new holes. Works great.
