Olympic Plastimo 135 Compass

Post by Mark.Wilme »

Want to let everyone know that I happened upon a good deal on boat compasses.

My current compass (Olympic Plastimo 135) had an air bubble and there was obviously a leak that had caused it. A rebuild was quoted at $120 plus anything that wasn't part of the normal rebuild kit and my travel or shipping time/cost and at the end I would have an "as new" 5 year old compass.

I found a new Olympic Plastimo 135 on Ebay - supplier provided quickly and it seems perfect. My cost with shipping was $95

It may not work on your boat but there's the info either way.
