Default Where can I find these?
Hey guys


I have been trying to find these two exact backup instruments but had no luck!
They are both 2 1/4 in size, slip indicator and compass.

Is that just a normall compass and not a DG?

Cheers
AJ

The compass is a vertical card compass available from Spruce and other suppliers. The 2 small holes beneath it are there to adjust it when swinging the compass.

Default A boat inclinometer works
I have been very happy with this:

Industrial Lev O Gage 4 - Standard - qty: 1 price: $23.

from:

http://www.suncompany.net/prodList.php?subCat=8

It is nicely sensitive, easy to install, and doesn't take up an instrument hole. No relationship to the company, just a happy customer

The skid indicator is at Spruce. Would suggest that instead of inclinometer you use a Turn and Slip indicator instead.

The other instrument looks like a vertical card compass.
