I just purchased an '85 28.5. There are only minor problems on the boat which I know how to remedy, except this: my pedistal compass is dry. What to do short of replacement?

Contact the manufacturer. They may be able to rebuild the compass for less than the cost of a new one.

Compass retrofit

Don't remember the brand, but replaced the compass on my 87 28.5 for about $45. The old one was "cloudy", faded, hard to read,etc. Bought mine during a clearance sale at a local West Marine and it was worth every penny. Personally, I think you'd be better off buying a new one.

Rebuild

Check with any reputable company that rebuilds compasses. My brother had his done last year (replaced the crazed dome/lens and it's just like new. Also a reasonable cost.
