I am moving my compass to the other side if the boat as my i50/i60 screens are going there. The PO "mounted" it with adhesive caulk which, came off easily enough thankfully. So there are no nylon bolts for it. I am thinking they are #6 from my attempts to size the hole with a gauge. Can someone confirm the bolt size? My Google-Fu is failing me even with the Platismo documentation and their website.

Thanks!

I don't know the size but brass or bronze screws should also be non-magnetic and available in your local hardware store.

FYI, M4/#8. And you would be surprised how difficult they are to find...... well, I can find them, just paying the same price for shipping as my complete order doesn't make much sense to me.

Our local ACE hardware has them in stainless.

As per Platismo documentation, use nylon, brass, or bronze. Stainless probably interferes with the compass. They ship with nylon.
