My binnacle compass stays onboard all winter long...it is a Danforth
compass...it has had a small bubble for many years but I live with that,
besides I hardly ever pay much attention to it...I use the digital heading
readings on my wheel pilot and my chartplotter whcih are mounted on the
binnacle guard more regularly.

I thought, however, that such compasses were filled with mineral spirits
but from what has been posted lately some it appears an alcohol mix is used
