To my northern sailors where the temps go below freezingdoes anyone
take their compass off the boat over winter? Southern sailors can chime
in words of wisdom as well.
I read somewhere it should be to avoid the stress on the seals but I
have never done it and my old compass works. It was
Been sailing 35+ years, 3 different boats. Sailed in NB, NS and ON. I have
never removed a compass.

Good morning.,
I don't take mine off but we store the boat next to the water so
temperatures aren't too extreme (compared to inland).
The compass on a friend's C&C 35 Mk.1 developed a bubble one winter a few
years back. We refilled in in the spring with 'Stoddard solvent' (Varasol)
and it has be
Here in Maryland we are getting below freezing nights already. In the 7
years I've owned the boat I have not removed the compass during winter.
The compass is filled with mineral oil. Remember that water is defies the
natural laws of thermodynamics in that it gets progressively less dense as
its
My vote is to leave the compass on the pedestal. These things can handle the
cold. When I bought our boat in 2002, the compass had a bubble, so I took to a
guy who replaced the fluid and seals. He said removing the compass was not
needed. Cover the compass to protect from rain water gettin
I'm going to depart from the consensus. I remove my compasses for the
winter. I started doing so after a large bubble developed on the compass on
my 34. I had Viking do a rebuild and began removing the compass for winter
storage thereafter. No bubbles after that. I suppose if it were diffic

Saw your comment about water. I was taught that water freezes at 32 degrees
but goes through a morph around 26 degrees where it expands dramatically in a
one time shock event. That's when water pipes burst. The expansion is a shock

In 2006, my boat was trucked from Wisconsin. After launch, I noticed
the Ritchie compass was not reacting normally (slow to adjust to changes
in direction). Took it to have it checked out. Repair guy took it
apart and replaced a broken spring (he said, I really don't know what he
did) and he

Now the seals are a little bit different story. They could contract in
accordance with the normally expected properties of other normal
substances. Naturally this could cause leaks. I was thinking that the
fear was frozen liquid expanding, causing a cracked lens.

I also remove my large hatch cover (32” x 32”). After replacing the lens a few
years ago, we had a stretch of –15 F temperatures for two or three days, and
the aluminum contracted so much that the lens was pushed out. It settled back
in when the temperature rose, but the seal was shot.

I failed to note that the Viking repair person also commented that the seal
failed on my 34 compass due to the cold temperature.

You need to move over to my side – we haven’t even got close to freezing on the
Shore.
Anyway, my 1973 compass has NEVER been stored inside or removed and generations
of airplanes sit outside all winter and their compasses don’t freeze either.

Yikes! As a physicist, I just have to cry out and say that this statement is
wrong.
Yes, water is unique in that it expands as it changes phase from liquid to
solid.
But the expansion occurs because of the laws of thermodynamics not despite it.

Actually water starts to expand as the temperature drops to about 39 degrees F.
The rate of expansion is initially moderate, but increases significantly as the
temperature of the ice drops below about 20 degrees F.

Sorry Paul, just to be clean you are not challenging the property to which
referred but just the name, correct? I didn't referance the internet for
the proper name of the property. What the correct name?

This is a good explanation: http://www.iapws.org/faq1/freeze.html
Now if only someone can explain why Scotch over ice seems to always
disappear entirely leaving only small cubes of ice.

Water expands at temps below 4 degree C due to hydrogen bonding. What law
of physics applies?

Given how hard it was to get my compass off when I had the pedestal
painted, I don't think my compass has been off for a winter except for
that one. No bubbles, works perfectly.

Greetings all,
I recall a few weeks ago that someone was asking about the faucet for a C&C
30-2. I just found this one which looks like it is an original.
