Peel & stick gasket also has a comically strong adhesive that leaves you almost destroying the flimsy foam gasket while trying to peel & stick it.Thought about returning it, but any other options cost easily twice as much. Will see how long it lasts but I'm not expecting too much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good compass-incomplete information *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on July 5, 2014* The Ritchie XP-99 is a nice looking compass with a rotating bezel which you can adjust to set your heading and compensate for declension. Once the base is mounted you can remove the compass itself for safekeeping.Nice unit. However....One star off for the following issues....In searching for a compass for my Wilderness Systems Kayak, I did a lot of reading here and on the Web. While the listing on Amazon says no back light, the Ritchie website and other places say there is one available, but no one listed it for sale.I called Ritchie and ordered it, figuring it would integrate nicely with the XP-99, and clip in or whatever when you removed the compass from the base. What arrived in the mail was a tiny LED on the end of a double wire, and a sketchy illustration of how to mount it to the compass.It does not fit.Worse, There is no place for batteries or any provision for mounting them. No clue as to how to hook it up to power, or what source. I suppose I would have to tape one, or make one by drilling holes in my composite boat--No idea provided on what size, voltage or amperage required.So while it seems to be a nice sturdy, and well designed unit, don't purchase if, like me, yo were hoping for some type of illumination. ### ⭐⭐ Must be used around platic only. Too sensitive to metal. *by M***H on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on November 28, 2015* It's made for a kayak exclusively. You can't get it even near any metal. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/9138949-ritchie-xp-99-kayaker-compass-surface-mount](https://www.desertcart.in/products/9138949-ritchie-xp-99-kayaker-compass-surface-mount) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
