Raymarine Small Cradle f/Micro Compass - Mid Grey Product Description
Enhance Your On-Water Navigation with Precision Mounting
Picture this: you're out on the water in your kayak or small craft, wind picking up, and you need a reliable heading at a glance. The Raymarine Small Cradle in mid grey steps in as the perfect partner for your Micro Compass, offering a secure, low-profile mount that keeps your navigation tool steady and accessible. Crafted from durable marine-grade materials, this cradle blends seamlessly with modern deck aesthetics while standing up to saltwater splashes and UV exposure.
Key Features That Stand Out
- Compact Design: Tailored specifically for the Micro Compass, it minimizes bulk on tight spaces like kayak decks or tiller rails.
- Mid Grey Finish: A sleek, non-reflective color that reduces glare and matches neutral boat tones for a professional look.
- Quick-Release Mechanism: Snap your compass in and out effortlessly for storage or transport without tools.
- Robust Construction: Engineered to withstand vibrations, impacts, and harsh marine environments season after season.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Adhesive or screw-compatible base adapts to flat surfaces, curved rails, or custom setups.
Why Boaters and Anglers Swear by This Cradle
It's not just a holder—it's your gateway to stress-free navigation. Kayak anglers report catching more fish by maintaining a consistent course through currents, while sailors use it to monitor headings during tacks without fumbling. The cradle's stability prevents compass wobble, ensuring readings accurate to within a degree even in choppy conditions. Plus, its lightweight build won't throw off your boat's balance, making it ideal for solo paddlers or lightweight dinghies.
Real-World Applications
From coastal cruising to competitive racing, this cradle elevates your setup. Pair it with the Micro Compass for a heads-up display that rivals larger systems, all without the clutter.
Simple Setup for Immediate Use
Getting your cradle ready takes minutes. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly, apply the included marine adhesive for a no-drill install, or use screws for a permanent hold. Align the compass slot precisely, snap in your Micro Compass, and calibrate as per the compass manual. Pro tip: Test in calm water first to fine-tune positioning for optimal viewing angles—typically at eye level for standing or seated operation.
- Choose your spot: Forward deck, console edge, or rail.
- Prep surface: Wipe with isopropyl alcohol.
- Attach base: Press firmly for 60 seconds.
- Secure compass: Hear the satisfying click.
- Verify: Power on and check for level readings.
Keep It Performing Like New
Longevity comes from smart care. Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater outing to fend off corrosion. Avoid high-pressure washes that could loosen bonds. In off-season storage, detach the compass and store the cradle in a dry, shaded spot. Inspect seals annually—if any wear shows, a quick silicone refresh restores waterproofing.
