what's with the compass on the bow?

Maybe it's just me, but anyone else think that big ol' compass mounted in the bow looks dumb? Actually, mine is missing and I was considering putting a motorized spotlight in its place. Will probably just buy a new compass to put in, but if anyone else has seen or done something else I am listening

put the compass back in, the spot light would dumb.just my 2 cents.

ok ok... guess I will try to find a good used compass... Not gonna drop $600 on something I will never use. Have a slip on the river. If I ever get confused as to which way upstream is, I can always use my GPS! lol
