Default Cig Compass

My compass lost all the fluid. Does anybody know where I could send it to get refilled and hopefully sealed right so no more leakie! ?

Thanks

Go to a good marine store and ask for compass fluid.
I took mine apart to have it painted.
There is a large Oring that seals the glass and a small Oring for the fill hole.

I did not need to replace either Oring.
The compass workes fine.

I had the same problem. I sent mine to Maryland Nautical, they rebuilt the entire compass for $150. There is a diaphram that needs to be replaced or if you try and refill it it will just leak out again. 1-800-951-5123. Ask up front how long it will take because mine took a month.

For $150.00 I will repair it. +shipping of course.
It is not rocket science.
