Ritchie K-TD.2 Kayaker Tie-Down for XP-99 Compass, No-Drill Surface Mount

The Ritchie K-TD.2 Kayaker Tie-Down is a no-drill surface mount designed for mounting the Ritchie Kayaker compass to a kayak deck without putting a single hole in the hull. Instead of screws or drilled fasteners, the tie-down uses a flexible pad and foam ring that easily conform to the shape of the deck, so it seats securely on curved or uneven kayak surfaces without scratching the finish. This makes it a practical option for kayakers who want a stable, removable compass mount that will not compromise the integrity or appearance of the deck.

The K-TD.2 is built as a surface-mount handbearing accessory and is made of plastic for a lightweight, portable, corrosion-resistant setup that will not add meaningful weight to the kayak. It ships as a standalone mounting accessory: the compass itself is not included and is sold separately, so the K-TD.2 is intended for kayakers who already own, or plan to purchase, a compatible Ritchie compass and need a deck-friendly way to attach it. Because it mounts without drilling, it is also easy to remove or reposition if the compass needs to come off the kayak.
