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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ritchie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e K-TD.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kayaker Tie-Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deck Mount (no-drill surface mount)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 inches L x 7 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompass Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e No (compass sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ritchie K-TD.2 Kayaker Tie-Down is designed for mounting the Ritchie XP-99 Kayaker compass to a kayak deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Ritchie K-TD.2 Kayaker Tie-Down used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a no-drill surface mount used to attach a Ritchie XP-99 Kayaker compass to a kayak deck without drilling any holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the K-TD.2 come with a compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the compass is sold separately.
