Need some assistance with wrist boot for compass

[keb001]

I have a Genesis compass that I'd like to put in a wrist boot. I ordered a Sherwood/Genesis wrist boot but it doesn't work with my compass. I bought this particular compass 2001ish. Is there a wrist boot that will work with this compass? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Take a picture of the compass from the bottom so we can see the index marks.

Can you remove the compass capsule and the bezel from the bottom black plastic part and then insert/attach them to the wrist boot you purchased?

Based on the bezel of your compass it looks like you need the type of mount depicted below:

I don't think I can. The bezel and the black plastic function together.

I briefly looked for an online source and could not find one, but you should look to see if you can remove the compass capsule and bezel from the lower black plastic like I suggested above. If so you may find it will fit in the boot you have or one that is otherwise available.

I bought an "Oceanic" type wrist mount for an Aeris compass that looks like yours.

The Aeris was a direct replacement for the Oceanic compass that lost its fluid and fit the console boot as well.
