Overview

The Raymarine T005 is a Tacktick strap bracket for mounting the T060 Micro Compass, with fitment also commonly associated with the T061 Tacktick Micro Compass system. It is a practical replacement or spare bracket for sailors who want the compass held in a strap-mounted position without adding a larger fixed mount to the boat.

The bracket is lightweight, easy to fit and remove, and finished with bright paint that helps it stand out on deck or around the mast area. It suits racing dinghies, keelboats, and other sailboats using the Tacktick Micro Compass where quick removal, simple access, and clean positioning matter.

Key features

• Made for the Tacktick T060 Micro Compass, with known use on the T061 Micro Compass system.
• Strap bracket format supports a clean installation where a permanent hard mount is not wanted.
• Lightweight construction helps keep added hardware to a minimum on small boats and performance-focused sailboats.
• Easy to fit and remove, which is useful when the compass is taken off the boat between races or after sailing.
• Bright painted finish makes the bracket easier to see during setup, removal, and deck checks.
• Strong construction supports regular handling in a marine environment with vibration and movement underway.

Installation and use

This bracket is intended for installations where the Tacktick Micro Compass needs to be secured with a strap rather than a bulky fixed base. It is commonly used around the mast area, where the compass can stay visible to the helm and crew while keeping the mounting hardware simple.

Before installation, check that the mounting position gives the compass a clear viewing angle and does not interfere with sheets, halyards, sail controls, or crew movement. As with any compass-related hardware, keep the mounting area clean and avoid placing it near equipment that could affect compass readings.

Compatibility and fit

This is a fit-specific bracket for Tacktick Micro Compass use, not a universal battery hold-down or general-purpose strap mount. Match it to the T060 Micro Compass or a compatible T061 Tacktick Micro Compass system before ordering, especially when replacing missing hardware from an older instrument setup.

Use cases on board

This bracket is a good match for sailors maintaining a Tacktick compass setup on racing dinghies, sportboats, and sailboats where the instrument is removed for storage or transport. It also works well as a spare bracket for teams that move equipment between boats or want a backup mounting piece in the gear kit.
