When choosing a marine compass, you can consider things like:
Size: A larger compass is easier to read and more stable, which is important in rough conditions. Here's a rule of thumb:

• Small boats (under 20ft): A compass with a 2-3 inch diameter dial is generally sufficient. These are compact and easy to mount in smaller cockpits or helms.
• Medium boats (20ft - 35ft): A boat compass with a 3-4 inch diameter dial offers a good balance between size and readability.
• Large boats (over 35ft): For larger boats, a compass with a 4-5 inch diameter dial is recommended. This provides better visibility, especially from helms positioned further away.

Placement: The compass should be placed directly in front of the helm position with the lubber line parallel to the boat's centerline.
