Dale. There's absolutely no reason why your bubble should coincide with the sea horizon or why the mirror in your bubble unit should be parallel with your horizon mirror. In fact, it would be strange if it was unless your index mirror is positioned directly above your horizon mirror, which it wont be. I'm in TIKI at the moment fitting out. Touch nothing for the moment until I get home to a decent keyboard tomorrow and explain why you're probably worrying unnecessarily. Dave P
