Ritchie S-53W Explorer White Surface Mount Compass

The Ritchie S-53W Explorer is a surface-mount compass with a compact, low-profile design, built around a 2 3/4-inch direct-reading dial for boats where a flush cutout isn't practical.

A quick push-button release pulls the compass module free of its base for storage or added security when the boat is left unattended, rather than leaving it exposed and removable only with tools. Internal green night illumination keeps it readable after dark, and built-in compensators handle local deviation.

A scientifically matched sapphire jewel and hardened steel pivot keep the dial movement smooth, backed by powerful DirectiveForce magnets for a fast heading lock. It's 100% repairable and covered by Ritchie's exclusive 5-year warranty, in white. See what else we carry in marine compasses.
