Rain, fog and darkness no match for Ritchie Compass
Landmarks are a convenient way to find one’s way around lakes, rivers and coastal areas. But when rain, fog or darkness hide visual references and reduce motoring speed, the RitchieAngler magnetic compass from Ritchie Navigation is a simple way to navigate back home. Plus, it does something a GPS cannot: display vessel direction when stopped or moving slowly.
Made in the USA, the 70mm high-visibility blue direct-read dial of the RitchieAngler has bright white heading letters, 30° numbering and 5° divisional marks. A yellow lubber line provides easy reference from a distance. The dial spins on a scientifically matched sapphire jewel that’s set atop a hardened steel pivot movement for smooth operation, even in choppy conditions. Powerful DirectiveForce™ magnets ensure the heading display is fast and precise, while built-in compensators adjust for deviation when installed on or near metal.
The housing of the RitchieAngler is made from a durable no-glare gray polymer. A movable sun shield and integrated 12V green internal illumination make the compass useful no matter the conditions. A red lamp is optionally available, as are models wired for 6V and 24V.
The RitchieAngler is offered in two styles. Version RA-93 surface mounts and features convenient push-button removal for quick storage and safeguarding. It measures 92mm x 100mm x 72mm. The RA-91 compass comes with a bracket with easily adjustable thumbscrews to optimize the installation angle. It’s 120mm x 113mm x 135mm. Backed by Ritchie Navigation’s five-year warranty, they’re 100% repairable.
