Ritchie F-50 Explorer Compass – Flush Mount – Black – F-50

Navigate with confidence using the Ritchie F-50 Explorer Compass, a dependable flush-mount marine compass designed for recreational powerboats and other vessels requiring a compact, easy-to-read heading display. Featuring a 2-3/4" (70 mm) direct-reading dial, the F-50 provides clear heading information while integrating neatly into the helm or instrument panel.

Designed for straightforward installation, the Ritchie F-50 fits a 3-3/4" (95 mm) mounting hole and features a durable black housing with a black dial. Its flush-mount configuration provides a clean, professional appearance that complements a wide range of marine helm layouts.

For dependable navigation after dark, the Explorer F-50 includes internal green night illumination and comes standard with 12V lighting. Built-in compensators allow the compass to be adjusted for deviation caused by onboard magnetic influences, helping provide more accurate heading information.

At the heart of the F-50 is Ritchie's scientifically matched sapphire jewel and hardened steel pivot dial movement, combined with powerful DirectiveForce magnets for fast heading lock-on. A movable sun shield helps improve visibility in bright conditions, while high-temperature composite construction provides durability across demanding marine operating environments.

The Ritchie F-50 is also 100% repairable and backed by Ritchie's 5-year warranty, making it an excellent choice for new installations or replacement of an existing flush-mounted marine compass.
