It features a black plastic housing paired with a blue reading dial, giving helm-side navigation a clear, easy-to-read reference point. The compass card measures 3 11\/16 inches (93mm) in diameter, housed within an overall diameter of 3 3\/4 inches (95mm), keeping the footprint compact for smaller helm stations and dash layouts where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed of plastic for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, the V-537B weighs 0.81 pounds, making it a lightweight addition to any bulkhead or dash. It is part of the same Explorer compass line as the V-537W, which is the identical compass offered in a white housing instead of black, so boaters can match the compass finish to their helm color scheme without changing the mounting style or dial size. The V-537B is listed with an adjustable feature for the compass card. As a bulkhead-mount unit, it is not restricted to a particular boat make, model, or engine type, and can be installed on any flat mounting surface suited to its 3 3\/4 inch overall diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ritchie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-537B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Explorer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulkhead Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 11\/16 inches (93mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 3\/4 inches (95mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 010342161208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Part Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-537B (black), V-537W (white), V-537, V-53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Ritchie V-537B compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e The V-537B is a Ritchie Explorer series magnetic compass with a black plastic housing and a blue reading dial, designed for bulkhead mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the V-537B compass mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a bulkhead-mount compass, meaning it attaches to a flat vertical surface such as a dash panel or bulkhead rather than sitting recessed in a flush-mount cutout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the compass dial on the V-537B?\u003c\/strong\u003e The dial measures 3 11\/16 inches (93mm) in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the overall diameter of the V-537B compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e The overall housing diameter is 3 3\/4 inches (95mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the V-537B compass weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.81 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the housing material of the V-537B?\u003c\/strong\u003e The V-537B housing is made of plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the V-537B available in a different color?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the V-537W is the same Ritchie Explorer bulkhead-mount compass offered in a white housing instead of the black housing used on the V-537B.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the V-537B compass have any adjustable features?\u003c\/strong\u003e The V-537B is listed with an adjustable feature for the compass card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the V-537B fit any boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Since it is a bulkhead-mount compass rather than an engine-specific part, the V-537B is not tied to a particular boat make or model and can be installed on any suitable flat bulkhead or dash surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes with the V-537B compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e The V-537B ships as a single compass unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Ritchie V-537B compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the V-537B Explorer bulkhead-mount compass is 010342161208.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ritchie Compass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031282393307,"sku":"RIT-V-537B","price":117.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/71WoRgRhA7L.jpg?v=1785212524","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/ritchie-compass-v-537b-explorer-bulkhead-mount-compass-black-housing-blue-dial","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
