Ritchie Explorer F-50 Flush Mount Compass - 2-3/4" Direct-Read Dial, White or Black
The Ritchie Explorer F-50 series brings dependable, easy-to-read heading information to helms of all sizes. Built around a 2-3/4 inch Direct-Read dial, this flush mount compass uses a sapphire jewel and hardened steel pivot for smooth, stable operation in rough water, and includes Ritchie's exclusive built-in green NiteVu lighting so you can read your heading day or night. Built-in compensators make it simple to correct for deviation caused by nearby electronics or metal fittings, and the high-temperature composite housing is backed by a 5-year, 100% repairable warranty. Designed primarily for flush mounting, each F-50 also ships with a surface mount option, giving installers flexibility without requiring a dash cutout. Choose the housing and dial finish that best matches your helm.

Sizes & Options
Both versions of the Explorer F-50 share identical dial size, mounting hardware, lighting, and construction; the only difference is finish. Pick White for a bright, traditional look that stands out against dark dash panels, or Black for a low-glare, modern finish that blends into black or dark-colored helms. Either way you get the same 2-3/4 inch Direct-Read dial and NiteVu lighting.
