Its 2-3\/4 inch (70mm) direct-read dial delivers a clear, easy-to-scan heading at a glance, while built-in compensators let you fine-tune the compass to cancel out your boat's own magnetic influences after installation. A high-temperature composite construction keeps the housing stable in the heat and vibration of a working helm, and built-in 12V green night lighting keeps the dial legible after dark. Backed by Ritchie's 5-year warranty, the Explorer S-53 is a proven, no-fuss primary or backup compass for center consoles, runabouts, and small cruisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Ritchie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer Part Number: S-53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Line: Explorer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial Size: 2 3\/4 inches (70mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial Type: Direct-Read Dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Type: Surface Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Lighting: 12V Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompensators: Built-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Plastic (High Temperature Composite Construction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Dimensions: 6 inches L x 6 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5-Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes \u0026amp; Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Explorer S-53 is available in two dial colors: Black or White.
