The dial and housing are molded from plastic in a black finish, sized for a compact instrument panel or bulkhead installation. Internal gimbal systems keep the dial level and readable as the boat rolls and pitches underway. Built-in compensators are included, letting the compass be adjusted on the boat to correct for local magnetic deviation without adding external hardware. For low-light and night operation, the BN-202 has 12 volt amber LED lighting built into the dial, so the heading stays visible after dark without washing out night vision on deck. The mounting hole measures 5.75 inches (146mm), and the compass carries a 5-year warranty from Ritchie. Package dimensions for the BN-202 are 6.75 inches (H) by 7.25 inches (L) by 7.25 inches (W). This compass is intended as a primary steering compass for boats with a bulkhead or panel suited to a 4.5 inch dial and a 5.75 inch mounting hole, and is a straightforward upgrade or replacement for helms already fitted for a Ritchie Navigator-series bulkhead compass.\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 BN-202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5 inches (114mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e CombiDial with inclinometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNight Lighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 volt amber LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompensators:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGimbal System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal gimbal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulkhead mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75 inches (146mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.75 inches (H) x 7.25 inches (L) x 7.25 inches (W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches (L) x 7 inches (W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 010342150301\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the dial on the Ritchie Navigator BN-202?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BN-202 has a 4.5 inch (114mm) CombiDial, which combines a standard compass heading display with an inclinometer on the same dial face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the BN-202 compass light up at night?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Ritchie Navigator BN-202 has built-in 12 volt amber LED night lighting so the heading and inclinometer remain readable in low-light conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the BN-202 mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BN-202 is a bulkhead mount compass with a mounting hole diameter of 5.75 inches (146mm), designed to be installed into a bulkhead or instrument panel rather than surface- or dash-mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size mounting hole do I need to cut for this compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 5.75 inch (146mm) mounting hole is required to install the Ritchie Navigator BN-202 in a bulkhead or panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Ritchie BN-202 need to be corrected for magnetic deviation after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in compensators are included on the BN-202, allowing the compass to be adjusted on board to correct for local magnetic deviation without additional external hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color and material is the BN-202 compass housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BN-202 has a black plastic housing and dial assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Ritchie Navigator BN-202 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ritchie Navigator BN-202 weighs 3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the packaged dimensions of the BN-202?\u003c\/strong\u003e As packaged, the BN-202 measures 6.75 inches (H) by 7.25 inches (L) by 7.25 inches (W);
