Ritchie RU-90 Voyager Compass, 3 Inch Blue Dial, Flush Mount, Black
The Ritchie Voyager RU-90 is a 3 inch flush-mount compass designed for small racing sailboats. It features a blue flat-card dial housed in a black finish, giving clear, easy-to-read heading information at a glance. The flush-mount design allows the compass to sit neatly into the helm or console for a clean, low-profile installation without protruding hardware. Built with a durable plastic housing, the RU-90 is sized for boats where deck space is limited but accurate heading reference is still essential. This compass does not include night lighting from the factory, but it is compatible with the Ritchie VL-100 light kit for those who want to add illumination for low-light or nighttime cruising. Backed by a 5-year warranty, the Ritchie Voyager RU-90 is a straightforward, reliable navigation instrument for sailors who want dependable compass performance without unnecessary bulk.
