Ritchie SportAbout X-11Y 2 Inch Dial Kayak Compass, Yellow, Lanyard Mount

The Ritchie SportAbout X-11Y is a 2 inch direct-read dial compass built for kayaks and other small paddle craft where a compact, portable heading reference is needed. The dial reads directly rather than through a lubber line, making it easy to check a heading at a glance while underway. Night visibility is handled by 3 included Cyalume light sticks, so the dial stays readable after dark without wiring or batteries. The housing is constructed of plastic for light weight, and the compass attaches using a lanyard mount, letting it be carried aboard a kayak, canoe, or small tender without a permanent mounting installation. At 0.3125 pounds, it adds negligible weight to a kayak deck or dash. The X-11Y ships in yellow for high visibility on the water. Ritchie backs the SportAbout X-11Y with a 5-year warranty. Product dimensions are 7 inches long by 5 inches wide. This compass is a standalone unit and is a separate item from the Ritchie X-TD Tie-Down and the Sportabout Compass Holder, which are sold separately for mounting.
