Ritchie Voyager B-81 Bracket Mount Compass, 3 Inch CombiDial, Black

The Ritchie Voyager B-81 is a bracket mount marine compass built for boaters who want a durable, easy-to-read heading reference that can be moved, tilted, or removed as needed. The compass uses a 3 inch (76mm) CombiDial, a design that combines readability with a compact housing, set inside a black bracket mount body that attaches with a mount and thumbscrews so it can be adjusted or taken off the boat entirely. For low-light and night operation, the B-81 includes built-in 12V green NiteVu illumination, keeping the dial visible without washing out night vision at the helm. Built-in compensators let the compass be adjusted on the boat to correct for magnetic deviation caused by nearby electronics or metal, so the heading stays accurate for the specific vessel it is mounted on. The dial movement uses a sapphire jewel and hardened steel pivot for smooth, stable rotation over years of use. The housing is a durable plastic construction suited to the marine environment. Ritchie backs the Voyager B-81 with a 5 year warranty. This bracket mount format makes it a good fit for boaters who want the flexibility to reposition or remove the compass, as opposed to a permanently flush-mounted unit.
