It installs into the existing 2 inch cutout using a mounting hole of 2-1\/16 inch (56mm), making it a straightforward swap for boats already set up for a dash mount compass. The compass features a 2 inch direct reading dial in black with a blue dial face, giving a clear, easy-to-read heading at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternally, the X-23BU uses sapphire jewel and steel pivot movements for smooth, stable card action, and it includes Ritchie's exclusive NiteV night lighting so the dial stays readable after dark. The maximum mounting angle is 30 degrees, allowing it to hold accurate readings even as the dash surface is tilted within that range. This model does not include built-in compensator magnets, so compensation must be handled separately if needed. The compass is backed by Ritchie's 5-year factory warranty.\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 X-23BU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e RitchieSport Compass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dash Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-1\/16 inch (56mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApparent Card Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCard Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct Reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, NiteV night lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Mounting Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompensator Magnets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with Blue Dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches L x 4 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4375 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-year factory warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size gauge hole does the Ritchie X-23BU fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ritchie X-23BU RitchieSport dash mount compass fits a standard 2 inch gauge hole, with a mounting hole diameter of 2-1\/16 inch (56mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this compass lit for nighttime use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the X-23BU includes Ritchie's exclusive NiteV night lighting so the dial remains readable in low light and after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the X-23BU come with compensator magnets?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the RitchieSport X-23BU does not include built-in compensator magnets, so any compensation must be added separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this compass mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e The X-23BU is a dash mount compass, designed to be installed directly into a standard 2 inch gauge cutout on the helm dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the dial size on the X-23BU?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RitchieSport X-23BU has an apparent card diameter of 2 inches with a direct reading card type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the X-23BU compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e This model is black with a blue dial, giving a clean contrast for easy heading readability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum mounting angle for this compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ritchie X-23BU can be mounted at up to a 30 degree angle and still provide accurate readings within that range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat materials are used in the X-23BU compass?\u003c\/strong\u003e The X-23BU is constructed with metal and stainless steel components, including sapphire jewel and steel pivot movements for smooth card action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the X-23BU weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ritchie X-23BU RitchieSport compass weighs 0.4375 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty comes with the Ritchie X-23BU?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ritchie backs the X-23BU RitchieSport Compass with a 5-year factory warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the overall dimensions of the X-23BU?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RitchieSport X-23BU measures 5 inches long by 4 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ritchie Compass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031282753755,"sku":"RIT-X23BU","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/61DaMxUGdUL.jpg?v=1785212530","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/ritchie-x-23bu-ritchiesport-compass-dash-mount-2-inch-dial-black-with-blue-dial","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
