The Ritchie HF-743 Helmsman is a flush-mount compass built around a 3 3/4-inch CombiDial, sized to drop into a standard 4-inch mounting hole without any adapter work.
Built-in green NiteVu night illumination lights the dial without an external power source beyond standard 12-volt wiring, and built-in compensators let it be adjusted for local deviation right after installation rather than needing a separate corrector. A scientifically matched sapphire jewel and hardened steel pivot keep the dial movement smooth, backed by powerful DirectiveForce magnets for a fast, stable heading lock.
A movable sun shield with 45-degree lubber lines helps with reading the heading from an angle, and high-temperature composite construction holds up to a hot, sun-exposed helm without warping. It’s 100% repairable and backed by Ritchie’s exclusive 5-year warranty, in black. Shop more marine compasses.
