Ritchie BN-202 Navigator Compass, Black Bulkhead Mount

Heading and heel information in one bulkhead-mounted compass

The Ritchie BN-202 Navigator Compass combines a 4½-inch (115 mm) CombiDial with a built-in inclinometer. Internal gimbal systems support stability during adverse pitch and roll, while built-in 12V amber LED lighting helps keep the dial readable after dark.

Important mounting requirements

Fits a 5.75-inch (146 mm) mounting hole. The compass must be mounted perpendicular (90°) to the boat's centerline and vertical (90°) to the waterline with the boat on a level keel. If the bulkhead does not meet either requirement, a fairing block MUST be used to achieve the correct orientation.
