S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black

The Compass, Surface Mount, 2.75" Dial, Blk is a convenient and easy-to-install compass for your vehicle. It is designed for surface mount in a vehicle and does not have a specified depth rating for underwater use. The compass can be wired or plugged into a cigarette lighter socket, but it is recommended to twist the wires around each other to prevent interference from a magnetic field. Mounting the compass in a car does not require drilling or suction. One user successfully mounted it on their dash using heavy-duty double stick tape, hard-wiring it beneath the base and between the assembly seam. The compass proved to be stable and maintained accurate directional readings even on rough off-road terrain. However, it is important to note that this compass is not suitable for an inverted mount. If you require an inverted mount, it is advisable to look for a different compass. Customer feedback for this product is mixed. Some reviewers have reported that the compass stopped working after only a few months of use or experienced cracking. However, others have praised its excellent quality and stability, even in rough water conditions. Some long-time users of Ritchie products have expressed their satisfaction with this compass and plan to purchase another one.
