Ritchie Explorer S-53G Compass Grey is a compact, premium surface-mounted marine compass designed for powerboats. Its low-profile design takes up minimal space at the helm while still providing excellent readability thanks to the large 70 mm Direct Reading (DR) compass card. The grey housing and blue front-reading compass card make it easy to maintain an accurate course in all boating conditions.

The compass features a quick-release compass module that can be removed at the push of a button for convenient storage when not in use. Integrated green 12 V night illumination ensures clear visibility after dark, while the adjustable sun shield improves readability in bright sunlight.

Compact Design with Practical Convenience

The Explorer S-53G combines the functionality of a full-size marine compass with a space-saving, low-profile design. Its removable compass module makes storage simple and helps protect the instrument when the boat is unattended. The compact footprint makes it especially well suited to modern helm layouts where space is at a premium.

Powerful DirectiveForce magnets provide rapid heading stabilization, while precision sapphire bearings and a hardened steel pivot deliver smooth, accurate performance in all conditions.

Built for Demanding Marine Environments

Integrated compensators allow precise deviation adjustment, and the high-temperature composite housing is engineered to withstand harsh marine environments and changing weather conditions. The fully serviceable construction ensures dependable performance and a long service life, even with frequent use.
