Features
The compass formed a huge air bubble. Makes it very difficult to read. The compass is non-refillable. The Richie compass fluid I purchased from Amazon is a non-returnable item.
In my opinion the usable life span of 30 months was extremely short for what I thought to be a quality product. During the 30 months of use I got it worked great. Then the plastic body of the housing that enclosed the compass cracked in multiple places and allowed the liquid to leak out. I removed the compass from my boat to refill and reseal it only to find a label on the bottom stating that the housing was non refillable. There is absolutely no provision for repairing, refilling or maintainin…g this compass once the liquid is lost. The only thing left for me to do is to through it in the garbage. I don't mind paying a premium price for a premium product but this one seams extremely cheep for the price I paid. It seams that Ritchie is now banking on it's name and reputation of once being a quality product.
Very well built. Very nice smooth bezel.
This fit perfectly in the compass holder on our boat. We are very pleased with it.
Looks good
Wow, what an upgrade over my older Ritchie. Fits in the same 3.75"-hole, but I swear the compass-card is TWICE the size. I can read this new compass without glasses, no-problem. Additionally, you can easily see the front and rear center index lines simultaneously, so you know HOW to view the compass without perspective-error. I bought the H-741-C plastic cover (not-included, but shown in my pictures) because I'm tired of replacing these Helmsman compasses every 4-5 years (though I think they br…eak from freezing more than 150° dash, but thought it worth a try). This Ritchie Helmsman has TWO sets of wires for the independent internal LEDs that have to be wired-up, if you want the front and rear lights enabled.
Installs easy, very nice compass, lot easier to read than old one.
As advertised, works perfectly.
This compass works good.You'll have to drill a large hole.My only negative is that the green light is not very bright.I tried calling Ritchie numerous times (to see if there was a way to make it brighter) and finally got a hold of someone. They took a message for the tech to call me back, but they never called.
