RITCHIE COMPASS DEVELOPED FOR SERIOUS ROUGH WATER

Ritchie Compass

Aug 16, 2020

To help keep those aboard safe, critical equipment such as the compass must hold up in the rough stuff. The 4.5″ SS-2000 SuperSport™ Navigator from Ritchie Navigation passes the test; it was developed for offshore racing where pounding through rough water is just an average day. Featuring PowerDamp technology and DirectiveForce™ magnets, the high-visibility blue card is velvety-smooth, yet quick to respond to course changes, making it the ideal compass for recreational or professional use.

The high-performance SS-2000 SuperSport’s PowerDamp Plus dial has extra-large white numbers for reading at a distance. White 45° lubberlines on either side of the main lubberline make holding a course easy from different viewing angles. This durable Ritchie compass comes standard with a movable sun shield and 12V green LED illumination to optimize viewing for any condition.

Extra-large hardened steel pivots, an internal gimbal system and jeweled bearings on the SS-2000 SuperSport ensure maximum stability during adverse pitch and roll conditions. Built-in compensators easily adjust for deviation for a wider range of installation locations.

Available in black and white, the flush-mount Ritchie SS-2000 SuperSport fits a 4.75″–5.125″ hole. A mounting gasket and template are included. It comes with a five-year warranty, is 100% repairable and in the USA, has an MSRP of $451.93 USD.
