Ritchie Navigation makes magnetic compasses for boats, sold in named series. This page lists the Ritchie compasses we carry by series: Explorer, Voyager, Helmsman, Navigator and SuperSport, the Venture and Tactician, and a kayak compass. Most come in black or white and in more than one mounting style.
Explorer compasses
The Explorer is offered in flush, bracket, surface, dash and bulkhead mounts, for example the F-50 flush mount and the B-51 bracket mount.

Venture, Tactician and kayak compasses
There is also the Venture SR-2 bulkhead compass, the Tactician XP-98W with tactical dial and the XP-99 kayak compass.
Which Ritchie compass mount do I need?
Flush mount compasses sit in a cutout in the dash. Bracket mount compasses sit on a bracket on top of the dash. Surface mount compasses fasten to a flat surface, and bulkhead compasses mount on a vertical surface.
How do I tell black from white models?
In the models listed here a W at the end of the model number marks the white version, as in F-50 and F-50W.
What is a Ritchie CombiDial?
A dial that can be read two ways, as a direct reading dial from behind and as a flat card from above.
