## Description

desertcart.com : Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass, Black, 2.75-inch Dial : Boat Compasses : Sports & Outdoors

Review: This is a nice Compass, ships quick - I really like this compass, however, I purchased it for a motorcycle, and it's too big. I used to be a mariner, this is a nice compass for a boat, or other, if you have the room? It's accurate, easy to read, it has a built-in light, mounting is straight forward and simple. If I still owned a boat, I would keep this compass. I will say, if they ever make a mini, of this exact compass, (motorcycle friendly) it would be a good seller, as the others I've tried, have issues, and aren't accurate. This compass proved to work great, and is really accurate on a motorcycle, however, it's just too big. I'm sure this will work awesome for a boat, or other, however, just make sure you have enough room, as it's larger than it looks in the photo.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Compass for Small Vessel
*by B***I on January 26, 2026*

I bought this compass to replace the original one on my 1986 Boston Whaler. I am sitting here in 2026 looking to replace it because last time I took my boat out, I noticed there was a lack fluid in the compass. _It appears like the globe is cracked and the fluid leaked out or some seal dried out and it leaked. I got about eight years of service out of my purchase. I will replace it with the same unit today.
