Ritchie SS-PR2 SuperSport Compass – Dash Mount – Black

Description

For high-speed boats that need a serious compass without a huge flush-mount cutout, the Ritchie SS-PR2 SuperSport is a perfect fit. This is a dash-mount compass that uses a low-profile surface mount. It gives you the massive 4.5-inch PowerDamp dial from the SuperSport series in a housing that sits cleanly on top of your console. This dial is designed with extra-large numerals for instant readability at high speed, and the internal PowerDamp system is engineered to absorb the violent shock and vibration of a performance hull.

Inside the rugged black housing, this compass features high-power directive magnets that help the card lock onto a heading quickly. A sapphire jewel bearing and a scientifically matched gimbal system provide a smooth, stable reading. For running after dark, it comes with a brilliant 12V green LED illumination system. It is a purpose-built instrument that brings the stability of the SuperSport series to boats that need a surface-mount solution.

Helm Use and Readability

At the helm of a fast boat, the SS-PR2 is a fantastic tool. The huge 4.5-inch dial is impossible to misread, even with a quick glance. The PowerDamp feature is a game-changer, keeping the card steady when you are hitting waves hard. The green LED light is perfect for night running, providing a sharp, clear view of the numbers without the harsh glare of white light that can ruin your night vision.

Why Choose the Ritchie SS-PR2 SuperSport Marine Compass

You choose the SS-PR2 SuperSport compass when your boat is too fast for a standard compass, but you prefer a surface-mount installation. It gives you all the high-performance benefits of the SuperSport series—the big PowerDamp dial, the stronger magnets, the superior stabilization—in an easy-to-install dash-mount package. It is the perfect solution for go-fast boats, performance center consoles, and any captain who needs a stable heading at high speed.

Mounting and Compensation Considerations

Mounting this Ritchie marine compass requires a flat surface on your boat’s centerline. It must be securely bolted down to prevent it from moving or vibrating. You will need to drill a hole for the lighting wires. After it is installed, a full compensation procedure is mandatory. On a high-speed boat, an accurate magnetic heading is a critical safety tool, so take the time to swing the compass correctly.

Before Ordering the Ritchie SS-PR2 SuperSport Marine Compass

Before you buy, confirm you have a flat, solid mounting location on your dash that is on the centerline. Check the area thoroughly for magnetic interference from other electronics. Ensure you have a switched 12V power source nearby to connect the green LED system. Plan to have the compass professionally compensated for the best possible accuracy.
