Ritchie FB-500 Globemaster | 5-Inch Flush Mount Compass
Engineered to overcome steering fatigue on large offshore vessels, the Ritchie FB-500 Globemaster features a 5-inch dial with a high-precision 5-degree card. This professional-grade flush-mount compass uses large DirectiveForce magnets and full internal gimbals to provide an unwavering heading reference, ensuring the captain can maintain an accurate track even during heavy pitching and rolling in open ocean conditions.
Tailored for permanent helm installation, the FB-500 includes 12V lighting and built-in compensators. Strategic placement away from high-current electrical panels is critical to minimizing magnetic deviation, ensuring the 5-degree markings provide a trustworthy and highly readable analog cross-reference to your primary digital navigation suite.
