Ritchie SS-5000 SuperSport Compass Technical Guide
The SS-5000 is engineered with a PowerDamp dial technology that specifically eliminates spinning and oscillation during high speeds and rough sea conditions. This ensures the helmsman has a rock-steady heading reference when it matters most.
Yes, this compass features integrated green NiteLight illumination, providing a soft glow that makes the 5-inch dial clearly visible without ruining the captain's night vision during late-hour transits.
The low-profile flush mount allows for a seamless, professional installation on any flat dash surface. It minimizes the vertical footprint on the console while keeping the large dial at the perfect viewing angle for the operator.
The SS-5000 includes built-in compensator magnets, allowing you to fine-tune the compass and correct for deviation caused by onboard electronics or metal structures near the helm.
The unit uses a hardened acrylic dome that is optically clear and UV-stabilized. This prevents yellowing or clouding over time, ensuring the heading remain perfectly legible after years of sun exposure.
