The Ritchie V-527 Kayak Compass with bulkhead mount and white dial is a purpose-built navigation instrument designed for paddlers, rescue teams, and wilderness professionals who rely on accurate heading reference in open water environments.

The white dial enhances readability in varying light conditions, suitable for dawn-to-dusk expeditions and emergency navigation scenarios. Featuring a fluid-damped card mechanism, the compass stabilizes the magnetic needle even in choppy water or rough paddling conditions, reducing oscillation and improving bearing accuracy during transit. The bulkhead mount design allows secure, permanent installation directly onto kayak hulls, canoe frames, or raft sponsons without requiring adhesive or complex modifications.
Survival instructors, backcountry guides, and search-and-rescue teams can benefit from the Ritchie V-527's reliable performance in critical navigation situations. Its compact size and lightweight design make it an ideal choice for those who need a dependable compass for kayak, canoe, or raft navigation. The white-faced dial with standard cardinal markings and degree increments ensures quick, intuitive heading reads even for navigators wearing sunglasses or operating in variable lighting.
