Ritchie YB-600 Globemaster Steel Boat Compass w/5° Card - 12V - Yoke Mounted - Black

The Ritchie YB-600 Globemaster Steel Boat Compass with 5° Card is a professional-grade marine navigation instrument designed for serious boaters, commercial operators, and coastal captains who demand reliable directional guidance in all conditions. After years on the water, any experienced skipper knows that a dependable compass is non-negotiable—it's your fallback when electronics fail and your constant reference point for safe navigation.

This yoke-mounted steel compass combines traditional magnetic navigation with modern durability, making it the go-to choice for vessels that run hard and need equipment that won't quit. Built with a robust steel housing, the YB-600 resists corrosion and vibration from engine operation, while the 5° card provides precise heading increments for accurate course plotting and navigation. The 12V electrical compatibility integrates seamlessly with modern vessel power systems, allowing for optional illumination during night operations and poor visibility.

The yoke-mount design ensures secure installation on console or bulkhead, with the heavy construction dampening card swing and maintaining steady readings even in rough seas and variable heading conditions. Ritchie's time-tested design minimizes compass deviation when properly installed with adequate distance from ferrous metals and electronic interference sources. Captains operating fishing boats, cruising vessels, and commercial craft benefit most from the YB-600's unwavering accuracy.
