Great pocket cruiser compass
Great value...Bought for my 1981 Sovereign 17 fractional sloop.I angusihed over a bulkhead mout and this flush mount. Tiller steering made it a hard choice. The instrument arrived before time and is all I had hoped for. I will mount it in a removeable box affair between the cockpit seats so it will be on center line, and can be removed for security.This instrument has mag dampers, is adjustable has sun shield. and is lit. Cannot beat the price for this fine instrument.

Perfect
I replaced a worn out compass and the new one is a perfect replacement and a great value. I anticipate decades of service.

They don't make them like they used to
After a year and a half, big air bubble in this compass. I have a Danforth in my other boat that came new with the boat in 2005 and it still looks and functions as new. Unfortunately, if you research these small marine compasses, you find this company bought out the good brand(s) and gives you far lesser quality for more money plus these cannot be refilled or rebuilt. I guess that's just the way a lot of things are now. Sad.

Very Nice Replacement!
This is a perfect replacement for the old one on my boat. The compass is very clear and surprisingly magnified. I have not installed it to give a thumbs up on the lighted part, but I am delighted with the product out of the box!

It's a good compass.
Bought a used boat with a bad compass. This model of Ritchie compasses were posted to be a replacement for the original Danforth. Had to chisel out a small piece of dashboard, to allow fora screw, but it fits fine and does the job. Have only had it for two boatings, but the GPS unit went out, and we had to reply on the compass. Glad we bought it.

Careful for shorted/kinked wires
Mounts up easy and install was simple enough. Main/only issue for me.... I rewired my whole boat and added electronics including this compass. As part of the nav light circuit I wired the compass into that so it lights up when I turn the nav lights on. Well where the cord on the compass goes down and underneath the unit the wires had been kinked and were shorted. Either from the factory or from shipping? Since this was a new/full rewire it took some time to find the short that was blowing my nav light fuses. Pain in the a$# and the wires are tiny but I was able to fix it
