The Ritchie Navigation Voyager F-83B is a highly durable, traditional magnetic helm compass engineered primarily for center consoles, powerboats, and commercial workboats.

The unique feature of the  is its dual-read design: it acts as both a flat card compass when looking down, and a direct-reading compass when looking straight ahead at the helm, making it exceptionally easy to read at eye level or from an angle.

Key Performance Features

• Directive Force Magnets: Utilizes Ritchie’s proprietary powerful matched magnets to deliver rapid response, locking onto headings quickly without sluggish dragging or excessive spinning.

• Internal Sun Shield: Equipped with an adjustable/movable protective hood cover that slides down over the dome to shield the acrylic from harsh UV degradation when the vessel is docked or at anchor.

• Built-In Deviation Adjustment: Features easily accessible internal compensator slots on the base body. These allow a marine technician or captain to trim out magnetic deviation caused by nearby electrical wiring, instrumentation, or iron-hull structures.

• Repairable Design: Unlike disposable liquid compasses, the Voyager line is completely repairable—meaning seals, internal diaphragm fluids, and lighting wires can be serviced or replaced over time.
