The C8-0027 is a bracket-mount compass for vertical installation, intended for workboats, lifeboats, and other motor vessels. You can mount it to the wheelhouse ceiling, against the roof edge, or on a side wall, and the 100 mm conical card remains easily readable while sitting, standing, or viewing from below at an angle. The housing is made of corrosion-resistant polymer with an impact-resistant, clear dome.
Mounted overhead and yet readable from any steering position.
Made to order — NL & EU 3–7 days | outside EU 7–10 days
Mount it so that the lubber line is exactly on the longitudinal axis of the ship; otherwise, you will consistently get an inaccurate reading. The lighting operates on 12 V.
