The C8-0027 is one of the most highly regarded and versatile compasses in our range, specifically designed for professional use on workboats, rescue vessels, and other motor vessels. This model offers a reliable and durable solution for demanding maritime environments where accuracy and flexibility are essential.

What sets this compass apart is its vertical bulkhead style , which provides an exceptionally wide viewing angle. This design ensures the compass dial remains perfectly readable, whether you're sitting, standing, or looking at it from an angle. This makes the compass ideal for mounting above eye level —for example, on the ceiling of a wheelhouse, against the eaves, or on a side wall. It's ideal for situations where dashboard space is limited or where magnetic interference prevents the use of a standard console mount.

The 100 mm diameter conical compass card not only provides a clear 5-degree scale but is also easy to read from a distance. This makes the compass particularly suitable for a wide range of wheelhouse configurations on small to medium-sized vessels.

Furthermore, the C8-0027 is equipped with 12V lighting , making it suitable for use in dark conditions. The robust, corrosion-resistant polymer housing and impact-resistant transparent dome ensure long-lasting performance, even in harsh weather conditions.

This compass complies with all major maritime standards, including the Marine Equipment Directive 2014/90/EC and ISO 25862:2019 , and comes with a generous 5-year warranty .

Whether you work in commercial shipping, rescue services, or professional inland and coastal waters, the C8-0027 is a reliable and versatile choice for safe navigation – anywhere in the world.
