Marine Compasses

Despite the popularity of GPS and chartplotters, marine compasses still play a vital role in the operation of a commercial or recreational boat. They can provide valuable directional information without turning on expensive equipment or opening unnecessary applications on your smartphone.

Purchasing Marine Compasses With Boating & RV

Designed for simplicity and accuracy, marine compasses can be used for sailing, safety, or to send you in the right direction when you know where the big fish are biting. We have a range of compasses suitable for marine applications for every boating enthusiast’s needs and budget.

When purchasing a compass for your next boating adventure, consider these few variables to ensure you’re getting the right product:

  • Will it be used on a powerboat or sailboat?
  • Will it be mounted or handheld?
  • If you’re mounting in-dash, will it need to be a horizontal or vertical mount?
  • How much space do you have compared to the instrument size?

As a rule of thumb, buy the largest compass for your helm or dash. The bigger the compass is, the easier it is to read and the more stable it’s likely to be, making it more accurate even in rough waters.

Most compasses can be installed quite easily, but if your instrument requires power for lighting, it’s always recommended that you seek the assistance of a marine or auto electrician.
