Designed for modern consoles

Contemporary control consoles often host multiple electronic devices and control instruments, resulting in reduced space for installing traditional accessories. This compass is designed to meet this need, promoting a more orderly and functional arrangement of elements on the console.

Use of alternative surfaces

A distinctive feature of the concept is the ability to utilize normally unused surfaces, such as the overhead panel facing the console. In contexts where every area of the console is already occupied, this setup helps keep the main instrumentation in a privileged position, without giving up a well-placed navigation reference.

• the console is already occupied by displays and instruments and you want to free up space on the console;
• you want to position the compass in a more protected or more convenient area for consultation, for example near the headliner;
• you also navigate in variable lighting conditions and appreciate the presence of 12V lighting;
• you seek a finish black/black for aesthetic consistency with dark instruments and panels.

Advantages for installers and boat owners

Space optimization

The main advantage is the console rationalization: the idea of using alternative surfaces allows keeping the area dedicated to monitors and instruments freer, improving the overall order of the installation and reducing the need for compromises in component layout.

Readability in low light conditions

The presence of 12V lighting is a practical support for evening or night use and, more generally, when ambient lighting is uneven. In a control area where attention must remain on navigation and main instruments, being able to rely on a readable compass contributes to more comfortable use.

Aesthetic consistency

The combination black housing and black pink it easily integrates with many modern dashboards, often characterized by dark finishes and black-framed displays. This helps achieve a clean and homogeneous final result, without unwanted color contrasts.

High-speed version

This variant is suitable for high speed (over 25 knots). If the boat is used in a dynamic navigation profile, choosing the correct version is important to maintain consistency with the intended use.

Usage and notes for selection

Version and installation check

Before purchase, it is advisable to verify that the high-speed version is the desired one for your use and that the intended position (dashboard or overhead panel) is compatible with the boat's layout. In case of refitting, also consider the overall size of the existing instrumentation to find the most functional placement.

12V lighting: general guidelines

The compass is equipped with 12V lighting. During installation, provide an adequate connection to the onboard system and an orderly cable management to keep the dashboard clean and easily inspectable. If the boat has lighting circuits dedicated to the instrumentation, integration is generally simpler.
