Ritchie · F-50W · F-Series

Flush-mount. Invisible. Essential.

The F-50W is flush-mounted into the console—it sits level, with no protrusions, no brackets. A 70 mm direct-reading dial, DirectiveForce magnets that lock onto headings instantly, and a finish that blends in with the dashboard. For those who want professional navigation without sacrificing aesthetics.

Recreational sailboat in Caribbean waters — the flush-mounted F-50W, navigation with style.

Installation

Flush. No protrusions.

Flush-mount installation into the console. A 3.75" (95 mm) hole, the compass drops in and sits flush with the dash. No brackets, no visible screws, no obstructing elements. Clean aesthetics, professional navigation.

Night

3:00 AM. The dial, lit up.

The internal green lighting does not rely on batteries or the console. It is passive, constant, and always ready. When everything else goes dark, the F-50W is still there.

Precision

Read the heading, don't interpret it.

70 mm dial with high-contrast numbers. Direct reading eliminates ambiguity: you see the exact degree without calculating, without guessing. DirectiveForce magnets lock onto the heading in fractions of a second—no oscillation, no doubt.
