Ritchie · F-83 · F Series

3 inches. Zero excuses.

The F-83 raises the stakes: 76 mm CombiDial for magnified reading, exclusive green NiteVu lighting from Ritchie, and flush mounting that sits level with the console. For those who navigate far from the coast and need clear data at a glance, without sacrificing aesthetics.

Ritchie equipment installed on a coastal rescue boat — real navigation in real conditions.

CombiDial

Bigger. Clearer. Faster to read.

A 76 mm diameter isn't a whim — it's the difference between reading your heading at a glance and having to lean in. The CombiDial magnifies numbers and cardinal marks. From the helm, at a meter's distance, it reads perfectly.

NiteVu

Night is not a problem.

NiteVu is Ritchie's exclusive night lighting technology. Green, passive, no batteries required. It doesn't compete with the navigator's night vision or interfere with onboard electronics. It simply works — all night, every night.

Installation

Flush. No protrusions.

Flush mount on the console. A 3.75" (95 mm) hole, the compass inserts and sits flush with the dashboard. No brackets, no visible screws, no obstructing elements. Clean aesthetics, professional navigation.
