Offshore 75 compass, bracket / mini-binnacle

Installation

  • Mini-binnacle : mounts on a horizontal surface thanks to the unique clip-plate which allows the compass to be removed.
  • Bracket : the broad and sturdy bracket base absorbs the vibrations. Mounting can be done on any surface, whatever the angle, provided that the compass + card unit remains horizontal at all times. Bracket-mount compass can also be removed when fitted with clip-plate.
