Ritchie Navigation HB-741 Helmsman Bracket-Mount Compass
The Ritchie HB-741 is a versatile bracket-mount magnetic steering compass from the Helmsman series, featuring a 3.75" Combi dial that combines a traditional compass rose with degree markings for easy simultaneous reading of heading and bearing. The adjustable, removable bracket mount makes it a practical choice for vessels where a permanent flush or binnacle installation isn't possible — or where flexibility to reposition the compass is needed.
Built on Ritchie's precision sapphire jewel and hardened steel pivot movement, the HB-741 delivers fast heading lock-on and stable readings in all conditions. Custom-fitted protective covers are available, and the unit is fully repairable — backed by Ritchie's exclusive 5-year warranty.

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: The HB-741 is the right choice when a permanent flush or binnacle installation isn't practical — particularly on smaller powerboats, center consoles, and rental or charter vessels where the compass may need to be removed or repositioned. The adjustable bracket and thumbscrew design makes installation and removal straightforward without tools. The Combi dial is a bonus for navigators who take visual bearings at the helm. If a permanent flush-mount installation is planned, the HF-743 Helmsman flush-mount is the same series in a panel-integrated format.
