C-28 Compass

[Martin610]

Hi Guys,
I have to replace the capsule in my Ritchie compass mounted at the helm. Seems to have lost a lot of fluid. Does anyone know the model number? It might be the Ritchie voyager (S-87) but I would like to confirm before I order it.

TIA,

watching - mine has just done the same - in fact I saw bubbles rise up when I tapped it this weekend. Im thinking a gasket has failed and its leaking below. im going to remove mine and see if its repairable

in the absence of actual model numbers i was just searching and the f83 looks like the fit on the cutwater https://www.hodgesmarine.com/ritf-8...4tLZ2HTlTZ37U9KVcaxn0qm6GLASVQnAaAmANEALw_wcB

I replaced the compass on my 2013 CW26 this summer. Model number F-83 .

I have heard of the fluid boiling out of them in the hot summer sun. I cover mine with a white towel when not cruising and they have never had this issue.
