Plastimo Mini Contest Bulkhead Mount Compass Black 70mm Card Night Illumination For Boats 19 To 34 Ft

Plastimo Mini Contest Bulkhead Mount Compass Black is a compact, dependable navigation instrument designed for boats from 19 to 34 feet. Built by Plastimo, a trusted name in marine instruments, this bulkhead-mounted compass delivers clear, reliable headings without clutter, making every maneuver easier—whether you’re docking in calm harbors or steering through choppy seas.

Precision you can rely on at a glance. The 70 mm compass card is mounted on a cylindrical display with graduations every 5 degrees, while the apparent card diameter of 85 mm ensures quick recognition of your heading in varying light and sea states. Heading numerals are marked every 30 degrees for intuitive orientation as you steer.

• Mounting versatility – install on a vertical bulkhead or, with the optional mast mounting kit, place it where it best suits your boat’s layout.
• Clear reference lines – three lubber lines at 45° guide precise alignment to your intended course, helping you maintain steady steering.
• Heelmeter – graduations every 10° provide immediate feedback on heel, supporting safer navigation when the boat heels in gusty conditions.
• Night-ready illumination – 12 Vdc lighting with a red light on a black card delivers sharp contrast without glare, enabling reliable readings after dark or in low-light marinas.
• Protection and installation built-in – comes with a protective cover and drilling template to simplify mounting and protect the instrument from the elements.

Designed for real-world sailing, this compass fits weekend cruisers, coastal voyagers, and small to mid-size vessels that require a durable, easy-to-read heading instrument. The bulkhead-mount form reduces dashboard clutter while keeping the compass within easy line-of-sight for the helmsman, enhancing situational awareness on every tack and trim.
