Plastimo Offshore 115 Compass Conical Card SOLAS MED Survey Approved Reliable Navigation for 8 to 12 m Vessels

Plastimo Offshore 115 Compass Conical Card is the dependable navigation solution for smaller powerboats and work vessels, built to endure demanding conditions. With a sleek black body and a precisely engineered conical card, this instrument is SOLAS-MED 96/98 approved and specifically designed for vessels under survey, typically 8 to 12 metres in length. It’s the trusted choice when you need clear, reliable readings at all speeds and seas. The conical card features a clear 5° graduation and prominent heading numerals every 30°, ensuring fast, unambiguous readings even in rough weather or heavy spray. This design minimizes parallax error and provides a stable reference point for accurate navigation, helping you keep your plan on course when visibility is limited. A thoughtfully designed protective hood protects the bowl from the elements. The hood is articulated and slides shut across three telescopic parts with cushioned closing, keeping the compass interior free from dust and moisture while you’re underway or dockside. This rugged housing complements the compact flush-mount footprint for a clean deck or console install. Plastimo’s innovative Vibration Absorber system sits at the heart of the Offshore 115, delivering exceptional stability by minimizing contact between the pivot and sapphire cup. Independently tested, this feature reduces readings’ drift caused by hull pounding and engine vibrations, so you get dependable bearings in demanding conditions. The system is complemented by a single lubber line to reference the card’s orientation at a glance. Installation and wiring are streamlined for quick setup. The Offshore 115 is a flush-mount instrument designed to sit on a horizontal surface, with the option for binnacle mounting if your layout calls for it. It ships with the necessary screws and drilling template, and includes 12–24 V LED illumination to ensure visibility day or night without draining power. Compensation is supplied as standard, so the card remains readable across temperature changes and pressure variations.
