The main difference between a powerboat compass and a sailboat compass is the heeling angle limit and the damping<br />
characteristics. A powerboat compass has fixed lubber lines to maintain the best dynamics, while steel boats need<br />
compas<strong>se</strong>s with D-correctors or soft iron correctors.<br />

Which size of compass do I need?<br />
What is the size of your boat?<br />
If the compass will be read from a distance you will need a bigger<br />
compass. The simple thumb rule is: a boat longer than 7,5 meters<br />
(25 feet) requires a 100 <strong>se</strong>ries capsule or larger.<br />
70 <strong>se</strong>ries has an apparent scale of 70mm<br />
100 <strong>se</strong>ries has an apparent scale of 100mm<br />
125 <strong>se</strong>ries has an apparent scale of 125mm<br />
What type of mounting do I need?<br />
Where will the compass be mounted?<br />
There is a Silva compass for every mounting need. In the<br />
bulkhead, on the dashboard, on the headlining, on the mast<br />
etc. All models are designed so that no unnecessary drilling is<br />
needed.<br />
Why do I need a compensator?<br />
We strongly recommend the u<strong>se</strong> of a compensator, and not only<br />
in steel boats. Almost all models can be supplied with a built-in<br />
compensator to avoid magnetic disturbances. Such disturbances<br />
will be found on any boat, the source varies from loudspeakers to<br />
the radio, engine, wipers, electronic instruments (not NX2) and<br />
other metallic components. Remember that the distance to the<br />
source is more critical than its strength.<br />
All Silva marine compas<strong>se</strong>s have 5 years warranty.<br />
