PLASTIMO Offshore Bracket Mount Boat Compass – 95 Black is a compact marine navigation compass designed for powerboats measuring 6 to 10 metres (19 to 33 feet). Its black housing and black flat compass card provide a practical, coordinated appearance for installation around a boat’s helm, dashboard, or steering console. The bracket-mount configuration is suitable for horizontal or inclined mounting surfaces, giving boat owners and installers more flexibility where flush mounting is unsuitable or where cutting a large opening in the dashboard is not preferred.

This PLASTIMO Offshore 95 marine compass features a flat card with an apparent diameter of 81 mm. The card is graduated every 5 degrees, while clearly arranged heading numerals appear every 30 degrees to support quick directional readings while navigating. A red lubber line provides an immediate reference for reading the vessel’s heading. The card is individually balanced and designed for stable, legible viewing in changing marine conditions. This makes the compass useful as a primary visual heading instrument or as a dependable navigational reference alongside GPS, chartplotters, and other marine electronics.

Powerboats can experience continuous engine vibration, wave impact and hull pounding, especially during coastal cruising or operation in open water. To help maintain card stability, this surface mount compass uses Plastimo’s distinctive “Vibration Absorber” magnetic-cell system. Minimal contact between the pivot and sapphire cup contributes to steady card movement and dependable readability. Its broad bracket base also helps absorb vibration at the mounting point. The compass and card unit must remain horizontal during installation, even when the supporting bracket is secured to an inclined surface.

The watertight compass construction incorporates a one-piece moulded flange and bowl, UV-treated components and a scratch-resistant dome. A Viton® diaphragm accommodates changes in compass-fluid volume caused by differences in atmospheric pressure and temperature, helping prevent bubble formation inside the compass. Integrated 12–24V LED lighting evenly illuminates the card for easier night-time reading and makes the compass compatible with common boat electrical systems. Compensation is supplied as standard and can be adjusted externally on the bracket version without opening the compass. The bracket-mounted unit is removable through its clip-plate arrangement and is supplied with a clip plate, mounting screws, and drilling template. This black flat-card version corresponds to current product reference 65734 and replaces previous part number 55376.
