Silva 85 Compass

Silva is synonymous in the manufacturing of marine compasses. The Silva quality is second to none.

Durability - The capsule bowl, made from clear and scratch-resistant acrylic, ensures excellent readability and lasts over time.

Low Friction - The combination of a sapphire jewel bearing and a hardened steel pivot minimises friction, which in turn gives rapid and accurate movements.

Perfect Dampening - The no-spin compass car is designed for perfect dampening and exact reading.

Accurate Reading - The gimballed suspension system enables accurate reading and undisturbed functionality - even when the boat is exposed to rough seas.

The Silva 85 is a stable compass for small, fast boats. It has a memory ring for setting the desired course.

Clear scales and quick readability make this compass perfect for navigating in high speed. The flat-bottom design enables flush installation without making large holes in the boat. A common configuration is two 85 compasses, one on each rail. This enables you to move around more freely in the boat.

Thanks to the excellent dampening of the compass card, 85 is suitable for high speeds and rough conditions.
