Silva 125 T 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 125T pedestal compass is designed for boats and sailors that demand absolute accuracy and a steady card in all conditions and heeling angles.

The Silva 125T compass is suitable for most larger sailing boats and motor yachts and owing to the effective dampening of the compass card, it is the correct choice even for larger speedboats.

Benefits:

• Compass permits up to 45° heeling and unlimited tilting fore and aft.
• Two extra lubber lines at 45° offset permit reading from the rail or an off steering position mounting.
• Lubber lines are counter-balanced and will remain vertical even in rough seas.
• All lubber lines are easily read through the patented transparent compass card.
• A sighting peg from the centre eliminates parallax errors and facilitates off course bearings.
• Apparent scale size of 125 mm, a gimballed cradle and the standard 175mm base plate fits most steering pedestals.
• Possibility to compensate for magnetic field disturbance and it is also possible to add a heeling compensator.
• The integrated illumination in the adjustable protection cover offers ideal night vision.
