The CHB-0090 Compass is based on a traditional design of lifeboat compass. The unit comprises an externally gimballed compass enclosed in a weather proof ABS binnacle. Lighting is provided by a clip-on waterproof illumination unit - this may be stowed separately when not in use.
Although most lifeboats are fully enclosed now, there is still a demand for this classic style of compass and it would meet the requirements for IMPA code 330211 "LIFEBOAT COMPASS 100MM, WITH COVER".
This compass has Marine Equipment Directive (MED) 96/98 EC approved making this compass suitable for installation as a lifeboat compass in accordance with SOLAS regulations.
