Grady 232 2016 wiper blades and compass

[fshnfool]

Anyone know the replacement parts for wipers on my Gulf Stream? I also need to replace my compass as the water inside has begun to evaporate. Tried to just add water but the compass does not allow that so I need to replace the full unit.

Most compasses can be filled, do a search in google and you you will find many articles and videos.
Do not use water, it's a kimnd of oil or special compass liquid!
However, sometimes it's the best/easiest to buy a new one.

Repairing a compass is a loosing proposition. They leak the mineral oil they are filled with because of bad seals or cracked plastic. Probably a Ritchie. Search online. Make sure you know your cutout size and buy adapter ring if needed.

NAPA has old truck style and automotive style. I just replied to someone about this. Search GG hookup1 wiper and you will hind it.

Yes... NOT water!

If it's a nicer compass ($$) check with Ritchie. They used to have a rebuild service - I have no idea if they still do. If they do, it will come back to you like new.

Only fixing high end models. Check your model.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Ritchie Navigation is no longer offering our factory refurbishment program on Helmsman, Voyager, Explorer, or Sport series compasses.
