So how do you refill it. Mine is all clouded
You are supposed to use Isopar L or mineral oil.
I tried mineral oil which didn't work so good. It seemed to dampen the movement of the card way too much. I'd stick with the Isopar L.

Just buy a new compass. Their not that expensive.
The fluid ran out of my compass so I ordered the parts from Ritchie to fix it. I thought I was good to go. A month later the fluid level starting getting low again.So I ordered a new compass and haven’t a problem since. Should have done that to begin with. Two weekends ago I was out on Lake Superior late at night. A storm came up and although I have gps I sure was thankful for my compass.While they may not be that expensive, it can be difficult to find an exact replacement. I purchased a new compass with the exact same number as the old one, but it used four mounting screws instead of three, so I had to buy a 90* drill attachment to drill four new holes. By the time you figure in purchase price, extra tools, and having to go through a new alignment procedure, buying brand new isn't necessarily such a good deal.
Edit: And I just remembered that I even had to enlarge the hole for the body of the new compass as well.

Can you share where you purchased the parts from? I'm needing to refill mine and am not finding the gaskets.Received my replacement parts from ritchie... new diaphragm, dome gasket and filler screw gasket. Unit refilled and back on the boat... good as new! And again- NO - contrary to the poster above DO NOT use mineral oil! Very clearly states this on the Ritchie website!
