I just noticed that the dash mounted Faria Electronic Compass no longer works. There are no popped circuit breakers on the panel. I am not able to find anything close to it online. Any ideas where a replacement might be able to be found?

Hey bg. Look in the ski locker for a black plastic looking square box mounted off to the side. Check to see if it is disconnected or if there is any metal next to it which would cause it to act erratically. That is where the ritchie compass dash gauge receives its information. It will look something like this....

Good call A7. I forgot they used that. I remember another member had to just replace that unit.
